Rethinking the Lengthy Path of Cancer Drug Development

The average drug takes eight years to develop and costs more than $800 million, according to a new study performed at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development in Boston. Shift from traditional drug development to the most promising biopharmaceuticals developed via living cells, and that average cost skyrockets to $1.2 billion. As [...]

Targeted Delivery of Nanoparticles Improve Precision of Chemotherapy

Nanoparticle delivery systems can be used to dramatically improve the precision of chemotherapy administration, according to a study performed at the University of California-Irvine. Currently, cancer medications suffer from a weak targeting system. Oftentimes, chemo drugs are disseminated throughout the body, attacking both cancerous and healthy tissue. Due to this unfocused attack, cancer-fighting agents that [...]

New Drugs May Help Make Healthy Cells Immune to Radiation

Research indicates that suppression of a particular gene may help protect healthy cells and tissue from damage caused by cancer radiation treatments. The findings, reported by researchers at the University of Pittsburg (in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute), are considered as a major breakthrough in cancer research. The majority of cancer patients are treated [...]
