Brain measurements could lead to better devices to move injured or artificial limbs

Neuroscientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a novel approach for measuring and deciphering brain activity that holds out promise of providing improved movements of natural or artificial limbs by those who have been injured or paralyzed.

Neuroscientists have long been working

Developing world could suffer if drug safety is not properly assessed

developing-world-could-suffer-if-drug-safety-is-not-properly-assessedMillions of people could be put at risk because progress in getting the best medicines to the developing world is not being matched by an appropriate monitoring programme say the writers of an editorial in today’s BMJ.

The developing world bears almost 90% of the planet’s disease burden. More is being done to make sure the developing world has access to effective medicines. Drug companies are coming under greater pressure to remove the legal and financial barriers to access say the writers. While they acknowledge this is good they say progress is not being matched by the development    ... Read Full Article

A new chemotherapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma

a-new-chemotherapeutic-target-for-hepatocellular-carcinomaHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health problem worldwide. Currently, the only chance for obtaining a cure in patients with HCC is by either a surgical resection or liver transplantation. However, many HCCs with scattered tumors cannot be operated on. In such patients, effective alternative therapies need to be discovered in order to treat patients in the early stages of this disease.

Study suggests brain tumors need treatment with multiple 'targeted' drugs

study-suggests-brain-tumors-need-treatment-with-multipletargeted--drugsResearchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have shown that several, rather than just one, cell-growth switches are simultaneously overactive in many brain tumors and other solid tumors, explaining why treatment with just a single "targeted" switch-blocking drug often yields disappointing results.

The laboratory finding argues for quickly moving to clinical trials that combine three    Read Full Article
