To facilitate drug receptor identification, we have developed latex beads that can be adapted to the small-scale purification of drug receptors. Compared to commonly used supports such as agarose ...

by eating beads covered with a chemical that metabolizes into the compound gamma hydroxy butyrate - the so-called date-rape drug. The compound can induce unconsciousness, seizures, drowsiness ...

These beads were first put to the test in laboratory experiments that placed them alongside tumors within a peritoneum, a membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity. Here, the drug ...

A new phase 1 safety trial has demonstrated that idarubicin-loaded beads are well tolerated by ... 28% of patients had complete responses to the drug, and the tumors of 24% of patients had a ...

Earlier this year, scientists demonstrated "drug factory" beads that could be implanted alongside ovarian and colorectal tumors in mice to destroy them in less than a week.

A new phase 1 safety trial has demonstrated that idarubicin-loaded beads are well tolerated by patients but are toxic to liver cancer cells. Idarubicin is an anthracycline that is currently used to ...

Clarification: This story was updated to clarify a type of drug mixed with other substances to increase volume. When authorities announced the seizure of 1.4 metric tons of liquid heroin in Oregon ...

Magnetic beads (or superparamagnetic particles) are highly versatile and automation-friendly tools used to purify, enrich or deplete most biological targets, including cells, exosomes, proteins and ...
