Developing a once-a-month oral contraceptive

Investigators designed a capsule that can be swallowed once a month, reside in the stomach and release a drug to prevent pregnancy Daily oral contraceptive pills allow women to manage their fertility, but this method of contraception relies on a user remembering to take her pill at the same time every day. In a multi-national

Delivering insulin, therapeutics and perhaps even vaccines . . . by pill

Coated pill carries microneedles that deliver insulin and other drugs to the lining of the small intestine. Many drugs, especially those made of proteins, cannot be taken orally because they are broken down in the gastrointestinal tract before they can take effect. One example is insulin, which patients with diabetes have to inject daily or

Machine learning can help predict the risk of heart failure in diabetes patients

Investigators used artificial intelligence to identify top 10 variables that can predict, with a high degree of accuracy, future heart failure among patients living with diabetes Heart failure is an important potential complication of type 2 diabetes that occurs frequently and can lead to death or disability. Earlier this month, late-breaking trial results revealed that

Can gut bacteria prevent and even reverse food allergies?

Study finds altered gut microbiota in infants with food allergy; oral therapy to replenish bacteria prevented food allergy and suppressed established disease in mice. Every three minutes, a food-related allergic reaction sends someone to the emergency room in the U.S. Currently, the only way to prevent a reaction is for people with food allergies to

Using sensory nanoparticles to detect disease

Building on new insights about nanoparticles, investigators develop a test for early detection of diseases, including different types of cancer Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital are taking advantage of a unique phenomenon of nanoparticles to develop a test for early detection of different types of diseases, including cancer. Through previous investigations, Morteza Mahmoudi, PhD,

Researchers invent a resistance-sensing injection device (needle) that knows where to go

Smart Needle Syringes and hollow needles—among the most feared and most commonly used tools in medical practice—have been around for more than a century. However, the precise insertion of these devices depends largely on the technique and skill of the person delivering the injection. And some anatomical regions, such as the space in the back

A big move forward towards defeating glioblastoma

New approach using multiple microRNA ‘hitchhikers’ to weaken cancer cells in advance of standard therapy shows promise in preclinical models In cancer therapeutics research, microRNAs–tiny strings of nucleotides that get churned out inside cells–have been a source of both excitement and disappointment. While preclinical studies have found that microRNAs play an important role in cancer
