To ensure efficacy but avoid toxicity, many drugs require monitoring of their concentrations in the patient’s blood during therapy. Currently, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is done in diagnostic laboratories that need trained personnel and expensive in ...
Cognitive enhancers (nootropics) are drugs to treat cognition deficits in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, stroke, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or aging. Cognition refers to a capacity for information processing, app ...
The decision-making process regarding drug dose, regularly used in everyday medical practice, is critical to patients’ health and recovery. It is a challenging process, especially for a drug with narrow therapeutic ranges, in which a medical doctor decides ...
The trend towards personalized medicine and the long-standing wish to reduce drug consumption and unwanted side effects have been the driving force behind research on drug delivery vehicles that control localization, timing and dose of released cargo. Cont ...
Protein therapeutics represent a powerful class of clinically approved drugs for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Once administered, the biological fate of protein therapeutics is governed by the body's various complex biochemical and biop ...
HEMA hydrogels are hydrophobic biocompatible hydrogel with high mechanical and viscoelastic properties, which are widely used in biomedical application including drug delivery systems. The mechanical properties and permeability of these hydrogels can be tu ...
Drug delivery is one of the most common clinical routines in hospitals, and is critical to patients’ health and recovery. It includes a decision making process in which a medical doctor decides the amount (dose) and frequency (dose interval) on the basis o ...
Cognitive enhancers (nootropics) are drugs to treat cognition deficits in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, stroke, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or aging. Cognition refers to a capacity for information processing, app ...
The clinical efficacy and safety of a drug is determined by its activity profile across many proteins in the proteome. However, designing drugs with a specific multi-target profile is both complex and difficult. Therefore methods to design drugs rationally ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a streptomycin (STR)-dependent mutant that enters a viable but nonreplicating state in the absence of STR, has been developed as a simple model for drug testing against dormant bacilli. Here, we further evaluated the STR-sta ...
