A method to activate targeted drugs, or smart drugs, only at the selected site of action, an approach that improves the drug's therapeutic effect and minimizes side effects, has been developed in a study led by Georgia State University.
Smart drugs, developed to improve the delivery problems of pharmaceutical drugs, are like guided missiles with warheads. They need a targeting molecule to guide pharmaceutical drug molecules to the desired site of action and a trigger to "drop the bomb" or release or activate the drug.

It might be possible to change the course of glioblastoma, a very aggressive brain cancer, by manipulating small molecules that switch genes on and off inside cells.
This was the conclusion of a study in which researchers in the United Kingdom and India manipulated gene-regulating molecules known as microRNAs in "human glioblastoma cells."

In 2016, the majority of reported patients with gonorrhea received the recommended regimen regardless of age or race/ethnicity. However, patients diagnosed with gonorrhea in sexually transmitted disease or family planning/reproductive health clinics were more likely to receive this regimen than patients diagnosed in other provider settings, according to a recently published report in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

A new rabies test developed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could mean people exposed to potentially rabid animals could forego the weekslong regimen of shots to prevent the deadly disease.
The new test, designed for use in animals, can more easily and precisely diagnose rabies infection, according to a study published today in PLOS One.

A robotic system has been developed to automate the production of human mini-organs derived from stem cells. The ability to rapidly, mass produce organoids promises to expand the use of mini-organs in basic research and drug discovery. The system was tested in producing kidney organoids, including models of polycystic kidney disease. The robots were also programmed to analyze the organoids they produced.
