...), which delivers TCP throughout the body, doesn't transport TCT very well. Our results demonstrate that TCT is efficiently delivered to the bloodstream despite the fact that the transfer protein has a lower affinity for TCT than it has for TCP, Sen said. Absorption of TCT is increased when the supplement is...

Researchers Use Bubbles in Cancer Treatment and Drug Delivery

...rently focused on the fundamental vaporization and transport topics that must first be understood in order to translate this developmental technique to the clinic. In traditional embolotherapy techniques, the so-called cork that doctors use to block the blood flow—called an emboli—is solid. For instance, it ...

...otein machineries. These machineries are needed to transport the protein to the correct compartment within a cell." He explained that once a bacterium infects a host or human, certain bacteria will use SecA to read the "zip code" system to secrete specific bacteria proteins into the human body. "Somehow th...

New Carrier Developed To Deliver Drugs to Gliomas

... ‘We're using the TM-601 primarily as a carrier to transport radioactive iodine to glioma cells, although there are data to suggest that it may also slow down the growth of tumor cells. If studies continue to confirm this, we may be able to use it in conjunction with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, bec...
