Pharmacy What is a Clinical Trial? The National Library of Medicine Clinical trials are studies by scientists that test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat disease. Scientists ask volunteers to help test new medicines or ways of doing things during these trials. Some of the things that clinical trials test include: • New devices, such as blood glucose testers for people with diabetes, pacemakers, or implants • New drugs, such as painkillers, medicines that lower your blood pressure, or treatments for cancer • New vaccines • New ways to do surgery or other procedures, such as a new kind of knee replacement, or surgery to repair the heart after someone has a heart attack and • New routines to improve a person’s health, such as changes to diet and exercise Clinical trials have helped us learn how to live longer with illnesses like cancer, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Clinical trials have also helped us use vaccines to eliminate some diseases like polio in the United States. Each clinical trial has a research plan that explains in detail how the study will be run. This plan includes information about who the scientist will ask to participate. Sometimes scientists are looking for people who have a specific disease to participate in the clinical trial. Sometimes scientists need healthy people to participate in the clinical trial. The purpose of a clinical trial is to determine if the treatment, prevention, or behavior changes that are being studied are safe and effective. Clinical trials are reviewed, approved, and monitored by a group of people not involved in the study. This group makes sure that the study is being conducted in an ethical manner and that the rights and welfare of the participants are being protected. These groups are called Institutional Review Boards or IRBs. In the United States, a clinical trial must have an IRB if it is studying a drug, biological product, or medical device that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates, or if the clinical trial is funded or conducted by the federal government.

Pharmacy Why does nanomedicine work? Dove Medical Press Nanomedicine has already revolutionized medicine, yet, we still find us asking the question “why”. In this video, Dr. Thomas J. Webster (Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Nanomedicine, Northeastern University, USA) describes why (scientifically) nanomedicine has helped to treat numerous diseases. View

Pharmacy Brief Introduction of Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) Creative Proteomics Protein-protein interactions play important roles in various biological processes. PPIs can be classified based on different factors, including composition, affinity, and lifetime. View
Pharmacy Protein Purification Cube Biotech Protein Purification aims to isolate a single type of protein from a biological tissue or culture. This video explains the most common methods applied to purify proteins, which are: Precipitation methods, filtration methods, electrophoresis and chromatographic methods. It is important to have an overview of these techniques in order to choose which method/methods suit the project best. Factors that can influence such a decision are: the desired level of purity, the accessibility of required equipment and the characteristics of the target protein. In practice multiple purification techniques are often combined. View

Pharmacy SDS-PAGE, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate–PolyAcrylamide Gel Electrophoresis–Animation Biology with Animations I make animations in biology with PowerPoint, this animation video is about DS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which is an analytical method in biochemistry for the separation of charged molecules in mixtures by their molecular masses in an electric field. It uses sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) molecules to help identify and isolate protein molecules. View
