Cannabinoid receptor findings boost drug discovery

July 19, 2017
By John Fox
The structure of the human brain's cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1), which binds to the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (D9-THC), has been elucidated by Chinese researchers, which could have major implications for drug discovery and development.

Combination approach boosts new cancer therapy

July 12, 2017
By John Fox
An international research collaboration has found a means to improve the effect of mimetics of the second mitochondrial-derived activator of caspase (Smac), a novel class of targeted cancer drugs that act by inducing apoptotic cancer cell death and inhibiting pro-survival signaling.
