Bacterial toxins for the treatment of cancer
The use of live bacteria for the treatment of cancer has a long history, but problems with toxicity have limited its value in medicine. The field has recently been revitalized with the introduction of genetically modified bacteria, as well as the use of isolated toxins and proteins from the bacteria. These bacterial components are being studied individually and in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of cancer.

Vascular Targeting Agents
Tumors are notable for having a vascular system that has physical abnormalities as well as being highly active compared with a normal vascular system. Researchers are taking advantages of these differences to develop drugs that disrupt the functioning of the tumor vascular system leading to starvation and death of the tumor.

Neuropathic Pain: New Insights, New Interventions - Part III
The conclusion of a three part series on Neuropathic Pain. This segment discusses the effect of neuropathic pain upon the circuits of the nervous system - and how they become altered. This alteration makes current pain management treatments ineffective. Thus it is necessary to research each type of pain individually and to find an effective treatment - based upon the rewired circuitry of the nervous system.
