Community sewage sensors towards evaluation of drug use trends: detection of cocaine in wastewater with DNA-directed immobilization aptamer sensors [PDF]
Illicit drug use has a global concern and effective monitoring and interventions are highly required to combat drug abuse. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an innovative and cost-effective approach to evaluate community-wide drug use trends ...

Target-based evaluation of ‘drug-like’ properties and ligand efficiencies
Physicochemical descriptors commonly used to define ‘drug-likeness’, and ligand efficiency measures, are assessed for their ability to differentiate marketed drugs from compounds reported to bind to their efficacious target or targets.

Dose-finding studies in drug development for rare genetic diseases
Background The small patient populations inherent to rare genetic diseases present many challenges to the traditional drug development paradigm. One major challenge is generating sufficient data in early phase studies to inform dose selection for later ...
