Anti-inflammatory drug could help people with PTSD forget traumatic events
by University College London Accelerated reduction in intrusive memories following hydrocortisone. Main panel: predicted mean (95% CIs) number of intrusions on days 1–7 in the placebo (blue bars) and hydrocortisone (red bars) groups. Significant sequential reductions between days for each drug (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.0001) are indicated. Inset: ratio of hydrocortisone intrusion counts relative to placebo,...

‘Smart’ cartilage cells programmed to release drugs when stressed
by Washington University School of Medicine Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have engineered cartilage cells to release an anti-inflammatory drug in response to stresses such cells undergo when they are compressed during weight bearing and movement. Here, the cell, called a chondrocyte, is stimulated with a very small glass pipette, about 1/5...
