Advances in Inhaled Technologies: Understanding the Therapeutic Challenge, Predicting Clinical Performance, and Designing the Optimal Inhaled Product
Inhaled medicines are designed mainly to provide safe and efficacious treatment of respiratory diseases, offering the potential advantages of targeted drug delivery such as reduced onset time and increased therapeutic ratio. However, as a flipside of targeted drug delivery, drug levels in the relevant effect compartment cannot be easily assessed.

The Value of a Conceptual Schema
This year represents the 60th anniversary of the publication of the famous paper by James Watson and Francis Crick proposing a structure for DNA. This podcast from Nature contains interviews with scientists who were actively involved in the race to work out the structure. Listen to the podcast. At approximately 7 minutes into the podcast, there is a remarkable description of Watson’s first look at the classic x-ray crystallography picture of DNA. Watson knew immediately what the picture represented because Crick had, two years previously, published a theoretical paper about what a helical diffraction pattern
would look like.
