Abstract:
Traditionally, drug delivery has meant getting a simple chemical absorbed predictably from the gut or from the site of injection. A second-generation drug delivery goal has been the perfection of continuous constant rate (zero-order) delivery of simple xenobiotic molecules or common hormones. Living organisms are not 'zero-order' in their requirement for or response to drugs. They are predictable resonating dynamic systems, which require different amounts of drug at predictably different times within the circadian cycle in order to maximize desired and minimize undesired drug effects.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
