Boyd's Pharmacy in Florence has a prescription for business success

Posted: Published on May 3rd, 2013

FLORENCE For three generations, Boyds Pharmacy has been dispensing pills and reassurance to area residents and their families. Its roots go deep. Our customers are very loyal. Some are from families that were customers in 1922, said L. Clark Boyd III, a pharmacist and scion of the family business. That was the year his grandfather opened the first Boyds on Front Street, not far from its present location, where they moved in 1953. In 2008, a total renovation and facelift brought it up to date and, today, it is the main store and the business headquarters of the five-pharmacy enterprise. Over time, the landscape of the pharmaceutical world has been rocked by change, especially for small, family-owned operations like Boyds. Even more than the competition from large, national chains, the exploding mail order business is a source of frustration. When it comes to CVS and Walgreens, I call it friendly competition, Boyd said. The mail order business is another story. They are stealing patients, he said. We have lost half our patients to mail order. I am penalized. To meet the challenges, the pharmacist is innovating, streamlining and offering new services once unheard of in a neighborhood drugstore. A clinic, … Continue reading →

Scientists Decode "Molecular Chatter" That Makes Cancer Cells Spread

Posted: Published on May 2nd, 2013

Featured Article Academic Journal Main Category: Cancer / Oncology Also Included In: Stem Cell Research;Biology / Biochemistry Article Date: 02 May 2013 - 0:00 PDT Current ratings for: Scientists Decode "Molecular Chatter" That Makes Cancer Cells Spread 4.5 (2 votes) 4 (2 votes) Principal investigator Russell Taichman, a professor at the University of Michigan (U-M) School of Dentistry in Ann Arbor, and colleagues, write about their discovery in the 30 April online issue of Nature Communications. It is becoming increasingly clear that cancer cells are wily, well-travelled adversaries that are capable of side-stepping the treatments we throw at them to try and stop them spreading. For instance, a recent study that produced a catalogue of the physical properties of cancer cells, found they are nimbler and more aggressive than healthy cells because they are better able to pass through small spaces, and they exert a greater force on their environment. Now Taichman and colleagues have discovered a set of molecular signals that causes them to go into overdrive and spread. For some time, scientists have known that tumors summon the body's healing cells, and this is a major reason cancer is difficult to treat. Think of a cancerous tumor as … Continue reading →
