Researchers discovered that micro- and nanoplastic particles can remain in the tissues of newborn rats, having crossed the placental barrier during pregnancy. The study raises concerns about the potential health impacts of these pollutants.

Researchers have developed a technique using microbubbles and ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, enhancing drug delivery for brain diseases. This approach could provide new therapeutic options for conditions like brain cancer.

A small molecular tag added to a drug molecule can make drugs normally administered through an IV effective as oral pills.

The chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil has different mechanisms of action in different cancers, a new study has found.

Researchers have illustrated that synthetic cannabis can reduce agitation in Alzheimer's patients by an average of 30%.

Three patients are in “safe, deep remission” after receiving a CRISPR-Cas9-modified cell therapy for autoimmune disease treatment, according to a new published study in Cell.

A study reveals that proglucagon-derived peptides (PGDPs) significantly impact fat absorption and accumulation in the liver. Researchers found reduced fat absorption and lower triglyceride levels.

Psychiatric drugs are reported to be about 50% more effective in clinical trials funded by the drug’s manufacturer than when trials of the same drug are sponsored by other groups, new research shows.

Researchers found that metformin, a diabetes medication, may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Their studies suggest that metformin can improve retinal health and decrease the odds of developing advanced forms of AMD.

Researchers at Aarhus University developed LaKe, a molecule that induces metabolic responses similar to those achieved through strenuous exercise or fasting. LaKe raises lactate and ketone levels, potentially reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome.
