Novel materials made with FDA-approved components could deliver large payloads of active ingredients. MIT chemical engineers have devised a new way to create very tiny droplets of one liquid suspended within another liquid, known as nanoemulsions. Such emulsions are similar to the mixture that forms when you shake an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing, but with much
As part of the Human Cell Atlas initiative, a collaborative community working to create reference maps of every human cell, researchers studied over 36,000 individual cells from the nasal area and three separate areas of the lung in samples taken from 17 people without asthma. Using single-cell transcriptomics, cell types were identified and located, and any
Source Nature Detailed analysis of misconduct investigations into huge research fraud suggests institutional probes aren’t rigorous enough. By day, Andrew Grey studies bone health. But over the past few years, he’s developed another speciality: the case of one of science’s most prolific fraudsters. From 1996 to 2013, Yoshihiro Sato, a Japanese bone-health researcher plagiarized work,
Research supported by the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) on Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (RA/SLE) provides new insights into tissue damage for these autoimmune conditions. Findings include the identification of novel molecular signatures related to immune system signaling in kidney cells that may reflect their active role in disease process; molecular targets, including specific white blood
Nutrigenomics — the nexus of nutrition, genetics and genomics — is still in its infancy, but USC researcher Cary Kreutzer sees vast potential in its ability to help people take control of their health. ne day, you may walk into your doctor’s office and come out with a diet that’s been personalized for your unique
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Emgality (galcanezumab-gnlm) solution for injection for the treatment of episodic cluster headache in adults. “Emgality provides patients with the first FDA-approved drug that reduces the frequency of attacks of episodic cluster headache, an extremely painful and often debilitating condition,” said Eric Bastings, M.D., deputy director of the
Michigan State University physicians have found that vitamin D, if taken for at least three years, could help cancer patients live longer. The findings suggest that the vitamin carries significant benefits other than just contributing to healthy bones and were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting on June 3, 2019. In
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Piqray (alpelisib) tablets to treat patients with breast cancer. Piqray is to be used in combination with the FDA-approved endocrine therapy, fulvestrant, to treat post-menopausal patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, PIK3CA-mutated, advanced or metastatic breast cancer (as detected by
In research published this week, scientists have found that a therapy originally developed to treat Alzheimer’s Disease could hold promise for children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. An international team of researchers at VIB-KU Leuven, Belgium, the UK Dementia Institute and Children’s Cancer Institute, Australia, have identified a novel therapy for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
