An analysis of data from a randomized clinical trial for patients with stage 3 colon cancer found that those with PIK3CA mutations who took celecoxib, an anti-inflammatory drug, after surgery lived significantly longer and had longer disease-free survival compared to those without the mutation.
ISPOR announced the publication of a collection of papers that examine the long-standing debate surrounding the use of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and alternative measures in healthcare decision making.
Newly published research details the development of an easy-to-use intuitive tool that can predict without lengthy experimentation and calculation the reactivity of C-C bonds when designing mechanophores, which could lead to the discovery of new mechanically responsive materials.
Researchers have presented the latest findings from a clinical trial aimed at discovering a cure for sickle cell disease, a painful genetic blood disorder with limited treatment options.
A study finds naloxone prescriptions, given to prevent opioid overdoses, are less likely to be filled when cost-sharing is higher, including at the start of a new health insurance year.
Cole-Parmer, an Antylia Scientific company, is pleased to reintroduce peristaltic pumps to enhance its industry-leading line of fluid handling solutions.
Mysterious cells that secrete hormones in the large intestine play a key role in regulating body weight through their relationship with intestinal bacteria, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could lead to new treatments for obesity and extreme weight loss.
Alice Walker, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Wayne State University, received a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation to fund her research on applying computational chemistry to the understanding and rational design of new fluorescent protein (FP) sensors.
In a feat aimed at understanding how cells move and creating new ways to shuttle drugs through the body, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have built a minimal synthetic cell that follows an external chemical cue and demonstrates a governing principle of biology called “symmetry breaking.”
Americans' interest in a potentially harmful "magic mushroom" is soaring, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science.
By super cooling a molecule on the surface of brain cells down to about minus 180 degrees Celsius — nearly twice as cold as the coldest places in Antarctica — scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a widely-used epilepsy drug works to dampen the excitability of brain cells and help to control, although not cure, seizures.
Salvia miltiorrhiza, known as Danshen, is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. The medicinal properties of Danshen are primarily attributed to its two major bioactive compounds: tanshinones and phenolic acids.
Lonicera has about 200 species of plants, which have extensive economic benefits and can be used as medicinal materials, food, cosmetics and ornamental plants, etc.
A research team has provided a comprehensive overview of the applications of omics technologies in Rosaceae plants.
ScienceMedia announced today that it has formed a partnership with UL Solutions that offers ComplianceWire®, the industry leading learning management system (LMS) tailored toward compliance and qualification management within life sciences organizations.
Strong bitterness is the main reason why people all over the world, especially children, avoid taking their medicines, putting their health, and sometimes, their lives at risk. Now, a group of scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center identified the first temporary, universal taste blocker that works in people.
Statins and beta blockers are working their way into the aquatic ecosystem, according to West Virginia University researchers who have discovered evidence of the cardiovascular drugs in fish collected from two West Virginia rivers.
Almost a century ago, the discovery of antibiotics like penicillin revolutionized medicine by harnessing the natural bacteria-killing abilities of microbes. Today, a new study co-led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania suggests that natural-product antibiotic discovery is about to accelerate into a new era, powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
Two genes working in tandem play a critical role in shaping the identity and behavior of prostate cancer cells and their response to treatment, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.
