Researchers have launched HTGAnalyzer, a new, easy-to-use, fast and reproducible bioinformatics tool for advanced transcriptomic data analysis. Designed within the R statistical environment, this package simplifies complex analytical processes.

Heavy use of copper leads to the evolution of resistant bacteria that can also resist antibiotic drugs. Fortunately, when the use of copper is stopped, bacteria quickly revert to a less-resistant state.

A new platform developed at Scripps Research enables fast, scalable protein evolution, opening the door to new therapies and diagnostics, and to predicting resistance mutations across many disease areas.

A study describes the treatment potential of the novel compound known as CMX410. The drug uniquely targets a crucial enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis.

A study led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine shows that mosquitoes are killed when they feed on blood and then land on a surface sprayed with nitisinone, a drug currently used to treat a rare genetic condition in humans.

Researchers have found an important “switch” regulating autophagy, which could lead to ways to treat dementia, ALS and cancer.

A study examined differences in cannabis dependence and reasons for using among individuals who regularly use marijuana and psilocybin versus marijuana-only users. The study found that co-use may increase cannabis dependence.

Salk Institute scientists are looking for a new treatment strategy in microproteins, an understudied class of molecules found throughout the body that play roles in both health and disease.

A Northwestern study found that the asthma drug zileuton prevents food allergy anaphylaxis in mice by blocking allergen absorption in the gut. The research reveals a new mechanism driving allergic reactions and could lead to repurposing zileuton.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have identified a promising nonpharmaceutical treatment that rejuvenates aging brain cells and clears away the buildup of harmful proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
