Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) continues to expand its unique drug synthesis capabilities and expertise to advance the scaled-up production of safer antidotes to combat exposure to organophosphate nerve agents (OPNAs) and pesticides.Unlike existing manufacturing processes, SwRI’s new approach avoids carcinogenic compounds in the synthesis of HI-6, Obidoxime, and HLö 7 oxime antidotes. This makes for safer antidotes and supports the kilogram-scale production needed to maintain the domestic supply of OPNA antidotes for the United States military. End-to-end antidote production in the US also reduces the risk of supply chain disruptions and other stresses that could arise during times of international…

With Brown University Amid national debates about the importance of abortion access to maternal health, the aim of the study was to estimate risks using updated data to provide accurate information that could aid decision-making by patients, clinicians and policy makers. “It’s widely understood by scientists that continuing a pregnancy carries a much higher risk of death than abortion,” says study lead author Maria Steenland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. “Our new analysis shows that it is much riskier to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality…
Considering our skin is the first thing people see about us, it’s no surprise that we put so much thought and effort into this largest organ. It can also be the first place ill health appears. But despite all this, we often treat our skin health as if it is secondary or with short-term solutions. Or, perhaps worse, we spend a ton of money on skin products that don’t address the underlying issues. In fact, nutrition offers so many answers to helping our skin look its best, and understanding the role of nutrients and vitamins in skin health allows us…

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have perfected a technology to edit single genetic “base pairs” to a new level of precision, opening the door to safer, more reliable treatments for a wide range of genetic diseases and to potential treatments for some cystic fibrosis patients that may yield better results than existing treatments. Unlike infectious diseases, many of which respond to the same treatments—such as antibiotics that kill many types of bacteria—genetic diseases often require highly specific treatments, which can vary from patient to patient, even for the same disease. “More than a thousand different genetic…

New research reveals how hypoxia-driven red blood cell adaptations can reshape glucose regulation, offering new insights into diabetes biology and potential therapeutic strategies. Study: Red blood cells serve as primary glucose sinks to improve glucose tolerance at altitude. Image credit: nobeastsofierce / Shutterstock In a recent study published in the journal Cellular Metabolismresearchers investigated whether red blood cells (RBCs) functions as a primary glucose sink under hypoxic conditions and thereby improves systemic glucose tolerance. High altitude hypoxia and improved glucose control Epidemiological observations show that populations living above 3,500 meters have lower rates of diabetes compared to those at sea…
