Researchers have identified several #metabolites in the blood whose levels are altered by coffee consumption. Levels of 3 of these coffee-related metabolites were significantly associated with individuals' risk of developing chronic #kidney disease.

A New York-based, multi-institutional research team has found high levels of three toxic metabolites produced by #gut bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma samples of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The important findings further #scientists.

A five year study that evaluated #diet and lifestyle data from more than 373,000 individuals from 10 European countries between the ages of 25 and 70 says consuming nuts can reduce weight gain.

In the wake of the novel coronavirus #pandemic, chemists have focused on searching for drugs to treat COVID-19. One group identified the antiviral drug remdesivir as a viable medicine to treat #COVID-19 in a research study published in late January.

The constant evolution of new COVID-19 variants makes it critical for clinicians to have multiple therapies in their arsenal for treating #drug-resistant #infections. Researchers have now discovered that a new class of oral drugs that acts directly on human cells.

A rigorous analysis of more than 3,000 #antimalarials purchased in Nigeria found 9.3 percent to be of poor quality, according to new research.

Locally sourced antibiotics can be as effective as 'internationally quality-assured' #antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Pakistan, and may help avoid delays in starting treatment while programs wait for #drugs to arrive from overseas.

Scientists have developed the world's largest virtual pharmacology platform and shown it is capable of identifying extremely powerful new drugs. The platform, soon to contain over a billion virtual #molecules.

Scientists have uncovered evidence that shows a more complex and elaborate role for the body's hard working G protein coupled receptors than previously thought, suggesting a conceptual advance in the fields of #biochemistry and pharmacology.

More efficient method devised to drug test athletes: It will now be easier, faster and cheaper to catch athletes who take performance enhancing drugs.

A rapid and highly sensitive #fingerprint test has been developed that can take just seconds to confirm whether someone has used cocaine.

A new trial has found a new genetic #therapy for Alzheimer's disease that is able to safely and successfully lower levels of the harmful tau protein known to cause the #disease.

Scientists have designed a new type of oral capsule that could mean pain-free delivery of insulin and other protein drugs. Protein #drugs had proven challenging to deliver orally as the drugs degrade very quickly in the #stomach until now.

Science based identification of mold and other causes of Sick Building #Syndrome may improve its management, say plant pathologists with The American Phytopathological Society (APS)

Scientists have identified a protein that allows the #fungus which causes white mold stem rot in more than 600 plant species to overcome #plant defenses.

The mechanism which allows #beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin, to kill MRSA has now been revealed.

New research has uncovered exactly how the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae has become resistant to the antibiotic penicillin. The same research could also open up MRSA to attack by #penicillin.

#Pharmacovigilance is vital for monitoring and assessing the safety of pharmaceutical #products. It involves detecting, understanding, and preventing adverse effects, ensuring the well-being of patients and public health.

#precision Medicine: The use of genetic information to tailor drug therapy to individual #patients, aiming for greater efficacy and fewer side effects.

#Immunotherapy in Cancer Treatment: The development and application of drugs that harness the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.
