A national survey has found huge variation in treatments for ADHD in the UK and researchers have warned that the current system is failing many young adults.

A study shows that bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa can directly sense chemical concentrations across their cell bodies with high precision. This ability, termed "spatial sensing," could lead to new ways of manipulating bacterial motility.

Researchers surveyed the gut microbiomes of nearly 2,000 people, discovering dozens of potential new antibiotics that may one day contribute to humanity’s defensive stockpile against drug-resistant bacteria.

New research shows a treatment plan based on novel combination of low doses of three anti-hypertensive drugs in a single pill was superior to a high-quality standard care treatment plan at lowering blood pressure.

Researchers have found a way to produce and test huge collections of molecules, known as DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DEL), using magnetic particles. The technology of DEL promises to find new active pharmaceutical ingredients.

A study investigating the effects of fasting and the ketogenic diet has revealed a new vulnerability of pancreatic tumors to a cancer drug currently in clinical trials.

A recent study found that ubrogepant, a CGRP receptor antagonist, is effective in treating migraines during the prodrome phase. In a phase 3 trial, 65% of patients reported minimal limitations after treatment with ubrogepant.

Researchers identified new antivirulence and antibacterial compounds from actinobacteria found in the Arctic Ocean. These findings highlight the potential of antivirulence compounds as alternative treatments for bacterial infections.

Morphine is a powerful painkiller that belongs to the group of opioids. Researchers have now discovered the neural processes behind how morphine relieves pain, which is valuable knowledge due to the drug's serious side effects.

Research reveals that overgrowth of methane-producing archaea in the gut is linked to severe constipation. The study suggests that identifying and treating intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) could lead to more effective, personalized treatments.
