Pharmacovigilance – News and Features

A new type of off-the-shelf cell-based immunotherapy shows promise for B-cell lymphomas, and could make make future cellular immunotherapies less expensive and more accessible.

A collaborative team has developed a new method to program molecular self-assembly predictably. Researchers created versatile materials like "Malteser molecules," which could serve as highly specific sensors or drug delivery agents.

A study by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research reveals that wind turbines in agricultural landscapes displace bats from water bodies by up to 63%. This avoidance hinders survival during dry summers when access to water is crucial.

A new tablet combining two drugs is safe and more effective in treating soil-transmitted worms.

A collaborative team has created inhalable mucoadhesive protein nanoparticles inspired by mussel adhesive properties. These biocompatible particles enable targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to the lung cancer microenvironment.

This article provides examples of how AI is helping to shape drug discovery, from drug design through to clinical trials.

A study by UGR and UPNA highlights early fasting (5 p.m.–9 a.m.) as a safe, effective method for weight loss and improved glucose regulation. Early fasting reduced subcutaneous abdominal fat and improved overnight glucose levels.

Researchers developed a computational model to optimize drug selection for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), tailoring treatment to individual patients. The model predicts responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, reducing resistance.

Salk researchers reveal PRIMER cells as central to plant immune defense, coordinating responses to pathogens in collaboration with neighboring "bystander" cells. Using advanced cell profiling, they uncovered the transcription factor GT-3a.

Carrots can enhance the body's ability to regulate blood sugar and positively influence the composition of gut bacteria, potentially helping with diabetes managment.
