The regulations set forth by California's Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) state that beginning July 1, a licensed retailer may only sell cannabis goods that have met all state-mandated testing requirements.

Labs that receive a badge are not only recognized for their capabilities in comparison to their peers within a given series, but also for their commitment to good science in the cannabis industry.

To understand the biology of diseased organs researchers use different types of molecular data. One of the biggest computational challenges at the moment is integrating these multiple data types. A new computational method jointly analyses different types of molecular data and disentangles the sources of disease variability to guide personalized treatment.

PhoreMost, the UK-based biopharmaceutical company dedicated to drugging ‘undruggable’ disease targets, announced it has entered into a collaboration with o2h discovery (o2h), an Anglo-Indian medicinal chemistry company that has in-house capability to take drug discovery programmes to the IND filing stage.

New therapeutic approach may one day delay neurodegeneration typical of a disease called mucopolysaccharidoses IIIB (MPS IIIB)

A new blood test, which could be performed at a crime scene, could help determine the age of a suspect or victim within just an hour.

Scientists have produced pigs that can resist one of the world’s most costly animal diseases, by changing their genetic code. Tests with the virus – called Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, or PRRS – found the pigs do not become infected at all. The animals show no signs that the change in their DNA has had any other impact on their health or wellbeing.

The natural healing properties of CBD are being jeopardized by the advent of man-made synthetic CBDs.

Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering Professors Bob Tilton and Todd Przybycien recently co-authored a paper with Ph.D. students Brittany Nordmark and Toni Bechtel, and alumnus John Riley, further refining a process that could soon help provide clean water to many in water-scarce regions. The process, created by Tilton’s former student and co-author Stephanie Velegol, uses sand and plant materials readily available in many developing nations to create a cheap and effective water filtration medium, termed “f-sand.”

The research is focused on developing a drug that enables patients to benefit from the medicinal benefits of THC without experiencing its inherit psychoactive properties.
