Researchers at UC Davis plan to screen hundreds of compounds to discover nonhallucinogenic treatments for substance use disorders. The study aims to understand the basic mechanisms by which these compounds impact addiction and develop more effective treatments.
A new study suggests that supplementing a diet with Ascidiacea, also known as sea squirts, reverses some main signs of aging in animal models. The researchers found that plasmalogens, vital to body processes, decrease with age and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Recent studies published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis have found applications of nanotechnology in medicine, drug research, and environmental protection. Researchers developed nanodots made of carbon using natural polysaccharides from mushrooms to detect chromium, and created nanozymes that could be used to detect drug con...
Researchers discover novel compound AD732 with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, outperforming standard NSAIDs while causing minimal harm. The compound may be a safer alternative for treating pain and inflammation in difficult diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Researchers have discovered a protein called "shank" that acts as a biomarker for modifiable memories. This discovery may lead to the development of new treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by identifying factors that make memories susceptible to change.
Stephen Waxman, MD, PhD, of Yale University, received the Julius Axelrod Prize for his distinguished contributions to neuropharmacology and exemplary mentoring efforts. He is being recognized for his work on ion channels in nervous system disorders, including spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis.
Pietro De Camilli is awarded the Julius Axelrod Prize for his outstanding achievements in neuropharmacology and commitment to mentoring young scientists. His work has shed light on neurotransmitter release and membrane trafficking, with implications for understanding diseases of the nervous system.
