Managing complex medication schedules could soon become as simple as taking a single capsule each day. UC San Diego engineers have developed a capsule that can be packed with multiple medications and release them at designated times throughout the day.
Scientific research may seem abstract, but when supported by federal funding, it profoundly impacts every American — from quiet rural fields buzzing with pollinators to hospitals pioneering lifesaving cancer therapies.
Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to encourage tissue repair and promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack.
How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is processed in our brain’s circuitry, offering insights for neurological disorders and brain-like AI systems.
Researchers have developed a new drug closely related to LSD that harnesses the psychedelic’s therapeutic power with reduced hallucinogenic potential. The research highlights the new drug’s potential as a safer and more effective treatment option for conditions like schizophrenia.
With no approved therapies for spinal cord injuries, scientists are looking into the body’s healing mechanisms for clues on recovery. Researchers found that a gene named RYK inhibits wound healing, offering hope for new treatments for paralysis after spinal cord injury.
