Final approval clears the way for Zydus to market Glatiramer Acetate, expanding access to a key treatment for multiple sclerosis patients in the U.S.

University of East Anglia scientists have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before.

In recent years, the world has seen a surge in new and deadly infectious diseases, posing a major threat to global health. Outbreaks of COVID-19, H1N1 (swine flu), Ebola, Zika, and monkeypox are a stark reminder of our vulnerability.

Photoactivable drugs are activated when irradiated by a beam of light—via an optical fiber—thus generating a controlled and local therapeutic effect on target tissues. Now, a scientific team has pioneered a new breakthrough in the field of photopharmacology with the design of the first wireless device capable of remotely activating a photoactivable drug and causing it to have therapeutic effects on specific organs.

Scientists have engineered a monoclonal antibody that can protect mice from a lethal dose of influenza A, a new study shows. The new molecule combines the specificity of a mature flu fighter with the broad binding capacity of a more general immune system defender.

University of Cincinnati engineers have created a new device to help doctors diagnose depression and anxiety.

Their study yielded hundreds of “cryptic” peptides that are found only on pancreatic tumor cells and could be targeted by vaccines or engineered T cells.
