Innovative malaria prodrug targets liver, enhances efficacy while reducing toxicity, preclinical studies show

With malaria still posing a constant and often deadly threat to billions worldwide, new therapies are urgently required to combat the infection. This is made more difficult by the multiple stages of the parasite’s lifecycle. A new report in Scientific Advances reports on tafenoquine, a prodrug that could fulfill the criteria for a mass eradication […]

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization uncovers link between plasma metabolites and heart attack risk

Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers called plasma metabolites may play a key role in the physiological pathways involved in myocardial infarctions. Recently published research used a methodological approach called bidirectional Mendelian randomization to understand more about these biomarkers and what they can tell […]

Gut-friendly psychobiotics could brighten moods and fight depression

In a recent review published in the journal Nutrients, researchers investigated the psychobiotic treatment of depression by restoring microbial balance and regulating the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Depression is a global health concern that causes pain, lost productivity, higher healthcare expenditures, and a high risk of suicide. Dysbiosis, a disruption in gut microbiome homeostasis, can affect […]

Researchers reveal a connection between cellular metabolism and depression, suicidal ideation

Major depressive disorder affects 16.1 million adults in the United States and costs $210 billion annually. While the primary symptoms of depression are psychological, scientists and doctors have come to understand that depression is a complex disease with physical effects throughout the body. For example, measuring markers of cellular metabolism has become an important approach […]
