Did you know that scientists are constantly hunting for new ways to fight cancer? One of their latest discoveries involves a group of special chemicals called 1, 3-disubstituted benzimidazolium salts. These aren't just any chemicals—they were crafted in a lab with the sole purpose of attacking cance
Ever wondered why some tiny peptides can pack a big punch when it comes to treating diseases? These little protein chunks could be the next big thing in medicine. But finding the right ones isn't easy. Scientists have a tough time predicting how peptides will interact with proteins in our bodies. Th
Did you know that plants might hold the key to battling cancer? Inside our bodies, there's a protein called cyclin-dependent kinase 13, or CDK13. It's part of a bigger family of proteins that help with important tasks like making RNA and controlling how genes are used. But sometimes, CDK13 can cause
Imagine a puzzle where you need to find all the pieces that make up a drug called pioglitazone (PIO). Scientists usually have a tough time figuring out these pieces, called metabolites. They tried a new trick to make it easier. Instead of using just one dose of PIO, they mixed two different kinds to
Eli Lilly will spend $4.5 billion to build a center aimed at finding better ways to manufacture its medicines. The facility, called the Lilly Medicine Foundry, will house development of new manufacturing methods with an eye toward efficiency. It's a strategy that's already paying off with Lilly's ob
