The process of discovering antimicrobials should speed up, thanks to the rapid sequencing of the genomes of disease-causing organisms. Among the latest conquests are the bacteria responsible for causing syphilis and leprosy. The genome of the parasite that causes malaria is also beginning to yield its secrets, including the...
In the past few months, it's become nearly impossible to buy Ketaset in New York City's underground drug market. Made by Fort Dodge, an Iowa-based pharmaceutical firm, Ketaset is a brand of ketamine, a compound that blocks certain neuroreceptors, causing hallucinations in high doses and, in lower...
Most of these drugs are genetically engineered biological molecules, and the majority are designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis and its close clinical relative, lupus. Like many other autoimmune diseases, both disorders strike women disproportionately. In RA, the immune system attacks the joints and eventually weakens the bones, causing excruciating pain...
With all those scary microbes out there, it's hard to get worked up over a toenail fungus or a case of athlete's foot. But the fungi that cause these and dozens of other infections are not as trivial as they may seem. Fungi have a way of turning...
It was the discovery of leptin in 1994 that got the genetic study of obesity rolling, and it was Friedman's research team that was responsible. Studying the genome of a rare strain of hugely obese mice, the investigators found that all of them shared a defect in a gene...
