Pharma researchers Uwe Grether and Julie Blaising from F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. highlight the vast therapeutic potential of MAGL inhibition for central and peripheral diseases.
Prioritising brain health in Europe and beyond
With the growing burden of brain disorders, it is more important than ever to ensure the necessary approaches are available; the European Brain Council discusses the priorities for supporting brain health and research in Europe and beyond.
The mechanisms and benefits of exercise
At Wayne State University, Robert Wessells and his team are making significant strides in identifying potential exercise mediators or mimetics that could help mitigate pathologies resulting from prolonged sedentary periods.
Senescence: Examining genetic responses, exercise benefits and age-related decline
Robert Wessells’ lab at Wayne State University has been focusing on the field of functional senescence, particularly age-related decline in mobility and exercise capacity
The capacity of the elderly population to retain mobility is a substantial quality of life issue and an important way of avoiding health complications from inactivity...
Targeting the Cannabinoid Type-2 Receptor for Novel Anto-inflammatory Therapeutics
Type-2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and an essential element of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) [1].
PFAS: The “New” Forever Chemicals
The term “forever chemicals” has become part of the lexicon in lay science. This reflects the growing evidence that exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of synthetic chemicals widely detected in our natural environment, our foods, and our bodies, is associated with adverse human health effects and harm...
Beyond amyloid: What’s next for Alzheimers disease therapeutics?
Bradlee Heckmann, PhD, from USF Health Neuroscience Institute, Byrd Alzheimer’s Center & Asha Therapeutics, in this discussion goes beyond amyloid, asking what’s next for Alzheimer’s Disease therapeutics.
Visualizing the anti-inflammatory cannabinoid Type-2 receptor
Medicinal chemists describe how small molecule probes allow for the detection of CB2R, and thereby enable the discovery of novel anti-inflammatory treatments.
