Capturing transporter structure paves the way for drug development
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center studied the structure and function of a transporter involved in cancer and immunity. They captured six structures of the transporter, including when it was bound to an inhibitor, providing unprecedented insight into how it works. The findings, published in Cell, have implications for drug development. (Source: World Pharma News)

The Pandemic Didn ’ t Really Change How Americans Think About Sickness
Thomas McDade, a biological anthropologist at Northwestern University, still remembers an advertisement for cold medicine he saw in late 2019. The ad showed a visibly sick businessman walking through an airport, “and the message was, ‘You can solider through this. You can make it,'” McDade says.
That message didn’t age well. Only a few months later, the virus that causes COVID-19 began spreading across the globe, prompting health officials to beg people to stay home no matter what—but especially if they felt sick. Suddenly, soldiering through an illness wasn’t seen as admirable, but irre...

Mountain gorillas bounce back from rough childhoods better than many humans and other primates
In 1978, at the tender age of 4, a mountain gorilla named Titus living in East Africa’s Virunga Mountains experienced a series of unthinkable tragedies. His father and brother were killed by poachers, and as his tribe reshuffled and males fought for dominance, another gorilla killed his younger sister. His mother and older sister fled the dangerous situation, leaving him to fend for himself in a new social order. Research on other primates, including humans, suggests individuals who go through so much adversity so young tend to lead shorter lives. But not Titus. He forged new bonds with what was left of his troop and eve...

Over-The-Counter Narcan is a Great First Step, But There ’ s Still Work to Be Done
The opioid overdose epidemic, which caused 80,000 deaths in 2021, can often seem like an unrelenting tragedy, but on Wednesday, there was cause to celebrate. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it has approved Narcan, a nasal-spray form of the opioid-overdose-reversing drug naloxone, without a prescription over-the-counter. This is a major win, because Narcan works as first aid, and must typically be administered by someone else to an overdosing person. Over-the-counter Narcan could mean that more people have the medicine on hand during the crucial minutes of an overdose.
At the same time, public health ex...
