Chemical reagents The chemical reagents used in the synthesis experiments include tyrosine (C9H11NO3, 99.0 wt%, Sigma-Aldrich), histidine (C6H9N3O2, 99.0 wt%, Fluka), ciprofloxacin HCl(C17H18FN3O3 ⋅ HCl ⋅ H2O, Merck), n-hexane (C6H14, 97.0 wt%, Honeywell) and distilled water. All chemicals were used without further purification. Sample preparation and data collection Single crystals of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride were obtained through vapour diffusion of EtOH/MeCN. These crystals were then directly suspended by …

Summary: Researchers have identified hyperactivity in the reticular thalamic nucleus as a driver of autism-like behaviors in mice. This brain region, which gates sensory information, was found to be overactive during stimuli and social interactions, leading to seizures, repetitive behaviors, and social withdrawal. By suppressing this activity with drugs, including one already under investigation for epilepsy, researchers were able to …

Admittedly, bracketology is typically something reserved for college basketball, but the advent of the 12-team College Football Playoff has made it a more relevant exercise on the gridiron. Sports Illustrated is taking bracket-making to the max in order to preview the 2025 season. We have eight different looks at the teams, players, coaches and potential matchups that could shape the …

An experimental “off-the-shelf” vaccine for recurring pancreatic and colorectal cancer is showing great promise so far. Early results show that the vaccine appears to be safe and is potentially prolonging people’s lives. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and elsewhere are developing the vaccine, called ELI-002. In Phase I …

“To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of.” – Ronald A. Fisher The modern biology toolbox is larger than ever, as a widening array of cutting-edge molecular techniques supplements the classic approaches that still drive the field forward. …

New HIV vaccines have shown promise in studies with lab animals and human volunteers, pointing to a potential way of preventing the lifelong viral disease. These experimental vaccines are built upon mRNA technology and several triggered potent immune responses in these early tests, while also causing few side effects. Scientists described the new vaccines in a pair of studies published …
