AI Discovers Potential Drug for Malaria and Osteoporosis

Reversing osteoporosis could greatly improve quality of life for millionsDepositphotos In what is becoming increasingly routine in pharmaceutical research, researchers have harnessed an artificial intelligence algorithm to pinpoint a compound, currently utilized in the treatment of malaria, that exhibits the capability to effectively counteract bone degeneration associated with osteoporosis. The compound, dihydroartemisinin (DHA), is sourced from...

The way Diabetes Hinders the Healing Process in the Eye

Credit: Pixaobay Researchers have presented fresh insights into the mechanism by which diabetes affects the healing of eye wounds. For the first time, they have identified two related disease-associated changes to the cornea. Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have gained fresh insights into how diabetes hampers wound healing in the eye. For the first time, they have identified...
