Cops on ketamine? Largely unregulated mental health treatment faces hurdles

A few months ago, Waynesville Police Sgt. Paige Shell was about to give up hope of getting better. The daily drip of violence, death, and misery from almost 20 years in law enforcement had left a mark. Her sleep was poor, depression was a stubborn companion, and thoughts of suicide had taken root.

Scalable synthetic biology revolutionizes targeted therapy with logic-gate proteins

Targeted drug delivery is a powerful and promising area of medicine. Therapies that pinpoint the exact areas of the body where they're needed - and nowhere they're not - can reduce the medicine dosage and avoid potentially harmful "off target" effects elsewhere in the body.

Newborn genomic screening may detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions

Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome, which stays with them for life, could also be re-examined if a health issue arises during their lifetime.
