Common plant fiber gel doubled rate of tumor eradication
Many people don't realize that the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi residing within the gastrointestinal tract-collectively called the gut microbiome- are connected to overall health, and specifically to cancer. Manipulating the gut microbiome to produce "beneficial" commensal microbes, which protect the host from pathogens and can boost immune responses, among other things, could potentially help patients respond better to cancer drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors, a type of immunotherapy.

High dose opioid prescription declines in Queensland - 21-year study
The number of people prescribed opioids in Queensland increased more than 11-fold in two decades, but most prescriptions were in a low-dose range, according to University of Queensland-led research. Dr Adeleke Adewumi, a UQ PhD graduate and Senior Pharmacist at Maryborough Hospital, said dosages of opioids within the state were most frequently on the lower end of the scale.

Scientists launch trial to test whether brain training could help people lose weight
Researchers at Cardiff University have launched a new app called "Restrain" to test whether it is possible to lose weight through a type of brain training involving simple games. The team from the University's Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) are calling for volunteers to take part in the trial, which will be the largest study of its kind.

Fetal alcohol exposure data underscore need for public health interventions
While alcohol consumption during pregnancy may result in harm to developing embryos and fetuses, a new study led by the Yale School of Public health finds that a significant number of pregnancies that result in live birth still involve alcohol exposure.

Over a £1 million in payments from pharma companies to All-Party Parliamentary Groups
New research published in PLOS One suggests there is a significant lack of transparency in corporate funding to APPGs. Last updated on Sunday 27 June 2021 Sixteen of the 146 health-related All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) in the Houses of Parliament (UK) received over a £1 million in payments from 35 pharmaceutical companies between 2012-2018 according to a new study.

Opinion: What we can learn about risk from the Covid experience
Humans don't perceive risk accurately, and it's important that we learn the right lessons about risk from the Covid-19 pandemic, says Professor Geoff Mulgan (UCL STEaPP).

Unusual coronavirus protein is potential drug target to fight COVID-19
The structure of the SARS-CoV-2 protein called 3a, as determined by cryoEM. UC Berkeley researchers produced the most detailed structure to date of the protein - an ion channel - which may be a good target for drugs to fight coronavirus infections. (UC Berkeley image courtesy of David Kern) The SARS-CoV-2 virus contains a gene that codes for a strange protein that could be a good target for drugs to fight COVID-19 and possibly other coronavirus infections, according to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley.
