Deployment of the tear gas agent 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS) for riot control has significantly increased in recent years. The effects of CS have been believed to be transient and benign. However, CS induces severe pain, blepharospasm, lachrymation, airway obstruction, and skin blisters, and with frequent injuries and hospitalizations have been reported following exposure.

Nerve agents and organophosphates (OP) are neurotoxic chemicals that induce acute seizures, status epilepticus (SE), and mortality. Long-term neurological and neurodegenerative effects manifest months to years after OP exposure. Current benzodiazepine anticonvulsants are ineffective in preventing such long-term neurobehavioral and neuropathological changes.

Burn injuries including those caused by chemicals can result in systemic effects and acute lung injury (ALI). Cutaneous exposure to Lewisite, a warfare and chemical burn agent, also causes ALI. To overcome the limitations in conducting direct research on Lewisite-induced ALI in a laboratory setting, an animal model was developed using phenylarsine oxide (PAO) as a surrogate for lewisite.

After the bursting of the pandemic biotech bubble, talk of industry consolidation was ubiquitous. The sector had pushed out too many IPOs during the go-go years, leading to too many public biotech companies, with sub-scale enterprises, and wasteful crowding in lots of therapeutic categories. And too many inexperienced management teams leading those newly-minted public companies.

Melting of glaciers, rising sea levels, extreme heat waves: the consequences of climate change are more visible than ever, and the scientific community has confirmed that humans are responsible. Yet studies show that a third of the population still doubts or disputes these facts. The cause is disinformation spread by certain vested interests. To try and prevent this phenomenon, a team has developed and tested six psychological interventions on nearly 7,000 participants from twelve countries.
