Nitrogen mustard (NM) is a cytotoxic vesicant known that causes pulmonary injury that can progress to fibrosis. NM toxicity is associated with an influx of inflammatory macrophages in the lung. Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor involved in bile acid and lipid homeostasis that has anti-inflammatory activity. In these studies, we analyzed the effects of FXR activation on lung injury, oxidative stress and fibrosis induced by NM.

Fifty-three percent of the world's largest freshwater lakes are in decline, storing less water than they did three decades ago, according to a new study. The study analyzed satellite observations dating back decades to measure changes in water levels in nearly 2,000 of the world's biggest lakes and reservoirs. It found that climate change, human consumption and sedimentation are responsible.

Results of the Multicenter Study of Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Anaemia published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2003, indicated that the use of hydroxyurea, the only drug approved at the time, reduced mortality as it reduced pain crises and increased foetal haemoglobin. Foetal haemoglobin (HbF) is the predominant type of haemoglobin (Hb) in foetal life and remains so until just before birth when its production is turned down while the production of adult Hb is turned up

Evolution is a sequence of design changes happening on their own in a discernible direction; it never weds itself to a single point on a drawing board. An evolving system or animal is free to simply go with what works. Not so much that its performance suffers greatly, but enough that it opens access to other options near the so-called optimal design.

Firefighting is a demanding profession that presents many risks from acute injuries on the fireground to long-term illness, like cancer. Firefighters can encounter cancer-causing chemicals by breathing them in, getting them on their skin or in their eyes, or by ingesting them. Exposure to these chemicals can occur while being near burning materials, from wearing turnout gear that is not properly cleaned or stored, and from residual contaminants in areas where firefighters work and live.

Before a drug obtains market approval, it must go through a series of pre-clinical and clinical studies which ensure that the compound is safe and effective. These studies consist of several sequential steps that fall under the denomination of Drug Discovery and Development processes. At the very beginning of the Drug Discovery process , the aim is to sort out the main candidates to take forward out of many chemical compounds found in large libraries.
