    Menopause. Suddenly, the topic is everywhere in the headlines, in our news feeds, on podcasts. Until recently, this normal life stage marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years was discussed only in certain circles, limiting knowledge and research. Occurring in middle-aged women, the transition can cause more than 4 out of 5 to suffer debilitating symptoms that can significantly affect their lives.

    Inhibiting menin, a protein that supports leukemia growth and is already targeted to treat some forms of leukemia, also holds promise for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms. A new study from scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital showed that inhibiting menin significantly extended survival and reversed multiple disease features in preclinical models. The findings were published today in Cancer Cell.

    For generations, early to bed and early to rise was seen as the blueprint for a healthy life, and any departure from it was often considered unhealthy. Scientists, however, have discovered that whether someone is an early bird who wakes up early and starts the day with energy or a night owl who naturally stays up late and wakes up later is far more than a lifestyle choice. This pattern reflects the body’s natural preference for the timing of sleep and wake cycles within a 24-hour day.

  • Scientists improve the analgesic efficacy of morphine

    Scientists at the Department of Cell Biology of the University of Malaga have taken a step forward in the search for more effective treatments for pain with a new study that advances efforts to mitigate the addictive effects of morphine—one of the main drugs used for this purpose—as well as the development of analgesic tolerance to the drug. Specifically, they identified that activation of a dopamine receptor, D4, enhances morphine’s analgesic effect and prevents the development of tolerance to morphine. The results of the study were published in The Journal of Pain.
