Breaking Research Could Help to Advance Care for Overdose Patients Who’ve Taken Xylazine
Association for Diagnostic and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM (formerly AACC))

A novel study published today in ADLM’s journal, Clinical Chemistry, has found that it takes the human body much longer than previously thought to clear xylazine — one of the most popular emerging drugs of abuse in the U.S. This much-needed insight into how the body processes xylazine could improve treatment of overdose patients who’ve taken it.

Bromoform Molecules Like to Rearrange Their Atoms
Department of Energy, Office of Science

For the first time, scientists can distinguish the proportion of bromoform molecules that directly break bonds (dissociate) vs. those that rearrange (isomerize). This is an important step toward understanding the formation of bromoform isomers, which had long been predicted but had not been fully experimentally confirmed.

Un avance hacia medicamentos y vacunas inhalables de ARNm
American Chemical Society (ACS)

A la mayoría de la gente no le gusta aplicarse vacunas o inyecciones para recibir tratamientos. Por eso, los investigadores trabajan para crear más medicamentos, como los que se fabrican a partir de ARN mensajero (ARNm), que puedan pulverizarse e inhalarse. Un estudio publicado en la revista Journal of the American Chemical Society informa sobre los avances para hacer posible los medicamentos de ARNm inhalables. Los investigadores indican que la nanopartícula de polímero lipídico, que es estable cuando se nebuliza y libera aerosoles (gotitas líquidas) en los pulmones de ratones de forma satisfactoria, se optimizó para contener el ARNm.

Un avance hacia rayos X más seguros gracias a la nueva tecnología de detectores
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Los rayos X son un componente habitual de las pruebas diagnósticas y el monitoreo industrial, y se utilizan para todo, desde el control de los dientes hasta el escaneo de maletas en el aeropuerto. Sin embargo, los rayos de elevada energía también producen radiación ionizante, que puede ser peligrosa tras exposiciones prolongadas o excesivas. Ahora, investigadores que publican en ACS Central Science han avanzado hacia rayos X más seguros con la creación de un detector altamente sensible y plegable que genera imágenes de buena calidad con dosis más pequeñas de estos rayos.

On the Origin of Life: How the First Cell Membranes Came to Exist
University of California San Diego

Few questions have captivated humankind more than the origin of life on Earth. How did the first living cells come to exist? How did these early protocells develop the structural membranes necessary for cells to thrive and assemble into complex organisms? New research from UC San Diego has uncovered a plausible explanation involving the reaction between two simple molecules.

Exhaled breath contains chemical clues to what’s going on inside the body, including diseases like lung cancer. And devising ways to sense these compounds could help doctors provide early diagnoses — and improve patients’ prospects. In a study in ACS Sensors, researchers report developing ultrasensitive, nanoscale sensors that in small-scale tests distinguished a key change in the chemistry of the breath of people with lung cancer. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
