Resistant E. coli rises despite drop in ciprofloxacin use
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828223807.htm
After a nearly threefold drop in prescriptions for the antibiotic ciprofloxacin between 2015 and 2021, the rates of ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli bacteria circulating in the community did not decline. In fact, a study of Seattle-area women over age 50 who had not taken any antibiotics for at least a year discovered that the incidence of gut-colonizing ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli actually increased. About 1 in 5 women in the study were affected. The results are consistent with theoretical models indicating that, once a drug-resistant form of E.coli emerges, it will continue to spread by taking up long-term residence in individuals' gut microbiomes. Antibiotic resistant E. coli in the gut is of concern because the bacteria can enter the urinary tract and cause difficult-to-treat infections, particularly in women. Evidence from studies such as this one may be changing paradigms on how to fight the rise in antibiotic resistance.

Drug to target form of previously untreatable life-threatening 'bad cholesterol'
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828105543.htm
New research details the first oral drug for the treatment of a type of high cholesterol -- called Lp(a) -- that is a potentially more dangerous version of the so called 'bad' cholesterol, LDL, because it is stickier and may be more likely to cause blockages and blood clots in your arteries. It is estimated that up to 20% of people worldwide have high levels of Lp(a), which is associated with a person's risk of experiencing a heart attack, strokes or other serious cardiac event. Importantly Lp(a) can be present even in younger adults and otherwise healthy people with no other known cardiovascular risks -- and often remains undetected until a cardiac event has occurred.

A new DNA drug to fight blood clots
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230821114401.htm
Various medical circumstances, including heart attacks and extreme cases of COVID-19, necessitate the use of anticoagulants, medicines that prevent blood clots. But the most commonly used, heparin, can induce potentially fatal side effects by making the blood clots worse rather than better. This only happens in a minority of patients so effective treatments are not commonly explored. Researchers have now proposed a side effect-free anticoagulating treatment that has so far proved effective in test mice and could be ready for human trials in just a few years.

Anti-obesity drug improves associative learning in people with obesity
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230817163920.htm
Obesity leads to altered energy metabolism and reduced insulin sensitivity of cells. The so-called 'anti-obesity drugs' are increasingly used to treat obesity and have caused tremendous interest, especially in the USA. Researchers have now shown in people with obesity that reduced insulin sensitivity affects learning of sensory associations. A single dose of the anti-obesity drug liraglutide was able to normalize these changes and restore the underlying brain circuit function.

Continuous-flow manufacturing of essential antibiotic cefazolin: Flexible production while reducing costs
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230806211625.htm
The antibiotic cefazolin is an essential drug according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It is usually produced via batch manufacturing, but this multistep process is time-consuming, wasteful and requires very specialized facilities. Now, researchers have manufactured cefazolin using the continuous-flow method. This method is cheaper, quicker, less wasteful and more flexible in terms of how much drug can be produced when it's needed. Improving access to cefazolin is vital for global health and particularly relevant for countries such as Japan, which experienced a shortage in 2019.

New study sheds light on the gating mechanism of ion channels
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230801105021.htm
Ion channels play a crucial role in many cellular processes, including neuronal communication, muscle contraction or cell proliferation. Most multi subunit ion channels exist in two functional states, either closed or open. During gating, one should expect that all subunits undergo conformational changes. The absence of intermediate conduction levels is surprising and asks for an explanation. A team of researchers has created a smart model system to answer this important question.

New drug delivery method can reverse senescence of stem cells
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230627191524.htm
As we age, our bodies change and degenerate over time in a process called senescence. Stem cells, which have the unique ability to change into other cell types, also experience senescence, which presents an issue when trying to maintain cell cultures for therapeutic use. The biomolecules produced by these cell cultures are important for various medicines and treatments, but once the cells enter a senescent state they stop producing them, and worse, they instead produce biomolecules antagonistic to these therapeutics. In a recently published study, researchers describe a new method for reversing senescence in stem cells through delivering antioxidants in the form of a crystal.

The results of a new clinical trial suggest that the first drug therapy to slow the progression of nearsightedness in kids could be on the horizon. The three-year study found that a daily drop in each eye of a low dose of atropine, a drug used to dilate pupils, was better than a placebo at limiting eyeglass prescription changes and inhibiting elongation of the eye in nearsighted children aged 6 to 10.

To boost cancer immunotherapy's fighting power, look to the gut
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230503121257.htm
Immunotherapy has redefined cancer treatment, but not all patients experience the same benefit when treated. New research in mice identifies how gut bacteria alter the body's response to a common form of cancer immunotherapy. The animals' gut microbiota lowered the expression of two immune molecules, one previously unknown to play a role in cancer. • Using antibodies to block the activity of either molecule, or the interplay between them, enhanced response to cancer immunotherapy. • The findings can inform the design of treatments that boost the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy among patients with suboptimal response.

New test reveals existing antibiotics, hiding in plain sight on pharmacy shelves, can treat superbugs
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/04/230427173549.htm
A new test revealed that FDA-approved antibiotics -- available at your neighborhood pharmacy -- can effectively treat superbugs. They are not prescribed, however, because the gold-standard test predicts they will not work. The new test may improve the way antibiotics are developed, tested and prescribed -- and it is openly available to all.
