Scientists at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, have uncovered the molecular mechanism behind Gram-negative bacteria’s resistance to the drug PC190723, revealing how intra-molecular interactions in proteins, such as salt bridges, prevent the drug from binding effectively.
Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbai, have recently elucidated the neurocircuit mechanism of DOI (2,5‑dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine), a serotonergic psychedelic known to reduce anxiety. Their findings pave the way for emerging clinical research and potential therapeutic interventions targeting mental distress caused by anxiety.
