The results of the largest UK clinical trial of its kind, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and published today (14 July) in the Lancet Primary Care, showed that almost nine in ten (88%) patients with a penicillin allergy label were not truly allergic after allergy testing, and had their allergy label safely removed. More than 800 patients were included in the trial.

A study conducted by Martin SAMPHIRE and colleagues at Bangor University in the UK addresses this question through a three-year field trial. The article was recently published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025608).

Researchers identified key genes in Streptomyces cinnamonensis to enhance monensin production, a widely used antibiotic. By enhancing fatty acid degradation genes, yields rose 10%–22%. Tandem overexpression of these genes in engineered strain achieved record yields, which is of a big industrial promise.

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team has developed a protein aggregation inhibitor that shows improved treatment results for mice with acute strokes. 

Scientists at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have discovered a surprisingly simple explanation for how our bodies stay so well-organized, even as billions of cells are replaced daily. In a new study, they identified just five basic rules—like when and how cells divide and die—that seem to guide how tissues like the colon maintain their structure over time. Using computer simulations, the team showed how these rules work together like choreography to keep tissues healthy and functioning. This breakthrough, which researchers call a potential “tissue code,” could help explain how our bodies heal, how diseases like cancer form, and even support global efforts like the Human Cell Atlas. It’s a powerful example of how math and medicine can come together to reveal the hidden instructions that keep us alive and well.

New survey data from the Orlando Health Spine Center reveals a significant difference among Americans on how to manage neck and back pain.
