🔬 Fentanyl Redesigned: Scientists Crack the Code on Safer Pain Relief
from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd
Researchers at Scripps Research have achieved the unprecedented—redesigning fentanyl at the molecular level to preserve pain relief while dramatically reducing fatal respiratory depression and addiction potential. Also covered: a patient who survived 48 hours without lungs using artificial life support, evidence that early Earth microbes were breathing oxygen hundreds of millions of years before the Great Oxidation Event, and a CRISPR tool that reverses antibiotic resistance in superbugs. Plus, a 125-million-year-old dinosaur with never-before-seen hollow spikes, breakthrough silicon photonics, and engineered stem cells that mass-produce cancer-fighting immune cells.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
