- Cannabis-like synthetic compound delivers pain relief without addictive high. Experiments on mice show it binds to pain-sensing cells like natural cannabis and delivers similar pain relief but does not cross blood-brain barrier, eliminating mind-altering side effects that make cannabis addictive. https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2025/03/05/compound-cannabis-pain-relieving-properties-side-effects/9361741018702/ 1746 comments science
- A major hurdle is the lengthy blood culture procedure. An ultra-rapid AST method bypasses this, reducing drug susceptibility reporting by 40-60 hours. Using a synthetic beta-2-glycoprotein I peptide, pathogens are recovered from blood for species ID or AST. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07725-1#citeas 2 comments science

- Lab-grown meat is a promising alternative to traditional meat production, but it still relies on Fetal Bovine Serum, which is derived from the blood of cow fetuses. Potential solutions to this include using magnets to turn stem cells into tissue, gene-editing, and developing synthetic alternatives. https://year2049.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-lab-grown-meat 28 comments futurology
