Britain’s fish are swimming in a cocktail of pharmaceuticals, experts warn 💊 The drugs are not required to be removed from wastewater and research suggests they are damaging wildlife and risk creating drug-resistant superbugs CapurrodDaniel reports:
and research suggests that they are damaging wildlife and risk creating drug-resistant superbugs.
The presence of antibiotics in rivers was concerning, Professor Alistair Boxall, who conducted the University of York study, toldAn investigation last year found thatand drug residues linked to pollution from livestock farms. It’s difficult for researchers to be certain of the effects of various drugs on wildlife because most studies are lab based and replicating them in the wild was difficult because of problems isolating the impact of any one pollutant.
Further uncertainty is created by the fact that drugs and chemicals break down into their constituent parts in the environment. This can lead to novel and potentially harmful combinations.wider impact on the river ecosystem“[Invertebrates] are really important for ecosystem functions. Ironically, cleaning up water is one of those things, breaking down kind of detritus and ensuring good water quality,” said David Smith of Bug Life.

Discovery of Targets for Immune–Metabolic Antitumor Drugs Identifies Estrogen-Related Receptor AlphaAbstractDrugs that kill tumors through multiple mechanisms have the potential for broad clinical benefits. Here, we first developed an in silico multiomics approach (BipotentR) to find cancer cell–specific regulators that simultaneously modulate tumor immunity and another oncogenic pathway and then used it to identify 38 candidate immune–metabolic regulators. We show the tumor activities of these regulators stratify patients with melanoma by their response to anti–PD-1 using machine learning and deep neural approaches, which improve the predictive power of current biomarkers. The topmost identified regulator, ESRRA, is activated in immunotherapy-resistant tumors. Its inhibition killed tumors by suppressing energy metabolism and activating two immune mechanisms: (i) cytokine induction, causing proinflammatory macrophage polarization, and (ii) antigen-presentation stimulation, recruiting CD8+ T cells into tumors. We also demonstrate a wide utility of BipotentR by applying it to angiogenesis and growth suppressor evasion pathways. BipotentR (http://bipotentr.dfci.harvard.edu/) provides a resource for evaluating patient response and discovering drug targets that act simultaneously through multiple mechanisms.Significance:. BipotentR presents resources for evaluating patient response and identifying targets for drugs that can kill tumors through multiple mechanisms concurrently. Inhibition of the topmost candidate target killed tumors by suppressing energy metabolism and effects on two immune mechanisms.
