Scientists develop a new non-opioid pain killer with fewer side effects
Scientists have found a promising new compound, benzyloxy-cyclopentyladenosine (BnOCPA), which has been shown to be a potent and selective pain killer in test model systems . BnOCPA is also selective in its action, and non-addictive, opening up the potential for the development of potent analgesics without side effects.

New insights into how cyanobacteria regulate zinc uptake in the open ocean
An interdisciplinary research team including four members from the University of Warwick has identified a remarkably efficient regulatory network that controls zinc accumulation in the open ocean cyanobacterium Synechococcus. The discovery is set out in a paper published today in Nature Chemical Biology.
