Explosive Sports Show Superior Bone-Building Efficacy Over Traditional Exercise

High-impact, multi-directional sports may offer a significantly superior osteogenic stimulus compared to conventional weight-bearing or resistance exercises, potentially improving osteoporosis prevention strategies. Current clinical guidelines for maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis frequently recommend weight-bearing activities such as walking, jogging, and progressive resistance training.

New Review Finds Weak Evidence for Medical Cannabis as a Sleep Aid

Despite growing interest, robust clinical evidence for medical cannabis improving sleep remains largely absent. This doesn't definitively rule out cannabis as a sleep aid but highlights the urgent need for rigorous clinical trials before widespread recommendation.

The expansion of kinase drug discovery: new targets, platforms and indications

We also examine the features associated with successful kinase-targeting agents and causes of agent discontinuations and regulatory withdrawal. Nevertheless, development remains highly concentrated around a small set of blockbuster kinase targets, such as EGFR.

Histone lysine demethylases in the third decade: biology and therapeutic prospects

We highlight the need for more potent and selective KDM inhibitors, biomarkers of therapeutic response, novel combinatorial treatments and innovative drug discovery strategies. As we enter the third decade of investigations into histone demethylation, unlocking the full therapeutic potential of inhibiting KDMs will require a deeper understanding of their biology, substrate specificity, interaction networks and regulatory crosstalk.
