Introduction to Antihistamines
Everybody knows what allergies are, but what causes them? What drugs do we have available to address them? As we learned in the immunology series, allergies are symptoms of an immune response to a perceived threat. Histamine is a molecule in the body that orchestrates many aspects of this

Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol)
Acetaminophen, more commonly known by brand names such as Tylenol, is not a true NSAID, as it does not have anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is commonly discussed alongside NSAIDs as it has similar antipyretic and analgesic properties. Although its mechanism of action is not well-

ALPHA Experiment at CERN cools antimatter using laser light for the first time
The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has succeeded in cooling down antihydrogen atoms – the simplest form of atomic antimatter – using laser light. The result opens the door to considerably more precise studies of the internal structure of antihydrogen and of how it behaves under the influenc
