The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has transferred three indigenous healthcare technologies to leading Indian pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturers for further development, manufacturing, and commercialization. The initiative is aimed at accelerating affordable healthcare solutions while strengthening the country's self-reliance in medical innovation.

Cipla Limited has informed the stock exchanges that the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) conducted a routine current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) inspection at the manufacturing facility of its wholly owned subsidiary, InvaGen Pharmaceuticals Inc., located in Central Islip, Long Island, New York, USA.

A new survey has uncovered significant knowledge gaps among families with a history of type 1 diabetes (T1D), highlighting misconceptions that may delay early screening and diagnosis despite their increased risk of developing the disease.

The survey, titled "The Family Factor: A T1D Risk Awareness Survey," was conducted by global diabetes nonprofit Beyond Type 1 and commissioned by Sanofi. It focused on adults and caregivers with a first-degree family member living with type 1 diabetes.

An international research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has investigated a new peptide derived from cone snail venom which significantly reduced inflammation-induced pain in an animal model. Crucially, its effect takes hold immediately after subcutaneous injection, whereas previously known cone snail peptides must be administered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid.

Modern research on secondary metabolites from microbes, plants, and marine organisms has revealed a remarkable diversity of chemical structures and bioactivities with broad applications in biotechnology, agriculture, and medicine. Most natural products are composed of primary biogenic elements such as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.  

Applications are invited from eligible candidates for the position of Project Technical Support - III in an ICMR-funded Research Project entitled Development of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Kits against drug-resistant Salmonella Infections’
