A promising new avenue for non-opiod pain management fm CCII's Hagiwara group, using dexmedetomidine (a ฮฑ2-adrenergic receptor agonist) without cardiovascular side effects in mice & NHPs. An oral tablet formulation of the candidate drug is currently in phase I/II trials.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!
We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.
Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! ๐งช๐๐ฆ
