Coke Cola Enema
A case study where Coca-Cola was shown to be effective as an enama to resolve fecaloma in a patient
Classic Coca-Cola acts as a mucolytic agent, a source of carbonic acid, and an effervescent solvent. It has traditionally been used to dissolve solid, indigestible masses of plant fiber that accumulate in the stomach, and some research has suggested that it could also dissolve fecalomas.
FDA approves Regeneron’s hearing loss gene therapy
https://www.npr.org/2026/04/22/nx-s1-5791478/gene-therapy-deafness-hearing
Otarmeni is the first FDA-approved gene therapy for patients with sensorineural hearing loss caused by OTOF (otoferlin) genetic mutations. OTOF is necessary for hair cells in the inner ear to transmit sound signals to the brain. As a one-time, surgically delivered intracochlear injection, it works by introducing a functional OTOF gene to enable sound signaling, often restoring significant hearing.
CART Cells Targeting CD19 – Case Study
CAR T treatment targeting CD-19 helped a woman achieve year-long remission from three severe autoimmune diseases that resisted nine prior therapies.
Advances in pancreatic and potentially other cancers by targeting Ras
and
Revolution Medicine’s Daraxonrasib was reported to have a mean increased overall survival of 6 months in a phase 3 pancreatic cancer study. Daraxonrasib acts as a glue that sticks Ras to another protein, cyclophilin A, which shuts off Ras’ ability to drive cell growth and division.

Catmint oil in the fight against avian influenza?
USDA is betting $2M on it
The oil contains nepetalactone, which exhibits antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Application is by fogging chicken houses.
Tick saliva protein vaccine
“When a blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) sinks its mouthparts into a person’s skin, it releases a variety of salivary proteins. Some of these proteins suppress the innate immune response that would otherwise try to get rid of the tick and any invading microorganisms it might be carrying” By developing a vaccine to these proteins, the inflammatory response may alert the host to the ticks presence and cause it to detach before transmission of infectious disease, such as lyme disease.
Migraine Treatment
New research shows CGRP-targeted therapies can help migraine sufferers
These medications block a protein that spikes during migraines, triggering pain
Hantavirus in Argentina

The Argentine Health Ministry has reported 101 hantavirus infections in the last year, roughly double that of the previous year. Climate change has been implacated as a posible contributing factor to rodent populations spreading to human inhabited áreas.
Vaccine development
