Varied and engaging as ever, the 2021 National Pavilions at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale tell a story of the current concerns of architecture and urbanism around the world. Spread across the Giardini park, the Arsenale grounds and several other locations in Venice, the national participations and responses to Hashim Sarkis’ seminal question ‘How Will We Live Together?’ are rich and multi-faceted. Topics range from challenges of the urban realm, technology, sustainability, migration and housing. Let the virtual tour begin!

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago are a step closer to discovering why it is so difficult for people to withdraw from some antidepressant medications.
The paper Antidepressants produce persistent Gαs associated signaling changes in lipid rafts following drug withdrawal, published in the journal
Molecular Pharmacology, addresses the molecular and cellular mechanisms that cause antidepressant withdrawal syndrome.
The study s authors, Mark Rasenick, distinguished professor of physiology and biophysics and psychiatry at UIC and research career scientist at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, and Nicholas Senese, a postdoctoral fellow at UIC, explained that current antidepressants can take approximately two months to take effect in patients who then continue taking these drugs for years. Weaning patients from these drugs can result in unpleasant symptoms that can range from flu-like feelings and persistent pain or itch to Parkinson s-like conditions that

There’s often a gulf between the way we imagine ourselves and the truth about who we are. This year’s American showcase at the Venice architecture biennial offers a reality check to United States’ bombastic self-image.
Ninety-one years ago, architects William Adams Delano and Chester Holmes Aldrich designed an American pavilion in Venice, a Palladian-style structure built with Istrian marble and pink brick. It has served as the permanent venue for US art and architecture exhibitions at the Venice biennial ever since. Delano’s and Aldrich’s notions of architectural beauty would be passed on for decades, down to former president Donald Trump’s ill-fated attempt to mandate that all new government buildings be designed in the classical style.
Theoretically, antibiotics can treat human diseases in addition to bacterial infections ANI | Updated: May 25, 2021 09:20 IST
Washington [US], May 25 (ANI): According to the findings of a study by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago, the antibiotics used to treat common bacterial infections, like pneumonia and sinusitis, may also be used to treat human diseases, like cancer. At least, theoretically.
As outlined in a new Nature Communications study, the UIC College of Pharmacy team has shown in laboratory experiments that eukaryotic ribosomes can be modified to respond to antibiotics in the same way that prokaryotic ribosomes do.
Fungi, plants, and animals like humans are eukaryotes; they are made up of cells that have a clearly defined nucleus. Bacteria, on the other hand, are prokaryotes. They are made up of cells, which do not have a nucleus and have different structures, sizes, and properties. The ribosomes of eukaryotic
