Recent trends in methamphetamine (METH) misuse and overdose suggest society is inadvertently overlooking a brewing METH crisis. In the past decade, psychostimulant-related lethal overdoses and hospitalizations have skyrocketed 127 and 245%, respectively. Unlike the opioid crisis, no pharmaceutical interventions are available for treating METH use disorder or reversing overdose. Herein, we report the first active vaccine that offers protection from lethal (+)-METH challenge in male Swiss Webster mice. This vaccine formulation of ()MLMH-TT adjuvanted with CpG ODN 1826 + alum successfully raised anti-METH antibodies in high titers, reduced (+)-METH distribution to the brain, and lowered (+)-METH-associated stereotypies in a hyperlocomotion assay. A comparison of enantiomeric haptens and the racemate elucidated the importance of employing ()-stereochemistry in METH hapten design for optimal protection.

Article Synopsis
- Methacrylate allergy, linked to allergic contact dermatitis, has become more prevalent, leading to the addition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate to the European Baseline Series of allergens.
- A study analyzing 3,828 patients showed that 396 were tested for various methacrylate allergens, with 38.6% testing positive for at least one, primarily 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
- The research indicated that including additional methacrylates, like hydroxypropyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, improved detection rates significantly, suggesting that broader testing could identify more cases of allergy.

We aimed to evaluate the effect of black soybean extract cream (BSEC) on 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced dermatitis in murine models mimicking inflammatory dermatitis observed in humans. In this DNCB-induced model, BALB/c mice were spread with 100 μL of 2% DNCB twice a week for two weeks to induce skin inflammation on the shaved back skin; then, a placebo or BSEC that consisted of the volatile fraction derived from the seeds of (L.) Merr.

Mycotoxins are widely prevalent in various agricultural commodities, whose excessive consumption can pose significant risks to human health. In this study, we developed a facile mycotoxin detection platform based on branched hybridization chain reaction coupled with lateral flow assay. Ochratoxin A/Aflatoxin B1 bind to aptamers triggering the release of initiators, which leads to bHCR amplification and forms three-dimensional dendritic DNA nanostructures.

Benzimidazoles (BMZs) are a class of veterinary drugs with a benzimidazole ring, the abuse of which poses a serious threat to ecological balance and human health. Consequently, the development of broad-spectrum antibodies and rapid assays are crucial for detecting BMZs in food samples. Herein, we scientifically designed three hapten structures, predicted the availability of the hapten with computational chemistry, and subsequently verified the broad-spectrum with immunological experiments.

Glyphosate (GLY) is widely applied in agriculture and horticulture as a herbicide. The development of genetically modified plants has caused abuse of GLY, with excessive residues potentially causing harm to human health. Consequently, a novel method needs to be built to detect GLY in soybeans and corn.
