With an FDA approval in hand for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) treatment Livdelzi (seladelpar), Gilead Sciences enters arenas that are both new and old. While the California drugmaker is launching an inflammatory drug for the first time, it also is familiar territory for the company as PBC is a liver disorder—which means that most of the physicians who prescribe medicines from Gilead’s blockbuster hepatitis portfolio are the same ones treating PBC patients.

Ascendis Pharma should be well prepared for the U.S. launch of its hormone replacement therapy for hypoparathyroidism, which was approved on Friday by the FDA. After all, the company was initially set to bring the drug to the market 15 months ago before the FDA rejected it with a surprise complete response letter (CRL).

Vice President Kamala Harris will call for a federal ban on food and grocery price gouging on Friday. Within her first 100 days in office, the Democratic presidential candidate will push for the first-ever federal ban on “corporate price gouging” by food companies to prevent them from “unfairly jacking up prices on consumers,” her campaign said Wednesday.

Remember being told that the internet would make our lives easier? I’m going to put on my Maury Povich mask to say the lie detector test determined that was a lie. Now we’re all infinitely connected and constantly contactable by virtually anyone, and deceitful folks can intentionally sensationalize things online to exploit popularity. If you’ve seen the recent viral footage of “pregnant” cars with giant inflated bubbles in China, then you’ve likely fallen prey to a sensationalized fallacy.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

People are excited to use semaglutide, a diabetes drug popular for assisting weight loss that's commonly sold as Ozempic and Wegovy — and there's good reason to be.

Cooking With Maryann

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!
