In this episode of the Xtalks Life Science Podcast, host Soumya Shashikumar, Senior Life Sciences Journalist at Xtalks, speaks with James Mackay, CEO of Crystalys Therapeutics, about the underlying biology of #gout, the role of uric acid and kidney function and the challenges patients can face when beginning urate-lowering treatment. Tune in to learn why gout is more than an occasional painful flare, how uric acid crystals can silently accumulate over time and why patient education and treatment adherence are critical to effectively managing this chronic condition. 🎧 Listen now: https://buff.ly/UvRwR13 #Arthritis #BiotechPodcast #ChronicInflammation #Gout #Inflammation #Inflammatory #InflammatoryArthritis #InflammatoryDisease #LifeSciencePodcast

Some patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes remain above their glycemic targets despite taking several glucose-lowering therapies. In an exclusive with Xtalks, Robert Jacks, President & CEO of Sparrow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., discusses why researchers are looking more closely at excess cortisol and the biological drivers of treatment resistance.
