'Dr. Bengt Samuelsson, a biochemist who shared the 1982 Nobel Prize in medicine for helping to define the biological activities of potent hormone-like molecules in the body called prostaglandins, and whose breakthrough discoveries led to drugs that treat inflammation, glaucoma and allergies, died on July 5 at his home in Molle, on the west coast of Sweden. He was 90.'

@cyrilpedia wow, OK, if that wasn’t discovered until 1982 I can stop being mad that nobody told me ibuprofen cuts down on it and taking it in advance helps period cramps not get bad until the 2000s. I guess that’s why “Take MORE ibuprofen” was the only treatment I was offered for endometriosis until my 40s.
