Researchers have created a synthetic compound from caraway seeds that shows greater effectiveness than current childhood epilepsy medications, offering hope for safer treatments without cannabis-related regulatory barriers.

A team of researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has developed a new class of CBD -like compounds, but without using the cannabis plant. Instead, the scientists turned to an unexpected source: caraway seeds, a spice commonly used in breads, stews, and cheeses.

Academic proficiency levels are edging toward pre-pandemic rates, fewer students are frequently absent, and charter schools are generally outperforming regular schools, according to data from the Nevada Department of Education.

The long-shuttered Eastside Cannery casino on the Boulder Strip, which closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and never reopened, will be demolished, according to Boyd Gaming.

Get ready for more sports betting scandals. On Thursday, the FBI arrested two current members of the NBA — Miami Heat player Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups — as part of a long-term investigation into illegal sports betting and poker schemes. Billups' charge wasn't basketball-related. Former NBA player Damon Jones was also charged.

Every day during the school year, students settle into their classroom and parents hope for a smooth day, but then that announcement … it’s either an emergency or a drill.

Amid the government shutdown and recent 20+ hour filibuster from Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, UNLV Professor Dr. Rebecca Gill talks with us on ARC Las Vegas about what this means for the public and where we can go from here.

A possible “molecular breakthrough” is happening in the Las Vegas valley. A group of UNLV students and neuroscientists has found a way to take something as common as caraway, also known as meridian fennel, and transform it into a new class of CBD-like compounds that could potentially help children who suffer from severe seizure disorders.

A common kitchen spice may yield a new class of cannabidiol (CBD)-like medicines with powerful seizure-reducing effects, according to a new study. Caraway seeds, also called meridian fennel, could produce safer, more affordable, and more effective treatments for childhood seizure disorders than existing frontline therapies.

A groundbreaking advancement from researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has unveiled a novel class of cannabidiol (CBD)-like compounds derived from the common kitchen spice  caraway seeds. This innovative approach promises a revolutionary leap forward in seizure therapy, particularly for childhood seizure disorders, by offering treatments that are safer, more potent, and more cost-effective than current frontline medications. The cornerstone of this discovery lies in the chemical manipulation of carvone, the principal constituent of caraway seeds, to craft synthetic molecules that mimic the therapeutic advantages of CBD while eliminating the psychoactive effects tied to THC.

A new poll suggests a tight race in Nevada’s 2026 gubernatorial election, with Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, trailing Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo by a narrow margin.
