Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Lithium ion battery degradation: science takes time just like degradation
The physics of lithium ion battery degradation is complex and path dependent. It is still possible to model with a bottom up approach based upon fundamental understanding. However, it just takes time and a long term strategy.
New Wine in Old Wineskins: The Metabolite, The Disease and The Drug
TNF inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of patients with autoimmune/autoinflammatory diseases. Here, from the perspective of immune metabolism, this study underlies the therapeutic effects of TNF inhibitors in Behçet’s disease (BD), providing novel insights for TNF inhibitors application.
Gallic and glycyrrhetinic acids prevent azithromycin-induced liver damage in rats by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation
This study investigates the protective effects of gallic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid against liver damage induced by azithromycin in rats. Azithromycin, a commonly used antibiotic, can cause liver toxicity due to oxidative stress and inflammation.
Laromestrocel: Stem Cells for Alzheimer's Disease?
Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease has seen recent advancement with anti-amyloid therapies, but these are only partially effective and come with risks. Stem cell treatments offer new promise, and new clinical trial results point to both safety and potential efficacy.
