Host Cell Metabolism Goes Viral: Unveiling How HEV Hijacks Your Cells
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute and chronic hepatitis, with severity depending on the viral genotype. HEV-1 infection can be particularly severe during pregnancy, whereas HEV-3 is typically mild, except in elderly or immunocompromised individuals.
Thiorphan reprograms neurons to regenerate after spinal cord injury
A Nature study reveals a small drug that helps adult neurons behave more like they did in early development—when growth was possible. In spinal cord injury models, it boosted nerve regeneration and improved hand function, pointing to a new repair strategy.
Advances in microbial enzyme technology for food processing strategies and applications
In this Behind the Paper post, I’d like to share the story behind the science—the challenges we faced, why this work matters, how it might shape future food systems, and a few personal reflections from the research journey.
The Story Behind the Paper: From a Workshop to a Published Fight Against Malaria
Our journey from a workshop group to a published paper: using computational tools to mine Neem's secrets for novel antimalarial leads against drug-resistant malaria.
