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.
Unlocking Chemical Trends: A Simple Model Explains Non-Intuitive Reactivity and Guides Technological Solutions
For over a century, the quest to predict compound stability from basic atomic properties has driven chemistry. While foundational concepts like Pauling's electronegativity provided key insights, a truly universal, simple model remained elusive. New research now delivers exactly that.
