Scientists are taking a closer look at monk fruit and discovering it’s more than just a sugar substitute. New research shows ...

A new study reveals that roasted coffee contains previously unknown compounds capable of inhibiting a key enzyme linked to blood sugar control. Scientists have identified three compounds that strongly ...

Grape stems are rich in bioactive phenolic compounds, offering potential for developing antioxidant-rich products in the food industry. The study employed UV-vis spectrophotometry and HPLC to quantify ...

One striking example is eribulin, a chemotherapy drug inspired by halichondrin B, a compound originally found in the marine sponge Halichondria okadai. The natural source, however, was never practical ...

In a recent Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids study, researchers demonstrate enhanced loss-of-function editing of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated ...

Lignin—a tough, mixed polymer found in plant cell walls—is nature’s most abundant stockpile of aromatic functional groups. Because of this, lignin’s rich natural complexity could be a well of new ...

Researchers at Applied Biological Laboratories Inc. discovered how natural bioactive molecules can effectively relieve cold and flu symptoms by protecting the mucosal barrier function and reducing ...

Chemists have used visible light and extremely tiny nanoparticles to quickly and simply make molecules that are of the same class as many lead compounds for drug development. Driven by light, the ...

The first place you need to look to understand “chirality” are your hands – identical structures that cannot be successfully superimposed over one another. Like our hands, many molecules also exhibit ...

The valorisation of avocado by-products, notably seeds and peels, has emerged as a significant research focus with broad implications for food science, nutraceutical development and sustainable ...
