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 ...

A research team has unveiled how fermentation time and yeast selection work together to transform fresh ‘Nam Hom’ coconut ...

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 ...

Microbiologist Detmer Sipkema has been awarded an ENW-M grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) for innovative, ...

Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified lucidenic acid A, one of the bioactive compounds of Ganoderma lucidum, as a potential inhibitor of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) host cell ...

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 ...

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 ...
