Selective oxidation reactions are central to modern biochemistry. They enable the controlled introduction of oxygen into organic molecules, a key step in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, many of the enzymatic systems traditionally used for these transformations are complex and difficult to implement in practice.
This article makes those steps explicit. I describe a repeatable cognitive pipeline I call Stained-Glass Thinking, which I have used consistently throughout the development of Relational Field Theory (RFT).
Many times, individuals feel fearful or extremely worried about cancer testing. The regular tests and scans that patients living with any cancer diagnosis have to undergo, to monitor their condition, can make them feel anxious before, during, or after a scan or a follow-up test
Inhaled antibiotics deliver drugs directly to lung infections, achieving better results with fewer side effects, which is a game-changer in fighting resistance.
This architecture is essential for shielding neurons from toxins, pathogens, and fluctuations in the bloodstream, but it also creates a devastating bottleneck for modern medicine. More than 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all large biological therapeutics fail to cross the BBB in meaningful amounts, leaving many promising treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, and inflammatory diseases stranded in the circulation.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder with classic clinical symptoms such as dementia, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, particularly in the ageing population.
Modern healthcare is undergoing a silent revolution. Now to treat a disease in the healthcare system, there is no longer a need to wait for symptoms to appear.
Out of so many mental disorders, a rare disorder is the Fregoli delusion or Fregoli syndrome (FS), in which an individual holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person, who keeps on changing appearances quickly or is in disguise. People affected with this condition often experience anxiety, paranoia, and agitation. It can impact the patient’s mental health and their safety and the safety of others.
Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
Using a simple childhood observation as the starting point, we show how shifting from origin-based to boundary-based thinking resolves infinite regress and opens a clearer way to engage with fundamental concepts in physics, time, and existence
You slept last night and woke up with a pimple popping up on your face! It would make you feel angry and depressed. Isn’t it? This could be hormonal acne. Hormonal acne could appear as common forms of acne, such as whiteheads, or more severe types of acne, such as nodules and cysts. Let us delve into and learn more about hormonal acne and various ways to deal with it.
Explore how Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) works, its role in hard-to-abate industries, and how geology helps trap CO₂ to combat climate change.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, claiming over a million lives each year. TB is the deadliest infectious disease known today, claiming more lives than COVID-19. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB spreads through the air when infected people breathe, cough, sneeze,
Discover how the SNAP29 gene guides cellular traffic, and how its mutation leads to CEDNIK syndrome, affecting brain, nerves, and skin.
Healthcare is changing faster than ever before. Thanks to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), genomics, and wearable technology, medicine is entering the era of smart health, where data, devices, and biology work together to create care tailored to the individual.
Evolution is often imagined as a process that unfolds over millions of years. However, in microorganisms such as yeasts, evolutionary changes can occur much more rapidly. Yeasts reproduce quickly, populations grow to large sizes, and genetic variations can spread through generations in a short time.
Why is mucus the biggest obstacle to lung drug delivery? Explore the mucosal barrier science reshaping how we design inhaled medicines and vaccines.
