Peroxygenases as powerful and sustainable biocatalysts in modern biochemistry

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.

Organoid-Based Toxicity Testing as a Replacement for Animal Models

Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).

Nourishing Wounds: How Micronutrients Drive Healing

Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process that occurs through four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. To repair tissue damage, the body works intensively, thereby significantly increasing cellular metabolic demands.

mRNA Vaccines in Modern Therapeutics

mRNA Vaccines in Modern Therapeutics

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent one of the most significant scientific advances in modern therapeutics. Unlike conventional vaccines that use weakened or inactivated pathogens, mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions that enable host cells to synthesize a target antigen and stimulate an immune response.

Full Blood Count (FBC): What It Measures and Why It Matters

A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a blood test that measures different types of blood cells and related parameters, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin, haematocrit and red blood cell indices. It can help healthcare professionals investigate conditions such as anaemia, infection, inflammation and certain blood disorders.
