5-Aminolevulinic acid, often shortened to 5-ALA, is a highly sought-after amino acid. It's valuable in many industries, but making it efficiently has been a challenge. Researchers have been working on using bacteria as tiny factories to produce 5-ALA. The trick is to find a quick way to check which bacteria are the best producers. One way to do this is by looking at...

Drugs are sneaky. They keep changing, and it's tough to keep up. But here's a clever way to stay ahead: check the wastewater. This isn't about snooping; it's about public health. Scientists have found a way to spot new drugs in our water systems. They've created a swift and efficient method to detect 311 different new psychoactive substances (NPS) and their breakdown...

The human body has an amazing ability to repair itself. One of the most incredible examples is how bones mend after a break. This process, known as bone regeneration and repair, has been a hot topic in medical research. While significant progress has been made in treating bone injuries, there are still big challenges. Large bone defects, bones that refuse to heal, an...

Nav channels are like tiny gates that control how cells send electrical signals. These gates are super important in the heart, muscles, and brain. They are also targets for various drugs and toxins. Usually, scientists use a method called patch-clamp electrophysiology to study these gates. However, this method is slow and requires a lot of effort. So, researchers hav...
