Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss, is one of the most widespread causes of hair thinning in both men and women. While topical minoxidil is an approved therapy, its limited ability to dissolve in water and penetrate the skin reduces its effectiveness. Researchers reporting in Advanced Healthcare Materials have found that stevioside, a …

Summary: Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just slowing it. The lead compound, K102, not only promotes remyelination but also balances immune function—key for long-term neurological recovery. In animal and cell studies, it restored myelin-producing cells and showed strong potential for …

Early evidence hints that DMT can stabilize the blood–brain barrier and dampen inflammation after stroke, likely via Sigma-1 receptors. Credit: Stock A natural compound present in the brain shows promise in reducing stroke damage by protecting the blood-brain barrier and lowering inflammation. DMT, short for dimethyltryptamine, is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound that exists in a variety of plants and …

A natural compound called morin, found in fruits, teas, and nuts, is showing promise as a new tool in the fight against gum disease.

The psychedelic compound psilocybin has fascinated humans for years. It alters perception, expands consciousness, and is even being tested as a treatment for depression. However, researchers are still puzzled by the purpose of psilocybin for the fungi that produce it. A recent study has shown that different groups of mushrooms developed the ability to produce psilocybin on separate occasions. These …

The Yeung Lab’s arc melter synthesizes manganese diboride. Credit: Brian Busher UAlbany chemists created manganese diboride, a high-energy material with potential for rocket fuel and new technologies. Chemists at the University at Albany have developed a high-energy compound that could transform rocket fuel and make space travel more efficient. When ignited, this compound produces significantly more energy per unit of …
