The stages of "Sleeping Brain" show the brain cycles through distinct stages, each with its own EEG wave patterns and biological functions. A typical night moves through these stages every ~90 minutes, repeating 4–6 cycles.

When Magensium Levels Go Wrong!!!

Are you happy with your job?

When you wake up every day and look forward to working on an ingredient, the smile comes naturally.

For me, it’s working on cutting-edge, high-impact science that moves from the lab to clinical studies to daily life and makes a difference.

#World #Cancer #Day 4 Feb 2026 reminds us that cancer affects millions of lives including our own families.

I lost my #mother to cancer, which makes the importance of accurate education, prevention, and science-led care deeply personal to me.

Together, we can fight cancer.

This is #Magtein

#Magnesium helps the brain learn.

At rest, it blocks NMDA receptors to reduce noise.
During learning, it moves aside so calcium can strengthen connections (LTP).

That’s why brain magnesium matters for memory.

#Magtein delivers #magnesium to the brain to support this process.

#GLP-1 started as a diabetes drug and NOW redefining how we think about chronic disease!

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a gut-derived hormone released after eating that helps regulate metabolism.

See GLP-1 history!

Magnesium is a tightly regulated ion essential for nerve signaling, energy metabolism, and cardiac function.
Only ~1–2% is in blood; most is stored in bone and muscle and regulated by gut absorption and the kidneys.
Magtein is a bioavailable #Magnesium shown to elevate magnesium levels in the brain.

Understand your nervous system to make smarter dietary choices.
Magnesium is essential for neuronal health, but bioavailability and tissue delivery matter. Magensium supports cognition, energy, sleep quality, and general wellness.

Sleep quality is regulated by circadian biology, light exposure, thermoregulation, and sleep pressure accumulated across the day.
Magtein at 1g or 2g is clinically tested depending on your weight and need. *Magtein Dose of 145mg shown in the infographic is for elemental magnesium in the 2g Magtein

"The Tug-of-War in You: Enzymatic vs. Non-Enzymatic Collagen Crosslinks"
I did my PhD on collagen crosslinks more than a decade ago. It is clear that collagen biology is far more complex and still evolving.

Aspartame in diet drinks may worsen artery disease by triggering insulin spikes and vessel inflammation that speed up plaque buildup.
In animals, blocking this stopped the damage.
Aspartame may raise heart disease risks.

One of the most interesting projects I have ever worked on was the analysis of ostrich and deer antler collagen analysing their amino acid profiles, protein content, and natural crosslinks (unpublished work).

AI mirrors experimental science to uncover a novel mechanism of gene transfer crucial to bacterial evolution AI models have been proposed for hypothesis generation, but testing their ability to drive high-impact research is challenging, since an AI-generated hypothesis can take decades to validate. Here, we ...

Google has release a new "AI co-scientist" which has now replicated a decade's worth of research on bacterial gene transfer mechanisms in just two days.

Quantitative and structural analysis of isotopically labelled natural crosslinks in type I skin collagen using LC-HRMS and SANS - Collagen and Leather Abstract Collagen structure in biological tissues imparts its intrinsic physical properties by the formation of several covalent crosslinks. For the first time, two major crosslinks in the skin dihydr...

This one of my work remains close to my heart.
We labeled then measured crosslinks in collagen, using LC-HRMS and SANS.
We were the first to isotopically label with sodium borodeuteride and detected HHMD, confirming its single-bond structure.

Thank you, but I hope to find a way to identify because since 2016, I've been wondering about these structures

Bluesky’s science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

Bluesky is like X (formerly Twitter) Minus the junk.

Bluesky is an excellent platform for connecting scientists, and I hope it continues to grow and stay on this positive trajectory. It’s a social media platform that focuses on showing you what you want to see, filtering out all the unnecessary clutter.

Animal skin cow and sheep. Yep, it seems to be bacteria but small for bacteria. May be a virus?

I wanted to end 2024 with these cool Transmission electron microscopy images from my PhD research on raw skin tissue!
Can anyone guess what this structure might be?
