SSRN preprint / European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry record
PyMACS: A Python-Based Automation Suite for GROMACS Molecular Dynamics Setup, Simulation, and Analysis
PyMACS turns a technically demanding molecular dynamics workflow into a more reproducible, scriptable pipeline. For Mindful Diabetes, this kind of computational infrastructure matters because it supports faster, cleaner exploration of biological targets and therapeutic hypotheses.
Scientific Reports
PRosettaC outperforms AlphaFold3 for modeling PROTAC ternary complexes
This study compares structure-prediction approaches for PROTAC ternary complexes, a difficult problem in targeted protein degradation. It shows active work at the intersection of computational biology, therapeutic design, and model evaluation.
International Journal of Smart Technologies
Broad Perspective of Smart Home Technology in 2024
This article surveys the modern smart-home landscape and its role in everyday support systems. That perspective connects directly to prevention work: better environments can make healthy routines easier to start and sustain.
Drug Discovery Today
Targeted degrader technologies as prospective SARS-CoV-2 therapies
This review explores how targeted protein degradation could become part of antiviral therapeutic development. It reflects a broader research focus on translating molecular mechanisms into practical treatment strategies.
Cell Metabolism
Dynamic scRNA-seq of live human pancreatic slices reveals functional endocrine cell neogenesis through an intermediate ducto-acinar stage
This pancreatic-slice study uses live human tissue and single-cell sequencing to investigate endocrine cell formation. It is especially relevant to diabetes research because it examines cellular plasticity in the organ central to insulin biology.
SCIREA Journal of Biology
Embryonic adipose development and consequences in later life
This work looks at adipose development early in life and how developmental events may shape later health. It supports the Mindful Diabetes emphasis on prevention by looking upstream, before metabolic problems become entrenched.
Stem Cells International
The Potential of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Treat and Model Alzheimer's Disease
This article reviews how induced pluripotent stem cells can help model Alzheimer's disease and support therapeutic discovery. It sits close to Mindful Diabetes' core mission by connecting brain health, disease modeling, and future intervention pathways.
Journal of Natural Products
Concise Modular Synthesis of Thalassotalic Acids A-C
This chemistry paper focuses on modular synthesis of thalassotalic acids, adding a foundational medicinal-chemistry thread to the research portfolio. It rounds out the publication record with hands-on chemical synthesis experience.
Why it matters
Research gives Mindful Diabetes a stronger foundation
Our public education, prevention messaging, and wellness tools are stronger when they are connected to real research experience and a continuing publication record.
