In an @ACSpressroom article, prof. @HeatherDMaynard (@cnsiatucla @uclachem) discusses a new injectable treatment designed to prevent and treat #hypoglycemia—which could offer a promising alternative for people at risk of dangerous low blood sugar episodes:

Exciting research from Professor Heather Maynard's group! @HeatherDMaynard @group_maynard

When blood sugar drops too low in mice, new nanocapsules release a drug that helps bring it back up. The advance might someday prevent severe hypoglycemia in diabetics, say @HeatherDMaynard @AndreaHevener and other @UCLA researchers in @ACSCentSci: brnw.ch/21wNtdK
ALT An illustration showing a needle injecting glucose-response micelles under the skin. An inactive version of the glucagon drug is sketched as blue spheres with inner red circles, and the active form of the drug is represented as multicolored squiggles.

Have you ever wondered what keeps sea monkeys alive before you add water? The answer is trehalose!
@HeatherDMaynard @uclachem talked to @sci_steph about how she uses #trehalose polymers to make life-saving drugs more stable.

Katie Rodriguez with @Caltrans9 has been championing the need for a series of wildlife crossings on 395 near Mammoth in the Eastern Sierra for years. This area is sadly a roadkill hotspot with many deer, bears, mountain lions and many more wildlife dying here every year from vehicle collisions. With a recent grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board, this project is off and running.
Help make this a reality. Get involved at eslt.org/wildlifecrossing/

Our team (with @group_maynard and @houk1000) reports the development of the fastest known abiotic Cys bioconjugation enabled by organometallic Au(III) reagents. Rates are over 10^4 M^-1s^-1, which allows for rapid bioconjugation at picoM concentrations! See our preprint for more details: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…. And DM me if you want to try any of these.
