Runners appear to experience a decrease in the amount of myelin in certain regions of the brain following a marathon, according to a study of 10 participants in Nature Metabolism. The effect, however, was completely reversed two months after the marathon. https://go.nature.com/4iDd62r 🧪

Here we describe a new NO-releasing motif designed to serve as a stable source of NO for inhaled nitric oxide therapies. The donors are bench stable for extended periods and release NO in great yields when heated.

I am excited to share our group's latest manuscript, now live on the #ChemRxiv! We show by electron diffraction that Zn3(HOTP)2 isn't a typical 2D MOF, but is instead a 3D connected structure with incommensurate modulations. #crystallography
