I'm always a little skeptical of flavonoid results because they seem to light up every assay but end up having few biological effects.

Side production of methanol always seemed like a credible hypothesis (disclaimer: rarely drink wine).

Although polymer informatics tools have supported speedup, polymer simulation protocols continue to face significant challenges: on-demand generation of realistic 3D atomic structures that respect the conformational diversity of polymer structures. [2/7 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.17656v1]
