Alhasani, A., Modasia, A., Anodiyil, M., Corsetti, M., Aliyu, A., Crooks, C., MARCIANI, L., Reid, J., Yakubov, G., Avery, A., Harris, H., Warren, F., & Spiller, R. (2024). Mode of Action of Psyllium in Reducing Gas Production from Inulin and its Interaction with Colonic Microbiota: A 24-hour, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Human Volunteers. Journal of Nutrition, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.12.017

Background
Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH2) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin are reduced by coadministering psyllium (PI).

Objectives
To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it... Read More about Mode of Action of Psyllium in Reducing Gas Production from Inulin and its Interaction with Colonic Microbiota: A 24-hour, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Human Volunteers.

Sustainable fertiliser mesh, ‘4D’-precision engineered by flow chemistry: minimising agrochemical pollution (2024)
Journal Article
Le, T. N. Q., Lim, C. N., Fisk, I., Tran, N. N., Hessel, V., & Robertson, K. (2025). Sustainable fertiliser mesh, ‘4D’-precision engineered by flow chemistry: minimising agrochemical pollution. Green Chemistry, 27(3), 696-715. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4gc04833d

Flow chemistry is best when opening “novel process windows”, and one of six NPW paths is “new chemical transformations”. Flow chemistry has a large impact on syntheses which are particularly mixing-sensitive. Here we exploit the NPW offered by flow c...

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 668, Article 124947. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124947

Due to high lipophilicity and extensive first-pass metabolic loss, cannabidiol (CBD) has low oral bioavailability. Co-administration of CBD and long-chain lipids facilitates the intestinal lymphatic delivery, resulting in higher systemic bioavailabil...
