From ferments to fixers: Postbiotics in wound healing
Hui Sin Lim, Christopher J. Serpell, Satoshi Ogawa, Yong Yu Hu, Eng Hwa Wong
Medicine in Drug Discovery, 2026
The skin acts as a vital barrier against the environment, and injuries can lead to acute or chronic wounds. Chronic wounds often heal slowly and are more susceptible to infection. Postbiotics, defined as preparations of inactivated microorganisms or their bioactive components, have demonstrated potential to promote wound repair. Compared with live probiotics, postbiotics are safer, more stable, and easier to standardise, while still supporting tissue repair via antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. Compounds such as exopolysaccharides, short-chain fatty acids, antimicrobial peptides, enzymes, vitamins, and cell-free supernatants can enhance fibroblast growth, collagen production, keratinocyte migration, angiogenesis, and immune balance. Postbiotics derived from Lactobacillus , Bifidobacterium , Bacillus , and commensal Staphylococcus species act through multiple signalling pathways. They reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, promote alternatively activated M2 macrophage polarisation, and facilitate restoration of the skin barrier. Recent developments in hydrogels, nanofibers, and encapsulated delivery systems have improved the stability and availability of postbiotic compounds at wound sites, making them more effective. Despite promising results from preclinical studies and early clinical trials, challenges remain in standardizing production, defining regulatory frameworks, and generating strong clinical evidence. Future studies should focus on identifying key bioactive molecules using advanced omics approaches, developing targeted delivery systems, and evaluating postbiotic therapies in well-designed clinical trials. Overall, postbiotics provide a safe and versatile approach to accelerate wound healing and may serve as an alternative or complement to conventional treatments.
5,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavone (PMF) exhibits anti-obesity and neuroprotective effects in an obese zebrafish model
Muhammad Sufyan Vohra, Bilal Ahmad, Emerald R. Taylor, Khaled Benchoula, Isabel Lim Fong, Ishwar S. Parhar, Satoshi Ogawa, Christopher J. Serpell, Eng Hwa Wong
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2025
Obesity is a multi-chronic illness characterized by superfluous fat accumulation, contributing to significant metabolic and neurological complications. Current therapeutic approaches have limited efficacy and notable side effects, underscoring an urgent demand for novel, safer alternatives. This study is the first to investigate the anti-obesity potential of 5,7,3',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone (PMF) in vivo using a zebrafish model. Our findings demonstrate that PMF administration exerts pronounced anti-obesogenic effects, evidenced by reductions in blood glucose, plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol, hepatic low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Mechanistically, PMF suppressed hepatic adipogenic and lipogenic gene expression while promoting lipid catabolism through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) and its downstream enzymes, including acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADM), and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1B (CPT-1β). Additionally, PMF markedly mitigated oxidative stress by lowering malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels, accompanied by increased antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Notably, PMF effectively prevented obesity by suppressing food intake, downregulating orexigenic genes, and enhancing anorexigenic signals. Furthermore, PMF exhibited neuroprotective properties by elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase B2 (TrkB2), revealing a novel link between metabolic and neurological regulation. This study provides pioneering, comprehensive in vivo evidence supporting PMF as a promising therapeutic candidate with dual beneficial roles in metabolic health and neuroprotection.
From Fins to Furs: Unlocking the Therapeutic Potential of Animal-derived Bioactives for Wound Care
Hui Sin Lim, Christopher J. Serpell, Satoshi Ogawa, Yong Yu Hu, Eng Hwa Wong
Medicine in Drug Discovery, 2025
Animal-derived products, such as organs, secretions, and mucus, have been part and parcel of traditional medicine and are often overlooked in the modern healthcare system. Nevertheless, researchers have begun to explore the untapped potential of bioactive compounds from marine organisms, reptiles, amphibians, and insects, thus offering innovative solutions for wound care. This review delved into the medicinal properties of animal-based bioactive compounds in wound healing based on in vitro and in vivo studies. A comparative analysis of the empirical evidence was performed to determine the benefits and limitations of animal-derived bioactive compounds. In summary, the literature suggests that animal-derived products could regulate biological pathways involved in inflammation and tissue regeneration. Clinical trials are underway to affirm the feasibility and safety of these compounds for human health applications.
Insights Into Brain Networks Driving Optimal Flow and the Role of Mindfulness in Flow
Rathi Priya Bollu Yashwant, Eng Hwa Wong
Psychology of Optimal States, 2025
Flow is a mental state of complete absorption into the present task with a strong drive and diminished sense of self and time. Optimal flow is a state of peak performance where individuals engage in any highly-skilled activity task with complete focus, efficiency, and immersion. However, the neural dynamics and systems involved in the flow and optimal flow states are complex and require significant scientific interdisciplinary scrutiny. Mindfulness is a mental state of being fully present and engaged in the current moment, without judgment. Mindfulness and flow share commonalities, as both involve deep focus and immersion in the present moment. Long-term mindfulness practices may enhance one's ability to be in flow state for longer durations, mainly by altering the neuroplasticity in the brain areas associated with emotional and cognitive health. Henceforth, in this chapter, the Authors have outlined the main neural correlates of the flow and optimal flow states as well as the impact of mindfulness in achieving these states.
The Impact of Neuroplasticity on Skill Acquisition and Cognitive Growth
Rathi Priya Bollu Yashwant, Eng Hwa Wong
Impact of Neuroplasticity on Organizational Effectiveness and Labor Productivity, 2025
This chapter explores the foundational role of neuroplasticity in skill acquisition and cognitive growth across the human lifespan. Neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize its structure and function in response to internal and external stimuli—underpins the development of new skills, adaptation to environmental demands, and recovery from injury. Drawing on recent advances in neuroscience, the chapter examines key mechanisms of plasticity, including synaptic strengthening, dendritic remodeling, and network-level reorganization, and links these to practical outcomes in education, professional development, and rehabilitation.The chapter also addresses neuroplasticity in neurodiverse populations and clinical conditions, highlighting both the potential and limitations of plastic change. By integrating empirical findings with applied frameworks, this work provides a multidimensional understanding of how neuroplasticity can be harnessed to foster learning, improve cognitive performance, and promote lifelong adaptability.

Scientific Reports, 2024
Zebrafish have been utilized for many years as a model animal for pharmacological studies on diabetes and obesity. High-fat diet (HFD), streptozotocin and alloxan injection, and glucose immersion have all been used to induce diabetes and obesity in zebrafish. Currently, studies commonly used both male and female zebrafish, which may influence the outcomes since male and female zebrafish are biologically different. This study was designed to investigate the difference between the metabolites of male and female diabetic zebrafish, using limonene – a natural product which has shown several promising results in vitro and in vivo in treating diabetes and obesity—and provide new insights into how endogenous metabolites change following limonene treatment. Using HFD-fed male and female zebrafish, we were able to develop an animal model of T2D and identify several endogenous metabolites that might be used as diagnostic biomarkers for diabetes. The endogenous metabolites in males and females were different, even though both genders had high blood glucose levels and a high BMI. Treatment with limonene prevented high blood glucose levels and improved in diabesity zebrafish by limonene, through reversal of the metabolic changes caused by HFD in both genders. In addition, limonene was able to reverse the elevated expression of AKT during HFD.

Children are susceptible to infections due to frequent participation in school group activities and their often-suboptimal hygiene practices. Frequent infections in children affect school attendance, academic performances, and general health. The effectiveness of school-based hygiene-related intervention programmes need to be informed by updated high-quality synthesised evidence. In this systematic review, we searched PubMed and Cochrane CENTRAL for randomised and non-randomised interventional studies that evaluated school-based hygiene-related interventions. We assessed risk-of-bias (Cochrane risk-of-bias 2 tool), performed random-effect meta-analysis (RevMan 5.4) and rated certainty-of-evidence (GRADE). Thirty-nine trials (41 reports), published from 2011 to 2024 from 22 countries were included. Twenty-three studies contributed data for meta-analysis. All school-based interventions were compared with standard curriculum and demonstrated very low to low certainty-of-evidence due to study methodological limitations and imprecision. Hand-body hygiene interventions may improve knowledge, attitudes and practices (SMD 2.30, 95%CI 1.17 to 3.44, 6 studies, 7301 participants), increase handwashing practices (RR 1.75, 95%CI 1.41 to 2.17, 5 studies, 5479 participants), and reduce infection-related absenteeism (RR 0.74, 95%CI 0.66 to 0.83, 5 studies, 1017852 observations). Genital hygiene interventions may improve attitude (SMD 6.53, 95%CI 2.40 to 10.66, 2 studies, 2644 participants) and practices (RR 2.44, 95%CI 1.28 to 4.68, 1 study, 1201 participants). However, intervention effects on oral hygiene appeared mixed, with worsening of the oral hygiene score (SMD 3.12, 95%CI 1.87 to 4.37, 2 studies, 652 participants) but improved dental hygiene (SMD -0.33, 95%CI -0.53 to -0.13, 3 studies, 4824 participants) and dental caries scores (SMD -0.34, 95%CI -0.52 to -0.16, 4 studies, 2352 participants). Limited evidence suggests that interventions targeting hand-body and genital hygiene practices may improve knowledge, practices, and infection-related absenteeism. However, the effects on oral hygiene intervention appeared mixed. Future research should strengthen randomisation and intervention documentation, and evaluate hygiene-related behaviour, academic performances and health outcomes.

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2024
Objective(s): Pneumococcal cell wall (PCW) is an inflammatory component in Streptococcus pneumoniae. The cell surface proteins and the toll-like receptors (TLR) signaling response were investigated in the human lung epithelial (A549) cells inoculated with PCW of different serotypes. Materials and Methods: The presence of genes encoding these proteins was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The structure of the cell walls was analyzed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The A549 cell line was challenged with PCW extracts of different serotypes. RNA from the infected host cells was extracted and tested against a total of 84 genes associated with TLR signaling pathways (TLR 1-6 and 10) using RT2 Profiler PCR Array. Results: Cell surface proteins; ply, lytA, nanA, nanB, and cbpD genes were present in all serotypes. The distribution and structure of surface protein genes suggest behavioral changes in the molecules, contributing to the resilience of the strains to antibiotic treatment. Conclusion: TLR2 showed the highest expression, while serotypes 1, 3, and 5 induced higher TNFα and IL-1α, suggesting to be more immunogenic than the other strains tested

Yang Xu, Eng Hwa Wong, Bin Nordin Rusli, Kareem Meera Mohaideen Abdul, Samraj Prakash Earnest Benjamin, Yin How Wong
Obm Neurobiology, 2024
Stroke is the second and third leading cause of death and disability, respectively, all over the world. It seriously affects patients' lives and brings huge burdens to their families. Ischemic stroke accounts for most of the stroke cases. In the absence of any effective treatment, prevention measures through controlling the risk factors for ischemic stroke become crucial. While uric acid has been reported as an essential risk factor for ischemic stroke, researchers hold inconsistent views regarding the specific association between uric acid and ischemic stroke. By summarizing the association between uric acid levels and ischemic stroke, this article can guide researchers to quickly and comprehensively understand the relationship between uric acid and ischemic stroke and develop further studies for its exploration.
