Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Soo Min Ko"
- Soo Min Ko's recent research primarily focuses on the safety evaluation of plasticizers and L-tryptophan, investigating their chronic toxicity and potential health effects on both animals and humans, particularly in light of associated health conditions like eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS).
- Key findings reveal that while Eco-DEHCH, a novel phthalate-free plasticizer, shows promise as a safer alternative, significant safety concerns regarding impurities in L-tryptophan have been highlighted, necessitating thorough assessments of its manufacturing processes to mitigate risks.
- In addition to toxicity studies, Ko has also explored therapeutic advancements, such as the effects of the HDAC6-selective inhibitor CKD-506 in a model for multiple sclerosis, signaling a diverse research effort that spans toxicological assessments and potential treatment innovations.
