• MIT researchers create new self-assembling photovoltaic technology that repairs itself

  Plants are good at doing what scientists and engineers have been struggling to do for decades: converting sunlight into stored energy, and doing so reliably day after day, year after year. Now some MIT scientists have succeeded in mimicking a key aspect of that process. One of the problems with har more

• Hair dyeing without any risk - is that possible?

  Hair dyes have attracted major attention since the evaluation of epidemiological studies from the USA from 2001 identified signs of an elevated risk of bladder cancer amongst hairdressers and consumers who had used hair dyes particularly prior to 1985. This prompted the European Commission to launch more

• Iowa State researchers looking for catalyst that allows plants to produce hydrocarbons

  Plants and algae may be a source of green, renewable hydrocarbons that could replace the ancient, finite hydrocarbons in fossil fuels, according to a team of researchers led by Iowa State University's Jackie Shanks. Shanks, Iowa State's Manley R. Hoppe Professor of Chemical Engineering, said some p more

• ORAC Assay Performed on the POLARstar Omega and PHERAstar FS microplate reader
  

  In all oxygen consuming cells, metabolism and oxidative stress generate several intermediates and byproducts that are collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are necessary intermediates in the human body, but they are also involved in the aging process and in the development of many degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herein we describe the determination of the antioxidant capacity of different fruit juices using the ORAC assay; a standardized method that uses Trolox®, a water-soluble analogue of vitamin E, as a standard substance more

• Employing aqueous CdTe quantum dots with diversified surface functionalities to discriminate between heme (Fe(II)) and hemin (Fe(III))

  The discrimination of ferrous and ferric states in the human body is one of the basic issues for disease control and prevention because Fe(ii) and Fe(iii) are a crucial redox pair during the process of material and energy metabolism. Herein, aqueous CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with diversified surface f more

• Radiofluorinated Carbohydrates for Positron Emission Tomography

  Abstract: 2-Deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (2-18FDG) has represented radiofluorinated carbohydrates as the most successful tracer for positron emission tomography (PET). 2-18FDG uptake depends on glucose metabolism, which is related to a disease progression. 2-18FDG has been widely used in onc more

• Organic Stereochemistry. Part 5

  Abstract This review continues a general presentation of the principles of stereochemistry with special reference to the medicinal sciences. Here, we discuss and illustrate molecular and clinical phenomena of stereoselectivity in pharmacological effects, namely activity differences between stere more

• Carnitine Production, Market and Benchmarking in China

  L-Carnitine, a natural and water soluble nutrient that can be produced by human body and also can be obtained from muscles, is an indispensable factor in the metabolism of fat and has many essential functions in human body. These years, the role of Chinese L-Carnitine industry in the world has beco more

• Production & Market of Nucleic Acid in China

  China had started the research and development of nucleic acids series 30 years ago. Now China is also engaged in the commercial production of this series. Industrially, the Chinese people classify the nucleic acids series products by the degree of industrialization. - Those industrialized produc more
