Solvothermal synthesis of discrete cages and extended networks comprising {Cr(III)3O(O2CR)3(oxime)3}2- (R = H, CH3, C(CH3)3, C14H9) building blocks
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-07-28)
The synthesis, structural and magnetic characterisation of a family of related Cr(III) cages are reported. Each member comprises {Cr(III)3O(O2CR1)3(R2-sao)3}2- (R1 = H, CH3, C(CH3)3, C14H9 ; R2 = Me, Ph, tBu, C10H8) triangles ...
Chemical, electrochemical and photochemical catalytic oxidation of water to dioxygen with mononuclear ru complexes
(Wiley, 2011-01-27)
Four new RuII[BOND]Cl and RuII[BOND]H2O complexes containing the meridional 2,2’:6’,2”-terpyridine (trpy) ligand and the chelating 2-(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (H3p) ligand of general formula in- and out-[RuII(tr ...
HSP72 Protects Cells from ER Stress-induced Apoptosis via Enhancement of IRE1¿-XBP1 Signaling through a Physical Interaction
(2010)
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a feature of secretory cells and of many diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, and diabetes. Adaptation to ER stress depends on the activation of a signal transduction pathway ...
Mechanisms of ER Stress-Mediated Mitochondrial Membrane Permeabilization
(2010)
During apoptosis, the process of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) represents a point-of-no-return as it commits the cell to death. Here we have assessed the role of caspases, Bcl-2 family members and ...
Head-to-nerve analysis of electromechanical impairments of diffuse axonal injury
(Springer, 2018-11-14)
The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury ...
Characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator for multiple reference optical coherence tomography
(Optica, 2018-08-30)
The characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA) as a new axial scanning method for multiple-reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is described. MR-OCT is a compact optical imaging device based ...
Cognitive analysis of schizophrenia risk genes that function as epigenetic regulators of gene expression
(Wiley, 2016-10-20)
Epigenetic mechanisms are an important heritable and dynamic means of regulating various genomic functions, including gene expression, to orchestrate brain development, adult neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. These ...
Beyond the green: understanding the evolutionary puzzle of plant and algal cell walls
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2010-04-26)
Niklas (2000) defined plants as “photosynthetic eukaryotes,” thereby including brown, red, and green macroalgae and microalgae. These groups share several features, including the presence of a complex, dynamic, and ...
Bumblebee colony development following chronic exposure to field-realistic levels of the neonicotinoid pesticide thiamethoxam under laboratory conditions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-20)
Neonicotinoid pesticides are used in agriculture to reduce damage from crop pests. However, beneficial insects such as bees can come into contact with these pesticides when foraging in treated areas, with potential ...
Quantitative polymorph contaminant analysis in tablets using Raman and near infra-red spectroscopies
(2013)
The detection and quantification of alternate polymorphs of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly at low concentrations is a key issue for the manufacture and analysis of solid-state formulations. Each ...
