Teaming up synthetic chemistry and histochemistry for activity screening in galectin-directed inhibitor design
(Springer, 2016-06-24)
A hallmark of endogenous lectins is their ability to select a few distinct glycoconjugates as counterreceptors for functional pairing from the natural abundance of cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids. As a consequence, ...
Biological phosphorus removal during high-rate, low-temperature, anaerobic digestion of wastewater
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-03)
We report, for the first time, extensive biologically mediated phosphate removal from wastewater during high-rate anaerobic digestion (AD). A hybrid sludge bed/fixed-film (packed pumice stone) reactor was employed for ...
Agricultural anaerobic digestion power plants in Ireland and Germany: policy and practice
(Wiley, 2016-08-24)
The process of anaerobic digestion (AD) is valued as a carbon-neutral energy source, while simultaneously treating organic waste, making it safer for disposal or use as a fertilizer on agricultural land. The AD process in ...
Metal-based glycoconjugates and their potential in targeted anticancer chemotherapy
(De Gruyter Open, 2016-04-07)
Glucose is a key source of energy and an essential
nutrient for cell growth. Rapidly dividing cancer cells are
well-known to require more nutrients and energy than
normal ones to sustain their higher proliferation ...
Functional imaging for regenerative medicine
(BMC, 2016-04-19)
In vivo imaging is a platform technology with the power to put function in its natural structural context. With the drive to translate stem cell therapies into pre-clinical and clinical trials, early selection of the right ...
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 ...
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 ...
A comprehensive experimental and modeling study of isobutene oxidation
(Elsevier, 2016-03-17)
Isobutene is an important intermediate in the pyrolysis and oxidation of higher-order branched alkanes, and it is also a component of commercial gasolines. To better understand its combustion characteristics, a series of ...
Charophytes: evolutionary giants and emerging model organisms
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-10)
Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet. Extant charophytes exhibit many features ...
