This article reviews some of our newest and most innovative technologies and their specific applications toward cancer research. It describes how complex the disease of cancer is, and how difficult it is to identify one topic that is completely
Rovis has demonstrated that triazolium salt in the presence of a base can act as an N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalyst1 in highly enantioselective intramolecular Stetter reactions.
Chromogenic and fluorogenic derivatives are invaluable tools for biochemistry, having numerous applications in enzymology, protein chemistry, immunology and histochemistry.
This issue of Biofiles reviews some of our newest and most innovative technologies and their specific applications toward cancer research. In preparing this issue of Biofiles, one is reminded how complex the disease of cancer is, and how difficult it
Magnetic nanoparticles have attracted tremendous attention due to their novel properties and their potential applications in magnetic recording, magnetic energy storage and biomedicine.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have received much attention since their discovery in 1991 by Sumio lijima1 due to their excellent mechanical, electrical, and optical properties.
We have explored novel transparent oxide semiconductors, focusing on the low dimensional structure embedded in the crystal structure: in particular, a 3-dimensionally (3D) connected nanometer sized cage structure and a 2-dimensional (2D) layered structure composed of a narrow gap semiconductor
Professor Michael Malkoch provides an overview of the unique properties of dendritic molecules and their application in biomedical fields. He highlights bis-MPA dendritic scaffolds as a promising biodegradable and biocompatible platform for drug delivery applications
The conductivity of organic semiconductors can be increased, and the barriers to charge-carrier injection from other materials can be reduced, by the use of highly reducing or oxidizing species to n- or p-dope, respectively, the semiconductor.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques and applications have greatly improved, dermatopathology is still largely based on H&E stained slides.This paper outlines ways in which IHC antibodies can be utilized for dermatopathology.
Professor Yu Cheng and co-workers look at the recent advances of nanoparticle-based imaging contrast agents for in vivo stem cell tracking. They provide an in-depth look at popular in vivo imaging techniques, magnetic resonance imaging, fluorescence imaging, ultrasound imaging, and
For several decades, the need for an environmentally sustainable and commercially viable source of energy has driven extensive research aimed at achieving high efficiency power generation systems that can be manufactured at low cost.
