Shagene A synthesis perfected for leishmaniasis treatment
Just north of Antarctica and a little east of the southern tip of South America is the Scotia Sea. Besides glimpses of an occasional iceberg, these waters offer little to tourists......»»
A divergent strategy enables molecular diversity: Synthesis of nine complex natural compounds
A research group led by chemist Thomas Magauer has accomplished a divergent strategy to synthesize nine complex natural compounds. The developed method requires significantly less time and results in a variety of compounds with different structures a.....»»
Potent new compound has breakthrough potential for parasitic sleeping sickness and Chagas treatment
Scientists have discovered a new class of compound that is potentially active against trypanosome parasites that cause human African trypanosomiasis (or sleeping sickness) and Chagas disease......»»
The premium ThinkPad that outdoes the X1 Carbon in almost every way
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is in its 11th generation and is close to being perfected. Can the upstart ThinkPad Z13 compete?.....»»
Towards synthesis of phenanthridine-based pharmaceutical compounds
Phenanthridines are heterocyclic compounds consisting of two six-membered benzene rings fused to a six-membered ring containing nitrogen. They are found in many naturally occurring organic compounds known for their anticancer and antitumor properties.....»»
Psychedelic Therapy Is Here. Just Don’t Call It Therapy
Psilocybin is on the cusp of becoming legally available in Oregon—but not as a medical treatment......»»
Protective molecules facilitate molybdate anion binding to create novel silver nanoclusters
Silver nanocluster synthesis, or the binding of a silver atom to negatively charged anions, is often plagued by stability, sizing uniformity and surface composition issues. Protective molecules that bind the surface of silver nanoclusters, called lig.....»»
Discovery of a new mechanism that may promote healthy aging of our cells
All biological processes in our cells are constantly monitored to prevent the accumulation of defective proteins. In the worst case, such protein clumps can trigger diseases. The synthesis of new proteins is particularly susceptible to errors. Errono.....»»
Testing antimicrobial resistance in non-typhoidal Salmonella from retail foods collected in 2020 in China
Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a major cause of human salmonellosis globally. Food animals are major NTS reservoirs. An increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in foodborne NTS has led to clinical treatment failures. To examine the prevalence a.....»»
Neanderthal adhesives were made through a complex synthesis process
Birch bark was heated in underground chambers to create a tougher adhesive. Enlarge (credit: Halamka / GETTY IMAGES) As Homo sapiens, we often consider ourselves to be the most intelligent hominins. But that doesn’t me.....»»
Examining impacts of elevated salinity on microbial interactions within activated sludge microbial community
Biological treatment processes are critical for sewage purification, wherein microbial interactions are tightly associated with treatment performance. Previous studies have focused on assessing how environmental factors (such as salinity) affect the.....»»
Lockly Smart Safe review: Convenience with some quirks
With nearly every kind of product getting the smart, connected treatment, it only makes sense that most home safes would go that way too. The Lockly Smart Safe adds wireless convenience to a secure compartment, but its app could use some polish.Lockl.....»»
Microneedle array embedded with ultrasound-triggered antibacterial nanoparticles for acne treatment
A research team led by Professor Kelvin Yeung from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has designed a new microneedle patch to offer a highly-effec.....»»
Researchers invent low-temperature synthesis method for high-quality tellurium nanomesh for next-generation electronics
A collaborative team led by researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently invented an innovative method for synthesizing high-quality, semiconducting nanomesh at a lower temperature and production cost than conventional methods. The.....»»
Light and nickel found to simplify cross-coupling reactions
Cross-coupling reactions—chemical transformations in which two fragments are joined together—are a valuable tool in the synthesis of organic molecules. Applications range from drug development and synthesis of naturally occurring molecules to mat.....»»
Sonodynamic immunotherapy proves effective in pancreatic cancer treatment
Ultrasound is a promising technique for treating cancer. Unlike laser light, used in photodynamic cancer therapy, ultrasound waves can reach deep into tissue—up to 12 cm—to treat deep tumors without damaging healthy cells. A team of researchers r.....»»
Researchers report light-controlled transport of biomolecules across the cell membrane
Crossing the membrane is a major challenge on the journey through the cell. Large biomolecules usually benefit from different transport strategies to overcome the lipid bilayer, so the design and synthesis of new carriers is key for the delivery of h.....»»
