Anomalous behavior of a polymeric amino ester

Poly(amino ester)s-Based Polymeric Gene Carriers in Cancer Gene Therapy

A report of anomalous renal blood supply

Vascular variations and the accidental cutting of veins and arteries potentially create problems during surgery and medical treatment. The surgeon's awareness of a vascular variation in the kidneys is essential during renal surgery and transplantation, color Doppler imaging, gonadal surgery and in the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurism. This awareness can improve the patient's recove...

A bioreducible linear poly(β-amino ester) for siRNA delivery.

Described here is the synthesis and characterization of a novel, bioreducible linear poly(β-amino ester) designed to condense siRNA into nanoparticles and efficiently release it upon entering the cytoplasm. Delivery of siRNA using this polymer achieved near-complete knockdown of a fluorescent marker gene in primary human glioblastoma cells with no cytotoxicity.

A Crystallization-Induced Asymmetric Transformation using Racemic Phenyl Alanine Methyl Ester Derivatives as Versatile Precursors to Prepare Amino Acids

L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa are the precursors in the biological synthesis of amine neurotransmitters. On the other hand, phenylalanine as an aromatic amino acid (AAA) is a precursor in the synthesis of L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa. For some substrates such as amino acids, resolution by the formation of diastereomers offers an attractive alternative. Among different methods in this case, crystallization-ind...

Anomalous Frictional Behavior in Collisions of Thin

We report collision experiments with Delrin disks and a steel plate. The disks floated air table, and collided at low speeds with a thick plate clamped to the table. The collisio was varied. The observed normal restitution was consistent with other studies. The fri interaction di ered from that reported for spheres and thick disks, and from predict standard rigid-body collision models. For ‘sli...
