[CrIII8MII6]12+ Coordination Cubes (MII=Cu, Co)**

[Cr(III)8M(II)6](12+) (M(II) =Cu, Co) coordination cubes were constructed from a simple [Cr(III) L3 ] metalloligand and a "naked" M(II) salt. The flexibility in the design proffers the potential to tune the physical properties, as all the constituent parts of the cage can be changed without structural alteration. Computational techniques (known in theoretical nuclear physics as statistical spec...

Peripheral Templation Generates an MII 6L4 Guest‐Binding Capsule

Pseudo-octahedral M(II) 6 L4 capsules result from the subcomponent self-assembly of 2-formylphenanthroline, threefold-symmetric triamines, and octahedral metal ions. Whereas neutral tetrahedral guests and most of the anions investigated were observed to bind within the central cavity, tetraphenylborate anions bound on the outside, with one phenyl ring pointing into the cavity. This binding conf...

DNase I activity in pig MII oocytes: implications in transgenesis.

Several reliable methods to produce transgenic animals utilize the male genome. After penetration into oocyte, sperm DNA undergoes dramatic conformational changes that could represent a great opportunity for exogenous DNA to be integrated in the zygote genome. Among the enzymes responsible for sperm remodeling, a nuclease could be involved. The presence of a DNase I in oocytes has not been much...

Mii-vitaliSe: a pilot randomised controlled trial of a home gaming system (Nintendo Wii) to increase activity levels, vitality and well-being in people with multiple sclerosis

OBJECTIVES While the health and well-being benefits of physical activity are recognised, people with multiple sclerosis (MS) often face greater barriers than the general population. The Nintendo Wii potentially offers a fun, convenient way of overcoming some of these. The aim was to test the feasibility of conducting a definitive trial of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Mii-vitaliSe...
