Graphdiyne: Recent Achievements in Photo- and Electrochemical Conversion

Strong Field-Induced Frequency Conversion of Laser Radiation in Plasma Plumes: Recent Achievements

New findings in plasma harmonics studies using strong laser fields are reviewed. We discuss recent achievements in the growth of the efficiency of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation sources based on frequency conversion of the ultrashort pulses in the laser-produced plasmas, which allowed for the spectral and structural studies of matter through the high-order harmonic generation (HHG...

Stroke prevention: recent achievements and new challenges

Stroke remains a major health problem despite the great efforts made worldwide to fight against it. Despite therapeutic achievements to treat ischemic stroke patients in stroke units with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), prevention remains the most powerful strategy to cure this complex disease. Stroke is a heterogeneous and multi-factorial disease caused by the combination of vascular risk ...

Canonical HSC Markers and Recent Achievements

Polymeric Prodrugs: Recent Achievements and General Strategies

Improving the therapeutic index of drugs is a major impetus for innovation in many therapeutic areas. Conventional drug delivery systems (tablets, capsules, pills, suppositories, creams, ointments, liquids, aerosols and injectables, as drug carriers) involving a number of non-specific administrations of a drug may have contraindications such as variable drug concentrations and excessive drug pr...

Cancer biomarker detection: recent achievements and challenges.

The early detection of cancer can significantly reduce cancer mortality and saves lives. Thus, a great deal of effort has been devoted to the exploration of new technologies to detect early signs of the disease. Cancer biomarkers cover a broad range of biochemical entities, such as nucleic acids, proteins, sugars, small metabolites, and cytogenetic and cytokinetic parameters, as well as entire ...
