چکیده

A terbium complex has been designed that may be used to sensitise formation of singlet oxygen (phi(em) 12%), allowing the creation of a ratiometric sensory system for pO(2) (versus the insensitive Eu analogue) and the definition of a reactive probe that can be used to cause local damage to cells loaded with the complex and exposed to laser excitation.

Studies on Genotoxic Effects of Mobile Phone Radiation on A375 Cells

Introduction: Radiation from cell phones has been associated with an increased risk of cancer. The literature has reported evidence of certain biological effects resulting from exposure to various wavelengths, doses, and intensities of radiofrequency radiation. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible adverse effects of radiation from a GSM mobile phone operating at 900 MHz on human mel...

Reactive oxygen species generation and use of antioxidants during in vitro maturation of oocytes: a Review

In vitro maturation (IVM) is emerging as a popular technology at the forefront of fertility treatment and preservation. However, standard in vitro culture conditions usually increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been implicated as one of the major causes for reduced embryonic developmental competence. It is well-known that higher than physiological levels of ROS triggers granulosa ...
