The Charge transport in desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is being intensively investigated in view of its biological implications in damage and repair, protein bonding, and envisioned integration in future (bio)electronics or DNA-based chips. Notwithstanding, despite sustained efforts to unveil the nature and range of charge transfer in these biomolecules, present knowledge lacks stable foundations...

Obesity Research Cluster 2nd Annual Meeting and Poster competition

Objectives: Macrophages are determinant cells for atherosclerotic lesion formation. The objectives of this study were to incorporate macrophage target ligands on the surface of biocompatible and biodegradable epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-loaded nanoparticles (Enano), to evaluate their target specificity to macrophages and antiatherogenic effects in vitro and in vivo. Method: The target speci...

Development of 99mTc-N4-NIM for Molecular Imaging of Tumor Hypoxia

The nitro group of 2-nitroimidazole (NIM) enters the tumor cells and is bioreductively activated and fixed in the hypoxia cells. 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (N4) has shown to be a stable chelator for (99m)Tc. The present study was aimed to develop (99m)Tc-cyclam-2-nitroimidazole ((99m)Tc-N4-NIM) for tumor hypoxia imaging. N4-NIM precursor was synthesized by reacting N4-oxalate and 1,3-dib...
