The efficient synthesis has been described to achieve a new class of ladder π-conjugated molecules, B,N-bridged p-terphenyls. The bridging B atom exhibits a more significant effect than the bridging N atom on photophysical properties.

We report rational design of amphiphilic polymers capable of making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) highly water dispersible and resistant to biofouling; such CNTs can be conjugated with bioactive molecules so as to be potential drug delivery vehicles.

elevated serum level of bilirubin is a common manifestation which is occurred in several diseases. hyperbilirubinemia can manifest either conjugated or unconjugated. conjugated or direct hyperbilirubinemia usually are caused by hepatocellular diseases or cholestatic liver diseases. merely conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is the main manifestation of two congenital syndromes, including dubin-johnso...

Cross-conjugated molecules are known to exhibit destructive quantum interference, a property that has recently received considerable attention in single-molecule electronics. Destructive quantum interference can be understood as an antiresonance in the elastic transmission near the Fermi energy and leading to suppressed levels of elastic current. In most theoretical studies, only the elastic co...

NHL is the most common hematologic cancer in adults. Rituximab is the FDA approved treatment of relapsed or refractory low grade B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). But patients eventually become resistant to rituximab. Since lymphocytes and lymphoma cells are highly radiosensitive, low grade NHL that has relapsed or refractory to standard therapy is treated by RIT in which a beta-emitting radio...

A new signal amplification strategy based on simultaneous application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was employed to improve the sensitivity of an electrochemical immunoassay for detection of human IgG (hIgG), as a model antigenic protein. This immunoassay system was fabricated on magnetic carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNT/Fe3...

New lipid conjugates of DNA and RNA incorporating one to four [(4-dodecylphenyl)sulfonyl]phosphoramidate or (hexadecylsulfonyl)phosphoramidate groups at internucleotidic positions near the 3? 5?-end were synthesized characterized. Low cytotoxicity their ability be taken up into cells without transfection agents demonstrated. Lipid-conjugated siRNAs targeting repulsive guidance molecules a (RGMa...
