Larvae of an African chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki, which live in temporal rock pools, are completely dehydrated when the pools dry up and undergo anhydrobiosis until the next rain comes. During the dehydration process, larvae accumulate large amounts of trehalose, which provides effective protection against desiccation because of its high capacity for water replacement and vitrification...

bio-directed synthesis of nanoparticles is an interesting field of rapid advancement for biologists,chemists and materials scientists, especially in light of efforts to find out green methods of inorganicmaterial synthesis. in the present study, green synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (ptnps) using sheepmilk is reported for the first time. by adjusting the concentrations of chloroplatinic aci...

One-pot Fischer indolisation indole N-alkylation enables straightforward, rapid synthesis of structurally-diverse 1,2,3-trisubstituted indoles from simple, widely-available precursors.

In H4IIE rat hepatoma cells insulin interacts with its receptors to induce DNA synthesis and promote cell division. However, the postreceptor events that lead to DNA synthesis and cell division have not been well characterized. Previous studies indicate that insulin can regulate the expression of several genes in H4 cells. One of these genes is the proto-oncogene c-fos, a cellular gene whose de...

Celecoxib is classified as none traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This compound has conventional properties of NSAIDs such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities beside reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effect of traditional NSAIDs such as ibuprofen. This compound gets a second sale rank of NSAIDs market at 2016 in the world and sales more than ...

A rapid and facile synthesis of cubic MCM-48 mesoporous material based on the modification of Stöber synthesis in as little time as 30 minutes at room temperature is reported in this communication.

   The use of plant extracts for nanoparticles synthesis are green, economical and cost effective approach.  The present study reports the bio-synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using leaf extract of Terminalia arjuna. After exposing the gold ions to aqueous solution of leaf extract, rapid reduction of gold ions into gold nanoparticles is observed within few minutes. The characterizat...

The Myco silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are synthesized through bio-reduction reaction of silver nitrate by cell-free filtrate of endophytic fungi, which act as both reducing and capping agent. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was confirmed through UV-VIS spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
