wet ag/agcl electrodes, although very popular in clinical diagnosis, are not appropriate for expanding applications of wearable biopotential recording systems which are used repetitively and for a long time. here, the development of a low‑cost and low‑noise active dry electrode is presented. the performance of the new electrodes was assessed for recording electrocardiogram (ecg) and electroence...

There is no other naturally occurring defense agent against cancer that has a stronger effectthan paclitaxel, commonly known under the brand name of Taxol®. The major drawback for themore widespread use of paclitaxel and its precious precursor, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DABIII), is that they require large-scale extraction from different parts of yew trees (Taxus species),cell cultures, taxane...
