Using sophisticated theoretical tools, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) researchers, in Singapore, have identified a way to construct…
Many bugs that make us sick — bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites — hide out in our cells in protective little bubbles called vacuoles. To clear an…
The novel combined power-to-gas & Biogas upgrading Technology is producing high-purity methane, carbon dioxide and water in a single membrane separation system.
Device and method to coat particles and powdres of any size and shape by magnetron sputtering. Even particles <1 μm can be coated and film thicknesses from 0.1 to 100 nm achieved. Use of metal or compound materials for adhesive, wear resistant, conductive and catalytic coatings.
A new and convenient synthesis method has been developed for coupling a ligand (e.g. PEG, peptides) through a cleavable disulfide linkage to an oligonucleotide at the 2´ position of a ribose ring. The resulting oligonucleotide conjugates are taken up efficiently into cells without the need for a transfection agent, and the 2´ OH group modification has
a positive impact on stability, allowing natural (phosphodiester) oligonucleotide sequences to be used. Preliminary in vitro experiments have demonstrated effective target gene down-regulation.
Novel synthetic lignans to affect inflammatory processes related to surgical cardiovascular intervention have been identified. The compounds may have highly beneficial effects for preparation of cardiac by-pass implants as well as for stent conduits.
