1. How do cells obtain the energy they need to function? 2. What compound is phosphorylated for ATP formation? What is the resulting compound when ATP releases energy? All of the energy in the food we eat is produced when organelles ...
The shape of biological matter is central to cell function at different length scales and determines how cellular components recognize, interact and respond to one another. However, their shapes are often transient and hard to reprogramme. Here we constr
Hydrogen can be used as an anti-cancer treatment. However, the continuous generation of H2molecules within the tumor is challenging. Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been extensively used in the clinic as implantable metals. Here we develop, by decorating platinum on the surface of Mg rods,...
Briefly, 30.4 mg sodium oleate was dissolved in 1 mL methanol to obtain 100 mM stock solution. 2.2. Cell culture and treatment HepG2 cells purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD, USA) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 2 mM glutamine (Gibco BRL), 1% penicillin...
Besides, some substances are resistant to being stained by dyes, such as some carbohydrates, causing the difficulty to obtain the distinct images of these substances [26]. Fluorescence techniques based on fluorescent labels or autofluorescence are also used for visualization of intracellular molecules. ...
In recent years, stem cell therapy has become a very promising and advanced scientific research topic. The development of treatment methods has evoked great expectations. This paper is a review focused on the discovery of different stem cells and the pot
Owing to the improved hole transfer rate, and the balanced charge transport in multi-component BHJs, quaternary OSCs obtain excellent PCEs of 17.71% in the opaque devices and 13.02% in semitransparent devices with a plant growth factor of 26.3%, superior to that of OSCs with the host binary...
after which time the animals were dried and returned to their cages. Hepatocytes were collected by collagenase perfusion to obtain cells ready for harvesting after two hours from heat shock. Cells were washed in cold PBS and frozen as a pellet at -70°C until RNA isolation. For RT-PCR analy...
As expected, this value is several orders of magnitude off the theoretical value, underlining that it is not feasible to obtain a meaningful CND concentration based on TEM analysis. Concentration determination by using the nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) was ...
To obtain more information with respect to chronic colitis, we further studied the role of CS supplementation in chronic DSS-induced colitis and IL-10-knockout colitis mice model. In chronic colitis mice model induced by persistent 1% DSS feeding for 33 days, the clinical signs of colitis, inc...
