Chromium (III) complexes and their relationship to the glucose tolerance factor : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at Massey University [PDF]
Two forms of the dinicotinate complex Cr(nic)2(H2O)3OH were formed which were yellow and blue, respectively. For the yellow form the nicotinic acid ligands were coordinated via the pyridine ring nitrogen atom but this complex was biologically inactive ...

Identification of critical residues in loop E in the 5-HT(3AS)R binding site [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The serotonin type 3 receptor (5-HT(3)R) is a member of a superfamily of ligand gated ion channels. All members of this family share a large degree of sequence homology and presumably significant structural similarity.

This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

Coordination of opposing sex-specific and core muscle groups regulates male tail posture during Caenorhabditis elegans male mating behavior [PDF]
Background To survive and reproduce, animals must be able to modify their motor behavior in response to changes in the environment. We studied a complex behavior of Caenorhabditis elegans, male mating behavior, which provided a model for understanding ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

The use of isotopic carbon in a study of the metabolism of anthanilic acid in Neurospora [PDF]
The finding by Tatum, Banner, and Beadle (l), that the tryptophanless Neurospora mutant strain 10575 accumulates anthranilic acid, which in turn can be utilized for growth of strain 40008, has provided evidence that anthranilic acid is a biochemical ...

Apoptotic Bodies Restore NAD and Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Fibroblasts
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived apoptotic bodies (MSC‐ABs) target keloid fibroblasts (KFs), restoring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism and mitochondrial function, suppressing collagen overproduction, and rebalancing tissue homeostasis, offering a novel therapy for keloid.

Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons [PDF]
Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain

Metal–Organic Frameworks: Unlocking New Frontiers in Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), are composed of metal ions and bridging organic ligands, are recognized as an excellent platform for host‐gust chemistry. Its rich structural composition, modifiable sites, and multilevel pore distribution can provide delivery and release of signaling molecules, probes, and therapeutic drugs, which exhibit great medical

A novel α-conotoxin, PeIA, cloned from Conus pergrandis, discriminates between Rat α9α10 and α7 nicotinic cholinergic receptors [PDF]
The α9 and α10 nicotinic cholinergic subunits assemble to form the receptor believed to mediate synaptic transmission between efferent olivocochlear fibers and hair cells of the cochlea, one of the few examples of postsynaptic function for a non-muscle ...
