β-pyrophosphate: A potential biomaterial for dental applications [PDF]
, 2017 Tooth hypersensitivity is a growing problem affecting both the young and ageing population worldwide. Since an effective and permanent solution is not yet available, we propose a new methodology for the restoration of dental enamel using femtosecond ...

Chemosensors, 2021 In this paper, a novel NL-Fe3+ ensemble was designed as a fluorescent chemosensor for highly selective detection of pyrophosphate (PPi) in DMSO/H2O (2:8/v:v, pH = 7.2) solution and living cells. NL showed a strong affinity for Fe3+ and was accompanied by

Sensors, 2021 Copper (II) ions have been shown to greatly improve the chemical stability and peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). Since the affinity between Cu2+ and pyrophosphate (PPi) is higher than that between Cu2+ and AuNCs, the catalytic ...

ZrP2O7 as a Cathodic Material in Single-Chamber MFC for Bioenergy Production
Nanomaterials, 2022 The present work is the first investigation of the electrocatalytic performances of ZrP2O7 as a cathode in a single-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) for the conversion of chemical energy from wastewater to bioelectricity. This catalyst was prepared by a

Absolute Quantitation of Cardiac 99mTc-Pyrophosphate Using Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride–Based SPECT/CT
Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2020 The primary aims of this study were to determine the correlation between absolute quantitative 99mTc-pyrophosphate metrics and traditional measures of cardiac amyloid burden and to measure the intraobserver repeatability of the quantitative metrics ...

It Takes a Village: Multimodality Imaging of Cardiac Amyloidosis
Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal, 2022 Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is the buildup and infiltration of amyloid plaque in cardiac muscle. An underdiagnosed form of restrictive cardiomyopathy, CA can rapidly progress into heart failure.

Ratiometric fluorescent sensing of pyrophosphate with sp³-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsInorganic pyrophosphate is a key molecule in many biological processes from DNA synthesis to cell metabolism. Here we introduce sp ^3-functionalized (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with red-shifted defect emission as near-infrared ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The vacuolar-type H+-pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase) catalyzes a coupled reaction of pyrophosphate (PPi) hydrolysis and active proton translocation across the tonoplast. Overexpression of H+-PPase improves growth in various plant species, and loss-of-function
