Irisin evokes bradycardia by activating cardiac-projecting neurons of nucleus ambiguus. [PDF]
Irisin is a newly identified hormone induced in muscle and adipose tissues by physical activity. This protein and its encoding gene have been identified in the brain; in addition, the precursor for irisin, FNDC5, can cross the blood-brain barrier.

Practical Broad-Band Tuning of Dye Lasers by Solvent Shifting [PDF]
We have operated a dye laser over a broad wavelength range (593.8-667.0nm) by shifting the dye emission profile with incremental changes of solvent composition. This was accomplished with the laser operating continuously, and only minor adjustment of the

A pH-sensitive stearoyl-PEG-poly(methacryloyl sulfadimethoxine)-decorated liposome system for protein delivery: an application for bladder cancer treatment [PDF]
Stealth pH-responsive liposomes for the delivery of therapeutic proteins to the bladder epithelium were prepared using methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)5kDa-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (mPEG5kDa-DSPE) and stearoyl-poly(ethylene glycol ...

Synthesis, resolution and crystal structures of two enantiomeric rhodamine derivatives
The title molecule, rac-6′-bromo-3′-diethylamino-3H-spiro[2-benzofuran-1,9′-xanthen]-3-one, C24H20BrNO3, was synthesized and the two enantiomers which formed were separated. The structures of all three compounds were determined and compared with those of

Recent Progress in Small Spirocyclic, Xanthene-Based Fluorescent Probes
The use of fluorescent probes in a multitude of applications is still an expanding field. This review covers the recent progress made in small molecular, spirocyclic xanthene-based probes containing different heteroatoms (e.g., oxygen, silicon, carbon ...

Towards understanding the design of dual-modal MR/fluorescent probes to sense zinc ions [PDF]
A series of gadolinium complexes were synthesised in order to test the design of dual-modal probes that display a change in fluorescence or relaxivity response upon binding of zinc.

Optical Spectral Study of Rhodamine Dyes Mixture Solution in Chloroform [PDF]
The spectral properties (absorption and fluorescence) of laser dyes (Rhodamine6G, Rhodamine 3GO and Rhodamine B) mixture have been studied. This type of laser dye belongs to the Xanthenes family, it has dissolved in chloroform to prepare (1*10-5 M) in ...

Electrostatically gated membrane permeability in inorganic protocells [PDF]
Although several strategies are now available to produce functional microcompartments analogous to primitive cell-like structures, little progress has been made in generating protocell constructs with self-controlled membrane permeability.

Tracer tests represent a well-established method for delineating key environmental processes in various media and engineered systems. Tracers like Rhodamine B and WT are frequently applied due to their strong fluorescence even at low concentrations.. However, due to a lack of ecotoxicological data, limit values for these tracers cannot be determined ...
