The advent of nuclear spins hyperpolarization techniques represents a breakthrough in the field of medical diagnoses by magnetic resonance imaging. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is the most widely used method, and hyperpolarized metabolites such as [1-(13)C]-pyruvate are shown to report

Understanding the mode of action of carcinogens is critical to scientifically assessing exposure-related risk. Regulatory hazard classification schemes and dose-response assessment paradigms generally require basic knowledge of genotoxic potential to guide decisions on which scheme or paradigm is most appropriate.

Utilization of palladium catalysts bearing a P-chiral phosphine-sulfonate ligand enabled asymmetric copolymerization of vinyl acetate with carbon monoxide. The obtained γ-polyketones have head-to-tail and isotactic polymer structures. The origin of the regio- and stereoregularities was elucidated by stoichiometric reactions of
