Application

  • Yttrium(III) chloride hexahydrate: This compound is extensively used in the synthesis of yttrium-based materials, including phosphors and ceramics. It acts as a precursor for yttrium iron garnets, crucial components in electronic and optical devices due to their magnetic properties. Additionally, its use in catalysis and materials science research is notable, especially where high purity yttrium is required (Sigma-Aldrich, CAS 10025-94-2).

The emergence of the technology-critical-element yttrium as a contaminant in the environment raises concern regarding its toxicological impact on living organisms. The molecular mechanisms underlying yttrium toxicity must be delineated. We considered the genomic phenotyping of a mutant collection of

Soluble inositol polyphosphates are found in many cells. The trisphosphate isomers, mainly inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, have been extensively studied because of their involvement in signal transduction. However, higher phosphorylated inositols are less frequently studied and their physiological role is poorly understood. Among
