Carnosine aryl derivatives as sequestering agents of RCS: Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) are cytotoxic mediators representing a novel drug target, as they are presumed to play a pathogenic role in several diseases. Carnosine is a selective RCS-sequestering agent, but is

Next-generation sequencing technologies are revolutionizing genomics research. It is now possible to generate gigabase pairs of DNA sequence within a week without time-consuming cloning or massive infrastructure. This technology has recently been applied to the development of 'RNA-seq' techniques for
