Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), a known enhancer of collagen deposition, has also been identified as an inhibitor of elastogenesis. Present studies explored whether and how the L-ascorbic acid derivative (+) sodium L-ascorbate (SA) would affect production of collagen and elastic
A novel label-free nanosensor has been developed for detecting biothiols including cysteine, glutathione and homocysteine based on poly(thymine)-templated fluorescent copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), which were controlled through thymine-Hg(II)-thymine coordination. This assay provides a simple, cost-effective, and sensitive platform for the detection

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock (HS) can be associated with coagulopathy and inflammation, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. We hypothesized that a combination of TBI and HS would disturb coagulation, damage the endothelium, and activate inflammatory and
