In this paper we present experimental results describing electrical readout of the mechanical vibratory response of graphene-doped fibers by employing electrical actuation. For a fiber resonator with an approximate radius of 850 nm and length of 100 μm, we observed a resonance
Recently a polymer crowder and two protein crowders were found to have opposite effects on the folding stability of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2), suggesting that they interact differently with CI2. Here we propose that all the macromolecular crowders act similarly

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a local tumour treatment accepted for a number of indications. PDT operates via the cellular stress response through the production of reactive oxygen species and subsequent cellular damage, resulting in cell death. Although PDT-induced signalling and

The toxicity of manufactured silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been widely studied, but the influence of AgNPs on the major ions (such as sodium [Na] and calcium [Ca]) regulations are unknown. In the present study, a freshwater cladoceran Daphnia magna was
Both bulk crystals and nanocrystals of two helical complexes, [Cu(μ2-L)(H2O)]n (1) and {[Cu(μ2-L)(H2O)]·2H2O}n (2) (H2L = thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid), have been synthesized with the chiralities of right-handedness (1) and left-handedness (2), respectively. 4-Cyanopyridine and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) have been applied to control
