General description

Lanthanum(III) chloride is an inorganic halide that exhibits good ionic conductivity and unique optical properties. It is widely used to prepare lanthanum nanomaterials and as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

Application

Lanthanum(III) chloride can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize carbon fiber/carbon nanotube hybrids.
  • As a catalyst along with chloroacetic acid, for the rapid synthesis ofxanthene derivatives.

Signalling events mediated by connexins and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) have important roles in bystander effects induced by ionising radiation. However, whether these proteins mediate bystander effects independently or cooperatively has not been investigated. Bystander normal human fibroblasts were cocultured with irradiated

The cochlear lateral wall generates the endocochlear potential (EP), which creates a driving force for the hair cell transduction current and is essential for normal hearing. Blood flow at the cochlear lateral wall is critically important for maintaining the EP.

The anoxia-dependent elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, [Ca(2+)](cyt), was investigated in plants differing in tolerance to hypoxia. The [Ca(2+)](cyt) was measured by fluorescence microscopy in single protoplasts loaded with the calcium-fluoroprobe Fura 2-AM. Imposition of anoxia led to a fast
