Ecological restoration is key to counteracting anthropogenic degradation of biodiversity and to reducing disaster risk. However, there is limited knowledge of barriers hindering the wider implementation of restoration practices...
BACKGROUND: Integration and analysis of phenotype data from humans and model organisms is a key challenge in building our understanding of normal biology and pathophysiology. However, the range of phenotypes and anatomical...
Modern imaging techniques, particularly functional imaging techniques that interrogate some specific aspect of underlying tumor biology, have enormous potential in neuro-oncology for disease detection, grading, and tumor...
Owing to their bioorthogonality, transition metals have become very popular in the development of biocompatible bond-cleavage reactions. However, many approaches require design and synthesis of complex ligands or formulation of...
Tripodal ligands with main group bridghead units are well established in coordination chemistry and single-site organometallic catalysis. Although a large number of tris(2-pyridyl) main group ligands [E(2-py)3] (E = main group...
The influence of paramagnetic Ln3+ ions on the NMR behaviour is investigated via a series of new isostructural lanthanide-containing cages with the general formula [LnTi6O3(OiPr)9(salicylate)6] (Ln-1, Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm...
The unsymmetric PIII/PV cyclodiphosphazane framework [(S[double bond, length as m-dash])(H)P(μ-NtBu)2PNHtBu] (2) provides entry into the mixed chalgogenide dianion [(S)P(μ-NtBu)2P(Se)NtBu]2-, and unique insight into the...
The reaction of the bis(methoxy)-2-pyridyl-phosphine (MeO)2P(2-py) (1) with [Ni(MeCN)6](BF4)2 leads to the unexpected single-step reduction of NiII and the formation of a tetrahedral nickel(0) complex...
Deprotonation of the thialdiphosphazane [S[double bond, length as m-dash]PH(μ-N(t)Bu)]2 with a range of metal-bases gives the stable dianion [S-P(μ-N(t)Bu)]2(2-), which is valence-isoelectronic with the widely-used...
Genomic integrity is preserved by the action of protein complexes that control DNA homeostasis. These include the sliding clamps, trimeric protein rings that are arranged around DNA by clamp loaders. Replication factor C (RFC)...
AbstractBackgroundA considerable portion of the HIV pandemic is composed of people under antiretroviral therapy, many of whom get a late diagnosis. Patients...
