The high theoretical capacity of red phosphorus (RP) makes it a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, the large volume change of RP during charging/discharging imposes an adverse effect on the cyclability and the rate performance suffers from its low conductivity. Herein, a facile solution-based strategy is exploited to…[Read more]

Addition of glutathione to give glutathionylated proteins, can be reversed by reducing systems (e.g. tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine), but this does not repair the original disulfide bond. Exposure of human plasma to these modifying agents increases protein glutathionylation, demonstrating potential in vivo relevance. Overall these data provide…[Read more]

This work demonstrates the use of a markerless integrative transformation system to promote lipid accumulation in the diploid yeast without applying nutrient stress and hampering cell growth. The findings of this study will augment the research on lipid metabolic engineering and exploit the enormous potential of C. tropicalis as an industrial…[Read more]

The present study assesses the absorption, pharmacokinetics, and urinary excretion of coffee pyridines and their metabolites after daily regular exposure to specific dosages of coffee or cocoa-based products containing coffee (CBPCC), considering different patterns of consumption.

In a three-arm, crossover, randomized trial, 21 volunteers…[Read more]
