Quantitative analysis of vacuolar areas in the spinal cord showed a strong correlation with hind limb crossing sign scores. In conclusion, evaluation of plasma -SHp levels allowed us to detect individuals at risk for health damage and could protect the sensitive population against MeHg toxicity.The nitrate content of the most consumed green leafy…[Read more]

Chimpanzees are the species most closely related to humans, yet age-related changes in brain and cognition remain poorly understood. The lack of studies on age-related changes in cognition in chimpanzees is particularly unfortunate in light of the recent evidence demonstrating that this species naturally develops Alzheimer’s disease (AD)…[Read more]

The singlet oxygen generation capability of the compounds were evaluated and 2,6-bromine substituted compounds AA1 and CC1 showed high singlet oxygen quantum yields (71% and 74%, respectively). Enhanced photophysical properties such as intense absorption, extended conjugation and singlet oxygen production make the investigated aza-BODIPYs…[Read more]

We show how an asymmetric elasto-magnetic system provides a novel integrated pumping solution for lab-on-a-chip and point of care devices. This monolithic pumping solution, inspired by Purcell’s 3-link swimmer, is integrated within a simple microfluidic device, bypassing the requirement of external connections. We experimentally prove that this…[Read more]
