Gelatin hydrogels find broad medical application. The current materials, however, are from animal sources, and their molecular structure and thermal properties cannot be controlled. This study ...

A high-sensitivity and fast-response relative humidity (RH) sensor based on a fiber-tip interferometer coated with agarose gel is proposed and demonstrated. To fabricate the interferometer, focusing ...

Aspartame has been linked to pediatric and adolescent migraines. Upon ingestion, aspartame is broken, converted, and oxidized into formaldehyde in various tissues. The authors present a case of ...

Formaldehyde is known to form chemical adducts with nucleic acids and proteins. These adducts have been found to be difficult to remove by normal metabolic pathways; hence, accumulation may occur.

Fiber electrodes provide interesting opportunities for energy storage by providing both mechanical flexibility and the opportunity to impart multifunctionality to fabrics. We show here carbon nanotube ...

The RNA was quantified by measuring absorbance at 260/280 nm with a spectrophotometer and the quality was examined by electrophoresis on a 1.2% formaldehyde agarose gel. 10 µg of total RNA was treated ...
