Researchers have just created a new super-heavy isotope of seaborgium, called seaborgium-257. This type of unstable atom does not exist naturally on Earth. Seaborgium-257 lasts for ...

Platinum-based anticancer drugs are actively developed utilizing lipophilic ligands or drug carriers for the efficient penetration of biomembranes, reduction of side effects, and tumor targeting. We ...

The synthetic route of partially β-halogenated via a “metal-assisted” reaction and perhalogenated terbium complexes is described. This protocol allows the facile insertion of the halogens (bromines or ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

A federal vaccine panel recently reshaped by US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has voted to discourage the use of ...

Echocardiography and fluoroscopy are the main techniques for prosthetic heart valve (PHV) evaluation, but because of specific limitations they may not identify the morphological substrate or the ...

Almost everything on Earth is made up of atoms, but where do these fundamental building blocks come from?
