phamide, and Rituximab Versus FCR Alone in Subjects With Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia] study).8 If the results of this pivotal trial confirm the findings of Byrd et al,7 it will have an important influence on the treatment strategy of patients with CLL. In recent years, 4 drug combination therapies with FCR and alemtuzumab or FCR and mitoxantrone in refractory/relapsed CLL patients wer...

Photovoltaic Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) Fabricated by Silver Nanoclusters-Decorated TiO2 Electrode via Photochemical Reduction Technique

In this investigation, Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was prepared by deposition of silver nanoclusters onto commercial TiO2 nanoparticles (known as P25 TiO2) via photodeposition technique as clean and simple photochemical route. The synthesized Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was utilized in the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) chiefly because, compared ...

A globin in every cell?

A crucial requirement of metabolically active aerobic cells is a steady supply of oxygen. The red pigment of vertebrate skeletal muscle, oxygen-binding myoglobin (Mb), serves this function by facilitating the delivery of O2 from the plasma membrane to the energy-producing mitochondria (1). The delivery of O2 from lungs or gills to muscles is also very efficient because of the cooperative loadin...
