When Current Does Not Follow Bonds: Current Density in Saturated Molecules

Time - dependent current - density - functional theory for molecules

Current prostate cancer treatment: Not what but when?

AMPA receptor current density, not desensitization, predicts selective motoneuron vulnerability.

Spinal motoneurons are more susceptible to AMPA receptor-mediated injury than are other spinal neurons, a property that has been implicated in their selective degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this study was to determine whether this difference in vulnerability between motoneurons and other spinal neurons can be attributed to a difference in AMPA receptor desensiti...

Thymic carcinoma: current staging does not predict prognosis.

BACKGROUND Thymic carcinomas are currently staged by Masaoka classification, a staging system for thymomas. We retrospectively evaluated surgical patients with thymic carcinoma to determine prognostic factors and to evaluate the usefulness of Masaoka staging in this disease. METHODS Our computerized tumor registry yielded 118 patients with thymoma. Review of pathologic material revealed 43 ca...

Passing current through touching molecules.

The charge flow from a single C(60) molecule to another one has been probed. The conformation and electronic states of both molecules on the contacting electrodes have been characterized using a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope. While the contact conductance of a single molecule between two Cu electrodes can vary up to a factor of 3 depending on electrode geometry, the conductance of the...
