Introduction: Nanoparticles have several exciting applications in various fields of biomedicine. It has been found that among different classes of nanoparticles core/shell is most promising for field of nano-medical imaging and therapy due to their distinct advantages. The core/shell type nanoparticles can be generally comprising of two nanoparticles one act as a core (inner ma...

conclusions in psychoactive substance dependents, serum routine biochemistry parameters can be used to predict the need for intensive monitoring and treatment programs. results there was a statistically significant difference in the gamma-glutamyl transferase (ggt), uric acid, creatinine, urea, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (ast) medians between the dependent and control groups (p < 0.05)...

background: in natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. to our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent cr on c. carpio hematology. this study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of trival...

fact (it is alternately stated that the DSCT goes to cerebellum by its superior peduncle and its inferior peduncle); but these are usually easily recognized, and do not detract greatly from the overall value. This slender volume should be most useful to anyone who wants to know about primate spinal cord anatomy, and should be in medical school libraries, neurology, neurosurgery, physiology, psy...

Biochemistry can be defined as the science of the chemical basis of life (Gk bios “life”). The cell is the structural unit of living systems. Thus, biochemistry can also be described as the science of the chemical constituents of living cells and of the reactions and processes they undergo. By this definition, biochemistry encompasses large areas of cell biology, molecular biology, and molecula...

In this study, borate was found to selectively increase the stability of ribose over other aldopentoses. Ribose is the only sugar present in both early RNA-based biochemistry and contemporary DNA-based life, and the stability of ribose is of fundamental concern for determining the origin of early RNA-based biochemistry. The formose reaction is a potential process in the prebiotic synthesis of r...

GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY. By Joseph S. Fruton and Sophia Simmonds. New York, John Wiley and Sons; London, Chapman and Hall, Limited, 1953. xii + 940 pp., illus. $10.00. This excellent textbook, as the title states, treats the subject of biochemistry from a general point of view, rather than from that of agriculture, medicine, or any other applied discipline. Thus the authors have drawn impartially ...
