Glycolic acid is an attractive raw material which is used as a dyeing and tanning agent in the textile industry, a flavoring agent and preservative in the food processing industry, and a skin care agent in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also utilized for the production of polyglycolic acid and other biocompatible copolymers. Glycolic acid can be isolated from natural sources, such as sugarc...

Nanoparticle formulation is a recently developed drug delivery technology with enhanced targeting potential. Nanoparticles encapsulate the of choice and delivers it to target via molecules (ex. antigen) located on nanoparticle surface. can even be targeted deeply penetrating tissue modeled deliver drugs through blood brain barrier. These advancements are providing better disease such as cancer ...

In this study we report the first organic hydrophilic dye employed for 100% water-based electrolyte DSSCs. We show that the replacement of alkyl by glycolic chains in the dye structure is able to provide excellent wettability, resulting in an efficient system with remarkably reduced desorption problems that allowed us to perform tests over a wide pH range. By changing the electrolyte compositio...

A hierarchical support vector regression (SVR) model (HSVRM) was employed to correlate the compositions and mechanical properties of bicomponent stents composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PGLA) film and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) fibers for urethral repair for the first time. PGLA film and PGA fibers could provide ureteral stents with good compressive and tensile properties, respectively....

The studies initiated by Calvin and his colleagues led to the elucidation of a well supported sequence of reactions known as the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle (1). According to this scheme, which was largely deduced from kinetic experiments, ribulose-1,5-di-P is first carboxylated to give 2 molecules of 3-P-glyceric acid as the first stable carboxylation product (2, 3). The experiments ...
