Dark matter is presumably made of some new, exotic particle that appears in extensions of the Standard Model. After giving a brief overview of some popular candidates, I discuss in more detail the most appealing case of the supersymmetric neutralino.

the circadian variation of the toxicity and nociceptive activity of aminophylline as an important methylxanthine was studied in mice. the animals were housed under controlled light-dark cycles for at least 2 weeks. acute toxicity was determined by ld50. hot-plate test was used for determination of thermal pain threshold. doses of 200, 250, 280 and 340 mg/kg of aminophylline were injected intrap...

background susceptibility-weighted imaging (swi) is extremely sensitive in the detection of superparamagnetic iron oxide (spio) nanoparticle-labeled cells. however, no study has compared molecular imaging for stem cell detection using swi and other mri pulse sequences. objectives this study aims to assess the sensitivity of swi in detecting spio nanoparticle-labeled, human bone marrow-derived m...
