Insulin-mimetic action of vanadium compounds on osteoblast-like cells in culture
(1997)
Vanadium compounds mimic insulin actions in different cell types. The present study concerns the insulin-like effects of three vanadium(V) derivatives and one vanadium(IV) complex on osteoblast-like (UMR106 and MC3T3E1) ...
Monolayers, bilayers and micelles of zwitterionic lipids as model systems for the study of specific anion effects
(2007)
This work is a review of the effect of different monovalent anions (belonging to the Hofmeister series) on a single model amphiphile, phosphatidylcholine molecules in contact with water, in three different geometries, ...
Identification of a potent activator of Akt phosphorylation from a novel series of phenolic, picolinic, pyridino, and hydroxamic zinc(II) complexes
(2011)
The discovery of small-molecule modulators of signaling pathways is currently a particularly active area of research. We aimed at developing unprecedented metal-based activators of Akt signaling which can potentially find ...
Synthesis, characterization, and DNA adsorption studies of ampholytic model conetworks based on cross-linked star copolymers
(2008)
Five model conetworks based on cross-linked star ampholytic copolymers were synthesized by group transfer polymerization. The ampholytic copolymers were based on two hydrophilic monomers: the positively ionizable ...
Implications of HIV-1 M group polymorphisms on integrase inhibitor efficacy and resistance: Genetic and structural in silico analyses
(2009)
The extensive polymorphisms among HIV-1 subtypes have been implicated in drug resistance development. Integrase inhibitors represent the latest addition to the treatment of HIV-1, and their efficacy and resistance patterns ...
Cationic double-hydrophilic model networks: Synthesis, characterization, modeling and protein adsorption studies
(2003)
Group transfer polymerization (GTP) was used for the preparation of eight networks based on two hydrophilic monomers, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA). Ethylene ...
Monolayer properties of surface-active metalorganic complexes with a tunable headgroup
(2008)
Surface-active metalorganic complexes can be used to construct organic thin films with excellent electronic and catalytic properties. We have recently introduced a new versatile surface-active ligand, which can efficiently ...
Discriminant Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds data related to a new location method of entrapped people in collapsed buildings of an earthquake
(2006)
Discriminant Analysis is used as a part of a research, which aims at using expired air analysis for the early location of entrapped people under the ruins of collapsed buildings in an earthquake. This work focuses on the ...
Enantioanalysis of pipecolic acid with stochastic and potentiometric microsensors
(2013)
Stochastic and potentiometric microsensors based on porphyrins and polymeric surfactants such as polysodium N-undecanoyl- l-leucylvanilate and polysodium N-undecanoyl- l-vanilate were developed for enantioselective assay ...
