We prepared a highly sensitive molecularly imprinted fluorescent sensor by using a CdSe quantum dot (QD) as a signal transducer and a mesoporous silica nanoparticle as an imprinting material. Bisphenol-A (BPA) was chosen as a model template, which is known as an endocrine disruptor. Binding sites were selectively form…

The antitumor and immunomodulatory activity of broken-spore of Ganodermalucidum polysaccharides (Gl-BSP) were investigated in vivo and in vitro. It was showed that Gl-BSP (50, 100, and 200 mg kg(-1)) exhibited antitumor effect against Sarcoma 180 (S180) in BALB/c mice. The Gl-BSP was not cytotoxicity in S180 cells and…

BACKGROUND: In eukaryotes, the CMG (CDC45, MCM, GINS) complex containing the replicative helicase MCM is a key player in DNA replication. Archaeal homologs of the eukaryotic MCM and GINS proteins have been identified but until recently no homolog of the CDC45 protein was known. Two recent developments, namely the disc…

The majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system takes place at protrusions along dendrites called spines. Dendritic spines are highly heterogeneous, both morphologically and functionally. Not surprisingly, there has been much speculation and debate on the relationship between spine…

In this study, we investigated bulk-heterojunction solar cells composed of PC(61)BM and squaraine dyes with different donor subunits. Both, H- and J-aggregates, have been observed for the squaraine dyes in the mixture, even for the same dye depending on the annealing conditions of the blends. Supramolecular organizati…

Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles exposed with a remarkable amount (60%) of high-energy (001) facets were synthesized via a fluorine-free hydrothermal route, using K-titanate nanowires as a precursor and urea as a surface regulator. The carbonate ions were found to play a key role in the formation of the exposed (001) facets.
