Complete and hazard-free conversion of azo compounds by microorganisms
Have you ever looked around you and paid attention to the colorful products such as clothes, cosmetics, and foods that you purchase? If you wonder where all these colors come from, then you might want to know more about azo dyes.
Effective drug navigation in sepsis
Cell type specific nanoparticles as carriers can bypass side effects on the immune system
Many drug candidates never reach clinical use due to their side effects. For example, inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-γ, a signaling protein that plays an important role in infections, cannot be used because of their side effects on the immune response.
Vitamin D in plants
Detection and identification of vitamin D metabolites in plant sources
A vitamin is defined as an organic molecule essential for health. Indeed, vitamin D has been associated with bone health and with immune-related effects, however a vitamin D deficiency has been associated with chronic diseases and mortality [1].
Organs-on-a-Chip
Chip-based tissue and organ systems for personalized medicine
The aim of personalized medicine (or precision medicine) is to take patients’ personal features into consideration as much as possible for their medical treatment, thereby going beyond the functional diagnosis of the disease. A promising concept that is gaining ever more attention and showing ...
Weighty matters for the European Pharmacopoeia
A new General Chapter addresses balances for analytical purposes
