Fe8-Based MRI Contrast Agents Targeted to Breast and Ovarian Cancer Cells
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CA’s) are of great interest for cancer imaging as a complementary tool in cancer diagnosis. Tumor-targeting MRI-CA conjugates based on an [Fe8O4(pz)12Cl4] paramagnetic ... -
Identification and Characterization of EFhd2 Phosphorylation
EFhd2 is a calcium binding protein highly expressed in the central nervous system. Previous studies indicated that EFhd2 is associated to pathological forms of the microtubule- associated protein tau in JNPL3 tauopathy ... -
New Ferrocene Chalcones Derivative's Polymers
Polymers represent the largest and versatile class of biomaterials being extensively applied in multiple biomedical applications. This versatility is attributed to the relative ease with which polymers can be designed and ... -
Pt and Pt-Ir Nanoparticles Supported on Carbon Allotropes for Ammonia Oxidation
This thesis summarizes the development, preparation and characterization of novel noble metal electrocatalysts using the improved dispersion, conductivity, and activity provided by three carbon supports, boron doped diamond ... -
Study of Silicon Nitrate and Tin Dioxide Carbon Nanotube Composite as Lithium-ion Battery Anode, Gas Sensor and the Self-Assembly of Carbon Nanotubes on Copper Substrates
Carbon nanotubes since their discovery have been used for many applications. They are predicted to reinforce novel composite materials because of their structural perfection, excellent mechanical properties and low ... -
Syntheses and Characterization of Ferrocenyl Chalcones
Bioorganometallic chemistry was revolutionized with the inclusion of the ferrocene moiety in well-known organic molecules. Ferrocene derivatives have gained importance due to their excellent stability in aqueous, aerobic ... -
The Characterization of Excited States and Reactive Intermediates in the Photosensibilization of Alkylating Quinones to Produce Dna Covalent Adducts
Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US. About 1,600 people per day are expected to die of cancer in 2014. Cancer have no cure. Many treatments have been developed to treat this group of diseases, ... -
The Search for Supramolecular Catalysis Using Supramolecular Guanine Quadruplexes.
The field of supramolecular chemistry is a fast growing one overlapping the interfaces of chemistry - biology and chemistry - physics. This study examines how the mAG scaffold can be furthered converted into a ... -
The Study of Amphiphysin-1 Protein Level Reduction in Tau-mediated Neurodegeneration
Tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease, are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the aggregation of pathologically modified tau proteins in human brains. Although several hypotheses have been proposed, ...
