Engineered tissues are excellent substitutes for treating organ failure associated with disease, injury, and degeneration. Designing new biomaterials with controlled release profiles, good mechanical properties, and cell adhesion characteristics can be useful for the formation of specific functional
The soy phytoestrogen, genistein, induces thymic atrophy when administered to ovariectomized mice by injection or in the diet. Injected genistein also causes decreased humoral immunity, but the effects of genistein on cell-mediated immunity have not been addressed. Here we examined effects of
Long-lived proteins are present in numerous tissues within the human body. With age, they deteriorate, often leading to the formation of irreversible modifications such as peptide bond cleavage and covalent crosslinking. Currently understanding of the mechanism of formation of these crosslinks is
Two NIR emitting platinum [Pt(N^N^C)(phosphine)] and iridium [Ir(N^C)2(N^N)]+, complexes containing reactive succinimide groups were synthesized and characterized with spectroscopic methods (N^N^C - 1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine, N^C - 6-(2-benzothienyl)phenanthridine,
