To test the method, researchers deployed 12-inch discs with the resin beads sandwiched between fine mesh in various marine environments near San Diego, including seagrass meadows and rocky reefs. Next ...

Scientists have developed a method for rapidly discovering potential cancer-treating compounds that work by resurrecting anti-tumor activity in immune cells called T cells. Cancerous tumors often ...

A team of chemists from RUDN University suggested a universal method to synthesize thienoindolizine derivatives. Because of their special properties, these substances can be used to manufacture ...

To date, many screening methods for isolating microbes which produce value-added compounds have been developed, most of which are based on phenotypes (biological, chemical, and physiological ...

Changing the chemistry of a compound is difficult by itself, but modifying materials only a few atoms thick is its own challenge. A group of University of Chicago scientists announced an innovative ...

Drug-induced QT interval prolongation and Torsades de Pointes (TdP) arrhythmias are the leading causes for drug withdrawals from market and compound attrition during drug development. To assess ...

Over the last three decades, the rubber process analyzer has evolved as the processability test instrument of choice for measuring and solving many rubber factory problems. Also, a new ASTM reflective ...
