Chalcopyrite-type CuInS2-based alloyed fluorescent nanocrystals (NCs), which contain no regulated heavy metal ions, were synthesized by heating an organometallic solution to demonstrate optical property tunability. Introduction of Zn into the CuInS2 system enhanced their photoluminescence (PL) intensity. The resultant particles 3−6 nm; they varied with experimental conditions and discrete colloidally stable. band-gap energy PL wavelength Zn-Cu-In-S (ZCIS) NCs content particle size. Their was...
A micro-reactor was utilized for continuous and controlled CdSe nanocrystal preparation. Effects of reaction conditions on optical properties the nanocrystals were investigated; in this current system, rapid exact temperature control beneficial controlling particle diameter reproducible preparation particles; additional effort made towards narrower particle-size distributions.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most aggressive female reproductive tract tumors. Paclitaxel (PTX) widely used for treatment ovarian cancer. However, cancers often acquire chemotherapeutic resistance to this agent. We investigated mechanism chemoresistance by analysis microRNAs using cell line KFr13 and its PTX-resistant derivative (KFr13Tx). found that miR-31 was downregulated in KFr13Tx cells, re-introduction miR31 re-sensitized them PTX both vitro vivo. bind 3'-UTR mRNA MET, decrease MET...
Enzymes are biocatalysts. They useful in environmentally friendly production processes and have high potential for industrial applications. However, because of problems with operational stability, cost, catalytic efficiency, many enzymatic limited The use cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) has been introduced as an effective carrier-free immobilization method. This method is attractive it simple robust, unpurified enzymes can be used. Coimmobilization different achieved. CLEAs generally...
ZnS-coated CdSe composite particles have been continuously synthesized in a microfluidic reactor.
