The delivery of therapeutics via nanoscaled vehicles for solid cancer treatment can be enhanced by the incorporation of a targeting capability. Here, we describe a new method for assembling a targeted nanoparticle that utilizes the reversible covalent complexation between boronic acids and diols to

Phenolic compounds were extracted from dried emblic leafflower (Phyllanthus emblica L.) fruits with methanol and separated by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The raw extracts and fractions were analyzed with HPLC coupled with diode array UV spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectromet

Activated vascular wall macrophages can rapidly internalize modified lipoproteins and escalate the growth of atherosclerotic plaques. This article proposes a biomaterials-based therapeutic intervention for depletion of non-regulated cholesterol accumulation and inhibition of inflammation of macropha

… Six new phenolic constituents, L-malic acid 2-O- (1), mucic acid 2-O- (5), mucic acid 1, 4-lactone 2-O- (6), 5-O- (8), 3-O- (10), and 3, 5-di-O- (11) gallates, were isolated from the fruit juice of Phyllanthus emblica together with their methyl esters (2-4, 7, 9), and their structures were determined by spectral and chemical methods. …
… Japanese art song, defined as composed vocal mucic dating to the Meiji era that has Japanese lyrics and is based on Western musical principles and singing style, is often criticized because the words are difficult to understand in performance. …
