Applying a Trojan Horse Strategy to Ruthenium Complexes in the Pursuit of Novel Antibacterial Agents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor, Quentin François Antoine Laurent

Siderophores are iron chelators secreted by bacteria to scavenge iron(III) from their surrounding environment. They possess their own internalization pathway that is sufficiently unselective to be hijacked, making them suitable for Trojan Horse strategy ap ...

Iron phosphate nanoparticles for food fortification: Biological effects in rats and human cell lines

Christian Ludwig, Mohamed Tarik

Nanotechnology offers new opportunities for providing health benefits in foods. Food fortification with iron phosphate nanoparticles (FePO4 NPs) is a promising new approach to reducing iron deficiency because FePO4 NPs combine high bioavailability with sup ...

Stereoselective synthesis of alkenes via base-metal-catalyzed addition reactions to alkynes and activation of hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide by iron complexes

Fedor Zhurkin

Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 is a myomitokine governing systemic energy homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Dongryeol Ryu

Reduced mitochondria! electron transport chain activity promotes longevity and improves energy homeostasis via cell-autonomous and non-autonomous factors in multiple model systems. This mitohormetic effect is thought to involve the mitochondrial unfolded p ...

Overhauser-enhanced magnetic resonance elastography

Arnaud Comment, Najat Salameh

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a powerful technique to assess the mechanical properties of living tissue. However, it suffers from reduced sensitivity in regions with short T-2 and T-2* such as in tissue with high concentrations of paramagnetic i ...

Virtual reading of a large ancient handwritten science book

Giorgio Margaritondo, Frédéric Kaplan, Alessandra Patera, Fauzia Albertin, Marco Stampanoni

We present a fundamental development step of a new technique to read and digitize ancient handwritten documents. Chemical analysis by x-ray fluorescence and x-ray tomography enabled us to decipher words and drawings from inside a closed, 200-pages 18 th ce ...

Iron Pincer Complexes as Catalysts and Intermediates in Alkyl Aryl Kumada Coupling Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich, Gerald Bauer

Iron-catalyzed alkylaryl Kumada coupling has developed into an efficient synthetic method, yet its mechanism remains vague. Here, we apply a bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amido pincer ligand (Bopa) to stabilize the catalytically active Fe center, resulting in isola ...
