Advances could spur treatments for more symptoms than current drugs address.

Isolespeol, a geranyl chalcone derivative isolated from breadfruit (Artocarpus communis Moraceae), exhibits cytotoxic effects—loss of mitochondrial membrane potential—on human liposarcoma cells.

The authors exhaustively describe the molecular interactions of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite proteins involved in the infection of red blood cells and explore their implications for vaccine design.

Will there ever be an end to new nanoshapes? This report details the synthesis of gold nanotadpoles and nanokites via HAuCl4 reduction.

Scientists have solved the structure of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, the enzyme that maintains the length and integrity of telomeres. Telomerase is a potential drug target for some diseases, including cancer.

The inclusion of highly anisotropic clay nanoparticles in cross-linked natural rubber provides a more homogeneous distributed network structure and enhances crystallization under uniaxial deformation.
