Mitochondrion, the powerhouse of the cells, controls bioenergetics, biosynthesis, metabolism, and signaling. Consequently, it has become an unorthodox target for cancer therapeutics. However, specific targeting of mitochondria ...
White-light-emitting diodes are energy efficiency replacement of conventional lighting sources. Herein, we report the luminescent behavior of three simple cyanostilbenes with triphenylamine-donating groups bearing different ...
Direct oxidation of formic acid to CO2 using noble-metal-free La0.80Sr0.20CoO3 is demonstrated in this study. The catalyst was able to oxidize HCOOH without any externally applied potential. The activity of La0.80Sr0.20CoO3 ...

Guanine (G) quadruplexes (G4) are nucleic acid secondary structures formed by G-rich sequences, which are commonly found in human telomeric and oncogene-promoter regions, and they have emerged as targets for regulation of ...
Drug resistance has made malaria an untreatable disease and therefore intensified the need for the development of new drugs and the identification of potential drug targets. In this pursuit, in silico efforts made in the ...
