Interaction of Calf Thymus DNA with the Ni(II) Complex of Sodium 1,4-Dihydroxy-9,10-Anthraquinone-2-Sulphonate: A Novel Method of Analysis Using Cyclic Voltammetry by Partha Sarathi Guin, Piyal Das, Saurabh Das, Parikshit Chandra Mandal

“…Electrochemical behavior of the Ni(II) complex (Na2[Ni(NaLH)2Cl2]⋅2H2O) of sodium 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulphonate (NaLH2), analogue of the core unit of anthracycline anticancer drugs, was studied at physiological pH using cyclic voltammetry. The Ni(II) complex of sodium 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulphonate undergoes diffusion-controlled one-electron reduction that enables performing an electrochemical study on the interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA. …”

The Contribution of α-Synuclein Spreading to Parkinson’s Disease Synaptopathy by Francesca Longhena, Gaia Faustini, Cristina Missale, Marina Pizzi, PierFranco Spano, Arianna Bellucci

“…Indeed, α-synuclein accumulation can impair synaptic dopamine release and induces the death of nigrostriatal neurons. While in physiological conditions the protein can interact with and modulate synaptic vesicle proteins and membranes, numerous experimental evidences have confirmed that its pathological aggregation can compromise correct neuronal functioning. …”

Design and Implementation of the Natural Light Reproduction System Based on Context Awareness in WSN by Yun-Joo Kim, Sook-Youn Kwon, Jae-Hyun Lim

“…As such, natural light is a major environmental factor that affects humans' psychological and physiological conditions. To create healthy and comfortable lighting environments in windowless space such as a basement where no natural light can enter, the daily, monthly, and seasonal cycles of natural light need to be represented by means of artificial lightings. …”

Safety and Efficacy of an Intravaginal Prebiotic Gel in the Prevention of Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis: A Randomized Double-Blind Study by Isabelle Coste, Philippe Judlin, Jean-Pierre Lepargneur, Sami Bou-Antoun

“…Moreover, the maintenance of (or reversion to) a normal flora was associated with the maintenance of (or reversion to) physiological pH values. Conclusions. The intravaginal gel treatment improves the recovery of a normal vaginal flora after the treatment of a BV episode, which should warrant a reduction in the risk of further recurrences.…”

Investigation on the Binding and Conformational Change of All-trans-Retinoic Acid with Peptidyl Prolyl cis/trans Isomerase Pin1 Using Spectroscopic and Computational Techniques by GuoFei Zhu, ShaoLi Lyu, Yang Liu, Chao Ma, Wang Wang

“…Binding and conformational change of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) with peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1 were investigated systematically by spectroscopic and computational techniques under experimentally optimized physiological conditions. The intrinsic fluorescence of Pin1 was quenched through a static quenching mechanism in the presence of ATRA with binding constants on the order of 105 mol/L. …”
