Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-based star-like polycations with rich hydrophilic hydroxyl groups can efficiently transfer miRNA into primary cardiac fibroblasts for effective applications in cardiac diseases, such as inhibition of cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy.
A novel M2CO3-catalyzed aerobic oxidative heterocoupling of thiols with air as the oxidant was described for the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides. High atom economy, green catalyst and oxidant, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope make this strategy extremely attractive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
