Electrically controlled insulin release
Stimuli responsive materials are promising for designing the next generation of drug delivery systems. Such materials would enable drugs to be released on-demand or in response to patient needs, specifically at the target site, minimizing side effects.
Aggregation Induced Emission tells us molecular aggregation processes
The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is the phenomena that the fluorescence intensity is low in solution, the aggregated state shows strong emission. Conversion of the fluorescent properties depending on the aggregated states can also provide information on the
Noni leaf, black tea and Black cohosh encouraged bone growth in post-menopausal mammals
High intake of black tea and certain types of flavonoids were associated with lower risk of fracture-related hospitalizations in elderly women at high risk of fracture. Black tea consumption increased serum estradiol and prevented bone loss in
