A BRISK WALK THROUGH THE FIELDS OF RELAXATION, SATURATION, AND EXCHANGE: FROM SOLID STATE NMR TO IN-VIVO IMAGING

A brisk walk through the fields of relaxation, saturation, and exchange: From solid state NMR to in-vivo imaging

Novel MRI contrast methods, such as Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST), rely on previously developed theory and approaches, often introduced first Notepads in solidstate NMR.Understanding or at least connecting the basic principles and original works to the modern-day contrast methods in MRI is instructive.The work brings together concept

DNA sequence characterisation and phylogeography of Lymnaea cousini and related species, vectors of fascioliasis in northern Andean countries, with description of L. meridensis n. sp. (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae)

Abstract Background Livestock fascioliasis is a problem throughout Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, mainly in Andean areas where the disease also appears to affect humans.Transmission patterns and epidemiological scenarios of liver fluke infection have shown to differ according to the lymnaeid vector snail species involved.These Andean countries pr

Application of Centrifugal Partition Chromatography for Bioactivity-Guided Purification of Antioxidant-Response-Element-Inducing Constituents from Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba

Activity-guided separation of antioxidant response element (ARE)-inducing constituents VIT A FACIAL SCRUB from the rhizomes of Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba was performed by the combination of centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) and an ARE luciferase reporter assay.From 3 g of the active n-hexane fraction, one polyacetylene, (6E,12E)-tetradeca-6
