V današnjem času smo zaradi hitrega načina življenja izpostavljeni stresu, ki se ga začnemo zavedati šele ob izbruhu določenih bolezni. Stres, ki ga povzročajo reaktivne kisikove in dušikove zvrsti, imenujemo oksidativni stres. Reaktivne zvrsti so zelo nevarne in škodljive, kadar nastajajo prekomerno v organizmu, saj lahko poškodujejo deoksiribonuk...

Cytokinins are naturally occurring adenine derivatives whose physiological role is that of growth regulators in plants and that show also many other activities either in plants and in mammalian cells. In plants, they can be found mainly as free bases ((N6-substituted adenines, CKs), but also as the corresponding N9- ribosides (N6-substituted adenos...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) has been widely used to detect biomolecules in cultured cells and tissue samples due to its enablement of super resolution imaging with conventional microscopes, via physical expansion of samples. However, reaction conditions inherent to the process bring about strong fluorescent signal loss during polymerization and dige...

Degradable and environmentally responsive polymers have been actively developed for drug delivery and regenerative medicine applications, yet inadequate consideration of their compatibility with terminal sterilization presents notable barriers to clinical translation. This Review discusses industry-established terminal sterilization methods and ase...

Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been promoted as alternatives to H2O2-based AOPs. To gauge the potential of this technology, the PS/Fe(II) and Fenton (H2O2/Fe(II)) processes were comparatively evaluated using formate as a simple target compound and nanofiltration concentrate from a municipal wastewater treatment plant...
Diffusely dispersed metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) can adversely affect living organisms through various mechanisms and exposure routes. One mechanism behind their toxic potency is their ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly or indirectly to an extent that depends on the dose, metal speciation, and exposure route. Th...

A plethora of drug molecules and agrochemicals contain the sulfonamide functional group. However, sulfonamides are seldom viewed as synthetically useful functional groups. To confront this limitation, a late-stage functionalization strategy is described, which allows sulfonamides to be converted to pivotal sulfonyl radical intermediates. This metho...

Surface functionalization of polymers by chemically reactive oxygen is a standard technique for increasing the surface energy of polymers. The technique, however, usually does not provide the desired surface finish of many polymers, including highly hydrophobic polymers like those rich in fluorine. The disappointing results are due to an incomplete...
