Development of a Thin Layer Chromatography method to determine the radiolabeling stability of PCL-PEO micelles radiolabeled with ¹⁷⁷Lu

Polymeric micelles have a promising future in the treatment of cancer patients, and particularly as carriers in chemotherapy. The effectiveness of the micelles can be determined when their fate in vivo is known. Radiolabeling the micelles with diagnostic radionuclides allows for determination of their biodistribution and pharmacokinetics using...

Computational reconnaissance of the catalytic properties of manganese non-pincer complexes

The best available catalysts for the reduction of carbonyl groups in ketones are<br/>currently based on rare metals such as platinum, osmium or ruthenium. The developmentof alternative catalysts made from more abundant metal such as manganese offers chances to increase sustainability and cost efficiency. Analysing and predicting chemical and...

Towards the Visualization of the Turbulence Cascade

A turbulent flow is composed of swirling eddies of many sizes. Energy, which is added to the flow at the larger scales, is transferred down through consecutively smaller eddies until the scale is small enough that viscous forces dominate, at which point the energy is dissipated. The mechanism by which energy is transferred down the scales of...
