Identification of Accessory Proteins and Their Impact on the Expression of the Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC)
(2017-05)The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays a crucial role in ensuring proper Na+ balance in the body. In the nephron, ENaC regulates the final 3-5% reabsorption of Na+ and is a limiting factor for Na+ reabsorption in the ... -
Stability Studies of Rooperol and Analogues by In Vitro Metabolism With HPLC/MS Detection
(2019-04-29)African Potato, Hypoxis hemerocallidea, has a long history of use by the indigenous people of South Africa to treat cancer and a variety of other diseases. Extracts from the corm contain the norligan bisglycoside hypoxoside, ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Thiophene-Based Electroactive Polymers
(2019-04-25)Electroactive polymers show great promise in a variety of applications, from chemical sensors to energy storage. Their properties such as solubility and band gap can be tailored through the strategic addition of substituents ...
