Polymorphism in Non-Fullerene Acceptors Based on Indacenodithienothiophene
(Wiley, 2021-07)Organic solar cells incorporating non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have reached remarkable power conversion efficiencies of over 18%. Unlike fullerene derivatives, NFAs tend to crystallize from solutions, resulting in bulk ... -
Polymorphisms in miRNA processing genes and their role in osteosarcoma risk
(Wiley, 2015-02-07)Background The possible associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk have been analyzed without conclusive results. Those studies were focused mainly on genes of biologically plausible pathways. However, ... -
Polymorphisms in the methotrexate transport pathway: a new tool for MTX plasma level prediction in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2013-02)Objectives Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of therapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Treatment with MTX often causes toxicity, which can necessitate dose reduction or treatment cessation. ... -
Polymorphisms of the SLCO1B1 gene predict methotrexate-related toxicity in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Wiley, 2011-10)Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of the therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Treatment with high-dose MTX often causes toxicity, recommending a dose reduction and/or cessation of ... -
Polyphase tectonic reworking of serpentinites and chlorite-tremolite-talc rocks (SW Spain) from the subduction forearc to intracontinental emplacement
(Wiley, 2023-05)The petrostructural and geochronological study of a poorly known ultramafic unit from SW Spain (Badajoz–Córdoba belt) combined with previous structural data permits disclosure of a history of metasomatism, tectono-metamorphism, ... -
Polyphenol Iongel Patches with Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
(MDPI, 2023-02-21)There is an actual need for developing materials for wound healing applications with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, or antibacterial properties in order to improve the healing performance. In this work, we report the ... -
Polyphenol Profile and Quantitative Assessment of the Flavonoid Kaempferitrin in Wild and Cultivated Brazilian Amazonian Uncaria guianensis (Rubiaceae)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2021-08)The Amazonian Rubiaceae species Uncaria guianensis (UG) is locally used as antiinflammatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, anti-ulcers, and others. The phenolic content of its leaves is characterized by the great predominance ... -
Polyphenolic profile of butterhead lettuce cultivar by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled online to UV–visible spectrophotometry and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2018-04-18)In the present study, the butterhead lettuce cultivar was analyzed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled online to diode array detection (DAD), electrospray ionization (ESI) and quadrupole ... -
Polysaccharide-Based In Situ Self-Healing Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Applications
(MDPI, 2020-10-01)In situ hydrogels have attracted increasing interest in recent years due to the need to develop effective and practical implantable platforms. Traditional hydrogels require surgical interventions to be implanted and are ... -
Polystyrene nanoplastics and microplastics can act as Trojan horse carriers of benzo(a)pyrene to mussel hemocytes in vitro
(Nature Research, 2021-11-17)[EN]In this work we studied the ability of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) to transfer benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) to mussel hemocytes and to produce toxic effects in vitro. For this, intracellular ... -
