Synthesis of Co/CoO Heterostructure in N-Doped Porous, Amorphous Carbon: A Superior Electrochemical Sensor for Sensitive Determination of Alectinib in Various Fluids.

Highly crystallized Co and CoO nanoparticles embedded in an N-doped amorphous carbon matrix have been successfully fabricated by the molten-salt-assisted method using KClO and zeolitic imidazolate framework-12 (ZIF-12). Pyrolysis of ZIF-12 with different concentrations of KClO leads to embedded Co and CoO nanoparticles in a conductive amorphous carbon network. The impact of salt concentration on the morphology and electrochemical performance of these composites was investigated for electrochemical sensor applications.

Associations of IL-17 and IL-17 receptor polymorphisms with Behçet's disease in Denizli Province of Turkey.

Although the etiopathogenesis of Behçet's disease is not known, studies conducted in different populations show that it is a multifactorial disease that is thought to develop as a result of the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. IL-17 is thought to induce the neutrophilic inflammation and the tissue damage mediated by immune response in patients. Polymorphisms in the gene region encoding IL-17 and IL-17R molecules may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of the disease and contribute to the elucidation of disease mechanism.

Non-covalent modification of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by thienothiophene derivatives.

Non-covalent functionalization of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been conducted using several binding agents with surface π-interaction forces in recent studies. Herein, we present the first example of non-covalent functionalization of sidewalls of SWCNTs using thienothiophene (TT) derivatives without requiring any binding agents. Synthesized TT derivatives, TT-CN-TPA, TT-CN-TPA2 and TT-COOH-TPA, were attached directly to SWCNTs through non-covalent interactions to obtain new TT-based SWCNT hybrids, HYBRID 1-3.
