Histochemical tests for copper, iron, and zinc revealed their presence in the stratum germinativum of normal skin and skin from which an early melanoma and basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas originated. However, only copper was seen in invasive cells of basal and squamous cell carcinomas originating from skin. The normal oral mucous membrane was free of copper, iron, and zinc, but cells of invasive squamous carcinoma originating from the oral mucous membrane contained copper. The fluorescent brightening agent, applied as a counterstain, aided in the location of the specimen.

Iron-copper complexes have been extensively studied in the search for efficient cytochrome oxidase models. Whereas most dinuclear materials usually focus on fine-tuning the coordination of heme-Fe, this work shows that the coordination of copper in cytochrome oxidase models should be carefully taken into consideration. A β-cyclodextrin dimer was built around a bipyridine linker and combined with Fe-tetraphenylsulfonatoporphyrinate (FeTPPS) to generate a self-assembled hydrosoluble cytochrome oxidase model.

Background: The biopharmaceutical industry is increasingly interested in the analysis of trace metals due to their significant impact on product quality and drug safety. Certain metals can potentially accelerate the formation of degradants or aggregates in biotherapeutic proteins, leading to drug product quality concerns. A better understanding of metal-mAb interactions would aid in the development of purification processes and formulations, thereby ensuring better drug quality and safety.

In the blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace route, pig iron and steel scrap are used as resources for steel production. The scrap content can consist of many different types of scrap varying in origin and composition. This makes it difficult to compile the scrap mix and predict the future chemical analysis in the converter.
