The invention intends to provide coumarin based nickel-dithiolene complexes, to selectively detect mercury (II) ions in the organism. Based on a Ditholen-ligand, molecules have been developed which can be used to determine the presence of heavy metal ions. Design, manufacture and the properties of a system based on a coumarin nickel dithiolene complex are described, which operates in the wavelength range of ~960 nm with high selectivity and sensitivity for mercury ions even in the presence of other metal ions (eg. Ag+, Al3+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Na+, Sn2+) that can be used in a simple UV / VIS spectroscopy.
Researchers of TUW and MUW have found that cardiomyocyte-like cells may be obtained not only from omnipotent or pluripotent mammalian cells,
but also from lineage committed cells, such as skeletal myoblasts when cultured in the presence of substituted pyridine- and pyrimidine-compounds.
Novel synthetic lignans to affect inflammatory processes related to surgical cardiovascular intervention have been identified. The compounds may have highly beneficial effects for preparation of cardiac by-pass implants as well as for stent conduits.
A new and convenient synthesis method has been developed for coupling a ligand (e.g. PEG, peptides) through a cleavable disulfide linkage to an oligonucleotide at the 2´ position of a ribose ring. The resulting oligonucleotide conjugates are taken up efficiently into cells without the need for a transfection agent, and the 2´ OH group modification has
a positive impact on stability, allowing natural (phosphodiester) oligonucleotide sequences to be used. Preliminary in vitro experiments have demonstrated effective target gene down-regulation.
