Dendrimers [1] are repetitively branched molecules.[2][3] The name comes from the Greek word δένδρον (dendron), which translates to "tree". Synonymous terms for dendrimer include arborols and casca...
Two special classes of emulsions – microemulsions and nanoemulsions, with droplet sizes below 100 nm – appear translucent.[4] This property is due to the fact that lightwaves are scattered by the d...
Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. This bicyclic compound consists of the fusion of benzene and imidazole. The most prominent benzimidazole compound in nature is N-ribosyl-d...
Inhibitors of cell activation
A secretory protein is any protein, whether it be endocrine or exocrine, which is secreted by a cell. Secretory proteins include many hormones, enzymes, toxins, and antimicrobial peptides. Secretor...
