A compound with potential as a treatment for ALS has gained further promise in a new study that showed it improved the condition of mice whose motor neurons had been damaged by an environmental toxin ...

Researchers have isolated two novel bis-β-triketone hybrids, Corymbinols A (1) and B (2a/2b), from the fruits of Corymbia citriodora. Corymbinol A demonstrated a 31% inhibition of cuproptosis in HepG2 ...

As Earth's ozone layer recovers from past emissions of now-banned CFCs and halons, other chemicals are emerging as major causes of stratospheric ozone depletion. Atmospheric scientists have been ...

A research team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson is developing a drug that works in combination with copper to kill bacteria, including those that cause MRSA, a type of staph ...

Most copper in the brain is a problem. It piles up in the wrong places, drives the oxidative chaos that kills neurons, and for years the going wisdom in Alzheimer’s research has been to strip it out.

Chemists have now synthesized a molecule that can perform the function of a computing unit in a quantum computer. Quantum computers could vastly increase the capabilities of IT systems, bringing major ...

Copper catalysis has emerged as a versatile and cost-effective strategy for the construction of heterocyclic frameworks, which are core motifs in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials science.
