treatments. Research about the formation and elimination of biofilms cannot be undertaken …

Inorganic and organic “solvent-in-salt”(SIS) systems have been known for decades but have
attracted significant attention only recently. Molten salt hydrates/solvates have been …

Transcellular Mg2+ transport across epithelia, involving both apical entry and basolateral
extrusion, is essential for magnesium homeostasis, but molecules involved in basolateral …

Developments in chemistry, materials science and biology have been fuelled by our search
