Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, the potential range of the disease is growing. While some ...

Other salts of divalent and trivalent cations such as calcium (Ca++), zinc (Zn++), and iron (Fe++), for the most part, decrease the activity of commonly used translocated herbicides such as 2,4-D or ...

The problem in this case is the formation of a poorly soluble calcium salt of ceftriaxone, the ionized form of which is a divalent anion. [9] The general basis for this divalent cation-divalent ...

The water-swellable packer is capable of swelling in both monovalent and divalent cation brines. Using the super absorbent polymer creates a very stable water swell packer. If the water is removed ...

Early cells may have been composed of RNA inside lipid membranes. But RNA function requires divalent cations such as Mg 2+, which disrupt primitive membranes made of fatty acids. The question arises ...

Researchers discover a vital iron-transport protein in malaria parasites called DMT1, paving the way for faster-acting antimalarial medications.

Hard water causes scaling, which is the left over mineral deposits that are formed after the hard water had evaporated. This ...

In an article recently published in Desalination, researchers investigated the effectiveness of salt-free electrodialysis ...

The greenish-blue emission from the same banknotes could well arise from divalent europium but this is mere conjecture. Since the beginning of the 1980s, europium has played a major role in highly ...

New research identifies the DMT1 protein as a critical target for new antimalarial drugs. Blocking DMT1 impairs the malaria ...

Abubakar-Waziri H, Edwards DA, Bhatta DB, Hull JH, Rudd M, Small P, Chung KF. Inhaled alkaline hypertonic divalent salts reduce refractory chronic cough frequency. ERJ Open Res. 2024 Oct 7;10(5 ...

These second-generation compounds belong to a new chemical class of molecules called telomere targeting divalent dinucleotides. These preclinical studies were designed to evaluate the efficacy of ...
