Illumination of Historical Mysteries in Rock Art and Frescoes

The scientific study of works of art and the materials used in their creation has received impetus with the development of nondestructive microsampling analytical techniques and an increasing awareness on the part of art historians, museum conservators, and scientists of the importance of characterization for the attribution of the historical period and genuineness of an artifact. Useful information about anci...

Biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid and conversion of carbons 1 and 2 of L-ascorbic acid to oxalic acid occurs within individual calcium oxalate crystal idioblasts
Plant Physiology ; Biosynthesis of L-Ascorbic Acid and Conversion of Carbons 1 and 2 of L-Ascorbic Acid to Oxalic Acid Occurs within Individual Calcium Oxalate Crystal Idioblasts1 L-Ascorbic acid (AsA) and its metabolic precursors give rise to oxalic acid (OxA) found in calcium oxalate crystals in specialized crystal
Pharmacokinetics and Biodistribution of ^sup 111^In- and ^sup 177^Lu-Labeled J591 Antibody Specific for Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen: Prediction of ^sup 90^Y-J591 Radiation Dosimetry Based on ^sup 111^In or ^sup 177^Lu?
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine ; ^sup 111^In-Labeled antibodies and peptides have been routinely used as chemical and biologic surrogates for ^sup 90^Y-labeled therapeutic agents. However, recent studies have shown that there are significant differences in biodistribution between ^sup 111^In- and ^sup 90^Y-labeled agents. Yttrium

Medicago truncatula Mutants Demonstrate the Role of Plant Calcium Oxalate Crystals as an Effective Defense against Chewing Insects1
Plant Physiology ; Calcium oxalate is the most abundant insoluble mineral found in plants and its crystals have been reported in more than 200 plant families. In the barrel medic Medicago truncatula Gaertn., these crystals accumulate predominantly in a sheath surrounding secondary veins of leaves. Mutants of M.

Development of a Novel ^sup 99m^Tc-Chelate-Conjugated Bisphosphonate with High Affinity for Bone as a Bone Scintigraphic Agent
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine ; In bone scintigraphy using ^sup 99m^Tc with methylenediphosphonate (^sup 99m^Tc-MDP) and hydroxymethylenediphosphonate (^sup 99m^Tc-HMDP), it takes 2-6 h after an injection before imaging can start. This interval could be shortened with a new radiopharmaceutical with higher affinity for bone. Here,

Low-Affinity Na^sup +^ Uptake in the Halophyte Suaeda maritima1[C][W][OA]
Plant Physiology ; Na^sup +^ uptake by plant roots has largely been explored using species that accumulate little Na^sup +^ into their shoots. By way of contrast, Nathe halophyte Suaeda maritima accumulates, without injury, concentrations of the order of 400 mM NaCl in its leaves. Here we report that cAMP and Ca^sup
