Amazing recording of dead ringers tonight, with added comedy bonus @rosieisaholt.bsky.social photobombing us!
Doing something for the first time is painful. After 7 years, my daughter still can’t hold her knife and fork properly. But if you keep at it, the effort pays off.
Check out our latest study on Pd-cages for dual-modality imaging including cool MS analysis and fancy in ovo PET imaging, doi.org/10.1039/D5QI... Congrats to Marike Drexler, Luisa Ronga, Ioannis Kanavos, @gmalcantar.bsky.social Daniela Kraus @timwitney.bsky.social! EIC Pathfinder #SMARTdrugs
Design of porous self-assembled homoleptic and heteroleptic Pd2+ cages incorporating silicon-based fluoride acceptors: the way towards nuclear imaging applications
Supramolecular self-assembly is a promising tool to develop multifunctional theranostic agents and has recently entered the field of radiochemistry. In this work, lantern-shaped [Pd2L4]4+ metallacages...
