Copper-nickel nanowires could be perfect fit for printable electronics

Duke University chemists created a new set of flexible, electrically conductive nanowires from thin strands of copper atoms mixed with nickel. The copper-nickel nanowires, in the form of a film, condu...

Metals: Ironing out copper toxicity

Siderophores are small molecules allowing microorganisms to competitively acquire iron from soils, aquatic systems or host proteins. New research shows that a siderophore secreted by some bacterial pa...

Copper can protect against Alzheimer's disease

Researchers have provided unequivocal evidence that under conditions which are approximately similar to those found in the brain, copper can only protect against beta amyloid forming beta sheets and a...

Copper Facilitates Prion Disease

Scientists report that reducing copper in the body delays the onset of prion disease. Mice lacking a copper-transport gene lived significantly longer when infected with a prion disease than did normal...

Copper's Previously Unknown Exit Strategy

The body rids itself of excess copper and other minerals by collecting them in the liver and excreting them through the liver’s bile. However, a new study suggests that when this route is impaired t...

Copper's previously unknown exit strategy from the body

Scientists have long known that the body rids itself of excess copper and various other minerals by collecting them in the liver and excreting them through the liver’s bile. However, a new study sug...

Fungal pathogenesis: Good copper, bad copper

Cryptococcus neoformans detoxifies copper to avoid an antimicrobial host response.

Insulated copper(i) "wires": structural variations and photoluminescence.

An unprecedented "molecular wire" type of structure for the copper(i) carboxylate family has been synthesized by utilizing copper-copper interactions and controllable switch of copper-oxygen interacti...

High Copper Levels Promotes Broiler Hepatocyte Mitochondrial Permeability Transition In Vivo and In Vitro.

This study was to examine the effects of copper on the mitochondrial non-specific pore. Three hundred sixty, one-day-old, healthy Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were fed with different concentrations (11,...

Copper and Ceruloplasmin Abnormalities in Alzheimer's Disease.

The idea that copper may play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is gaining momentum. Serum copper and ceruloplasmin were measured by both enzymatic (eCp) and immunologic (iCp) methods...

Copper(II) Thiaethyneporphyrin and Copper(II) 21-Phosphoryl N-confused Porphyrin Hybrids. Intramolecular Copper(II)-Carbon Interaction Inside of a Porphyrinoid Surrounding.

Stabilization of unusual organocopper(II) species via the very efficient protection of the copper(II)-carbon bond has been achieved encapsulating the copper(II) center in the coordination core of suit...

Complexation of copper(II) with chitosan nanogels: Toward control of microbial growth.

Pure chitosan nanogels were produced, used to adsorb copper(II), and their antimicrobial activities were assessed. The complexation of copper(II) with chitosan solutions and dispersions was studied us...
