TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and biological applications of organoseleno-and organotelluro-based molecular dyes are discussed, including the most relevant applications for photodynamic therapy (PDT), fluorescent probes for the detection of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), natural bioreductors like glutathione (GSH) and metals present in physiological systems.

TL;DR: It is concluded that at high concentrations, all three peptides act by a carpet mechanism, while at low concentrations the peptides acted by disorganizing the lipid bilayer, probably causing membrane thinning.

TL;DR: It is indicated that LAD-βSe, and possibly other derivatives containing Se, are able to reach the CNS and have the potential to be used as preventive and therapeutic measures in distinct clinical forms of MS.

TL;DR: This study showed that a combination of yeast-derived β-glucan and a selenium-linked pseudodisaccharide strongly suppressed the growth of all three types of cancers, most likely via the interaction with natural anticancer antibodies.

TL;DR: In this article, the apparent pKa (pKap) of benzoic acid derivatives with surfactant micelles was calculated by UV spectroscopy, showing that the dissociation of substituted benzoates occurred at the micellar interface in both SDS and HPS.
