TL;DR: Biological evaluation of a small library of N-palmitoyl-ethanolamine analogues or derivatives, characterized by a protected acid function, useful to decrease their hydrolysis rate in vitro and prolong their biological activity are reported.

TL;DR: In this article, a formaldehyde and halogen-free coating, containing phosphorus, nitrogen and silicon, was synthesized with a promising approach to enhance flame retardancy of cotton fabric.

TL;DR: In this article, a new multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based conducting cotton fabric was properly designed and achieved, as a useful component for the development of humidity and temperature sensors.

TL;DR: The results of this work, together with those of a previous paper, suggest that there is not a specific role of cyclometalation in controlling the reactivity, unless an in-plane aryl ring becomes part of the pi-acceptor system of the chelated 2,2-bipyridine, behaving as acyclometalated analogue of the nitrogen terdentate 2, 2':6',2"-terpyridine.

TL;DR: In vitro tests of the new trans-calixpyrrole-Pt(II) complex on different cancer cell lines indicate a cytotoxic activity that is unquestionably derived from the coexistence of both the trans-PT( II) fragment and the calix[4]pyr role unit.
