TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the presence of titanium dioxide increases the reversibility of the redox reactions undergone by the electrolyte during discharge/charge processes in Li-ion batteries.

TL;DR: Thermal stability measurements indicate that G(SO3) does not form stable base pairs with any of the normal DNA bases in duplex oligonucleotides and is a powerful block for elongation by Klenow DNA polymerase in primer extension experiments.

TL;DR: This work identifies oxidative damage to an important DNA replication and repair protein as a previously unrecognized hazard of acute oxidative stress in organ transplant patients treated with the immunosuppressant azathioprine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the perovskite-related phase SrFeO3−δ through a low temperature reaction with poly(vinylidene fluoride) was reported, and X-ray powder diffraction showed that fluorination leads to an expansion in the unit cell which is consistent with partial replacement of oxygen by fluorine and consequent reduction in the oxidation state of iron.

TL;DR: The DNA of patients taking the immunosuppressant and anticancer drugs azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine contains 6-thioguanine (6-TG), which suggests that cellular antioxidant defences might counteract the UVA-mediated photooxidation of DNA 6-TG at this intermediate step and ameliorate its biological effects.
