Gadolinium, an obscure lanthanide element buried in the middle of the periodic table, has in
the course of a decade become commonplace in medical diagnostics. Like platinum in …

The peculiar magnetic properties of lanthanide (III) ions may be exploited for the
development of powerful NMR probes for biomedical applications. GdIII chelates are in …

The paramagnetic properties of trivalent lanthanide cations (Ln (II1)) have been exploited in
NMR spectroscopy for a long time. In an early “0 NMR study Lewis et al.[l] utilized Ln (II1) …

The general principles of interaction between bor (on) ic acids and sugars in aqueous media
are discussed with a focus on the structural aspects that play a role with respect to the …

The europium (III) complex of a DOTA− tetraamide ligand (DOTA= 1, 4, 7, 10-
tetraazacyclododecane-N, N ', N '', N '''-tetraacetic acids) containing two phenyl boronate …

Altered glycosylation of cell surface proteins and lipids is frequently associated with
tumorigenic and metastatic processes.[1] These changes in glycosylation are mainly caused …

We present a novel nonenzymatic carbon nanotube sensor integrated in a microfluidic
channel for the detection of sugars. The sensor is assembled as a liquid-gated field-effect …

Molecular recognition involving glycoprotein-mediated interactions is ubiquitous in both
normal and pathological natural processes. Therefore, visualization of these interactions …

Owing to the low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility, polysaccharides are good
candidates for the development of promising biomaterials. In this paper, a series of magnetic …
