Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, but its availability depends on
soil pH. Despite this abundance, Al is not considered an essential element and so far no …

Human activities have circumvented the efficient geochemical cycling of aluminium within
the lithosphere and therewith opened a door, which was previously only ajar, onto the biotic …

Aluminum, a non-redox-active metal is, nevertheless, a pro-oxidant both in in vitro
preparations and in vivo. It facilitates both superoxide-and iron-driven biological oxidation by …

In this work, a novel isophorone-based fluorescent probe H-1 was designed and
synthesized. The probe H-1 could achieve highly selective detection of Al 3+ through …

Silicon (Si) is the most abundant element present in the Earth's crust besides oxygen.
However, the exact biological roles of silicon remain unknown. Moreover, the ortho-silicic …

Aluminium adjuvants potentiate the immune response, thereby ensuring the potency and
efficacy of typically sparingly available antigen. Their concomitant critical importance in …

The surface of a typical laboratory single crystal has about 1015 surface atoms or adsorption
sites, respectively, and is thus far out of reach for conventional NMR experiments using …

An inevitable consequence of humans living in the Aluminium Age is the presence of
aluminium in the brain. This non-essential, neurotoxic metal gains entry to the brain …

The possibility for an Al-superoxide complex to reduce Fe (III) to Fe (II), promoting oxidative
damage through the Fenton reaction, is investigated using highly accurate ab initio methods …

The aim of this review is to attempt to answer extremely important questions related to
aluminium-related diseases. Starting from an overview on the main sources of aluminium …
