Acetylcholine Attenuates Hypoxia/ Reoxygenation-Induced Mitochondrial and Cytosolic ROS Formation in H9c2 Cells via M2 Acetylcholine Receptor

Background: The anti-infammatory and cardioprotective effect of acetylcholine (ACh) has been reported; nevertheless, whether and how ACh exhibits an antioxidant property against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced oxidative stress remains obscure.Methods: In the present study, H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to mi

Development of a graphene field effect transistor-based immersible biosensor for immunodetection of the birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 in air samples

Pollen traps, the current gold standard to determine pollen load and thereby the allergy season, are not sufficient to determine the allergenic risk.Therefore, the establishment of highly sensitive assays for allergen measurement bostik roll-cote is of highest interest.Herein, a graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) was constructed on an interdig
