Synthesis of Bisoxazole and Bromo-substituted Aryloxazoles

Herein, we report a bisoxazole derivative as well as a bromo-substituted oxazole derivatives via a simple approach. The synthesis begins with an inexpensive and readily available starting material, such as 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, hydroquinone, and p-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC). This approach relies on the Van Leusen oxazole method and electrophilic aromatic bromination. Th...

The Roles of Various Immune Cell Populations in Immune Response against Helminths

Helminths are multicellular parasites that are a substantial problem for both human and veterinary medicine. According to estimates, 1.5 billion people suffer from their infection, resulting in decreased life quality and burdens for healthcare systems. On the other hand, these infections may alleviate autoimmune diseases and allergy symptoms. The immune system is programmed to combat infec...

An Overview of the Epigenetic Modifications in the Brain under Normal and Pathological Conditions

Epigenetic changes are changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence. These changes lead to establishing a so-called epigenetic code that dictates which and when genes are activated, thus orchestrating gene regulation and playing a central role in development, health, and disease. The brain, being mostly formed by cells that do not undergo a renewal process...

Novel Screen System Improvement Methodology for Flood and Diffuse Pollution Control: Demonstration via a Case Study

Screen systems are often neglected in practice. This can lead to local flooding, pollution of receiving watercourses, blockages of channels by debris, and safety problems for children playing. The aim of this case study is therefore to protect below-ground channels and people, prevent flooding, improve water quality, and save personnel costs through a new screen system maintenance, repair,...
