Cancer researchers fear advances for patients could be delayed by almost a year and a half because of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, a new survey reveals. Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, told the survey that their own research advances would be pushed back by an average of six months by the initial lockdown, subsequent restrictions on laboratory capacity and the closure of national scientific facilities....
Okadaic acid is diarrhetic toxin (DSP) which can be found in shellfish. Due to its inhibitory effects towards specific protein phosphatases it is a promising compound for various potential medical uses. This application note shows the LC-MS/MS analysis of okadaic acid and its derivates with different YMC-Triart phases. All phases are suitable for the separation of these compounds with high resolution....
