The Oxygen Reduction Reaction Rate of Metallic Nanoparticles during Catalyzed Oxidation.

abstract：:Diabetic nephropathy, the major cause of chronic kidney disease, is associated with progressive renal fibrosis. Recently, accumulation of periostin, an extracellular matrix protein, was shown to augment renal fibrosis. Aptamers have higher binding affinities without developing the common side effects of antibodies. Th...
