ABSTRACT: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is one of the versatile classes of crystalline porous materials owing to their exceptionally high surface areas, tunable pore architecture and flexible metal-ligand chemistry. In recent years, the integration of bioinspired ligands and MOFs’ principal design has gained attention as an effective strategy to enhance their selectivity, efficiency and functionality in […]

ABSTRACT: Because histochemical staining is the principal means by which the biochemical information that this approach produces is converted to comprehensible visual data, it remains central to clinical pathology. While H&E staining provides a relatively simple morphological reference, the diagnostic utility of these has limited insights on what specific molecular features are represented and fails […]
