Abstract
Carbon nanostructures and especially graphene oxide (GO) have attracted tremendous interest in the scientific community due to the potential utilization in numerous applications in the last decade. Herein, we describe the recent advances in the field of biotechnology and biomedicine of graphene oxide/polymer hybrids as novel nanocarriers for drug and gene delivery.
Keywords: Graphene oxide, polymers, drug and gene delivery, polyethyleneglycol.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
