Abstract
The research and development of electrochemical biosensors applied to life sciences during the past years were reviewed in the present article. In the first part of the article, a brief introduction on nanomaterial based electrochemical DNA biosensors is given. In the second part DNA biosensors and transition metal complexes with biological interest are described. Finally, the development trends of electrochemical biosensors in genetic and epigenetic testing are being discussed.

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
