Water soluble sodium sulfate nanorods as a versatile template for the designing of copper sulfide nanotubes.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 14(6) , 4455-61, (2014)

The present study reports the use of water soluble sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) nanorods as a versatile template for generation of tubular copper sulfide (CuS) nanostructures. The Na2SO4 nanorods were synt...

Copper uptake by DMT1: a compensatory mechanism for CTR1 deficiency in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

Metallomics 7 , 1285-9, (2015)

Copper transport 1 (CTR1) plays a critical role in copper uptake by cells, but several studies demonstrated that divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) also transports copper in some cells and under cert...
