Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

When you mention boron to people and ask them what it brings to mind, there’s no shortage of answers. Some will think about borax (sodium borate), which is used to make glass and the playful ...

Chemists seeking strange new structures from the main group of elements have bagged two long-sought species with boron at their cores. Researchers in Germany report the synthesis of the world’s first ...

Chemists created a boron-containing chemical group that is 10,000 times more stable than boron on its own. The advance could make it possible to incorporate boron into drugs and improve their ability ...

The search for new pharmaceutical drugs by medicinal chemists relies on the synthesis of diverse compound libraries for biological testing. Of the reactions used for this purpose, those involving ...

A new boron agent drastically improves the effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy for glioblastoma. The agent is selectively absorbed by brain tumor cells, exhibits enhanced blood retention, ...
