Newly developed ompounds aim to reveal the dual nature of formaldehyde, a chemical that is known to cause cancer but is also believed to play important roles in our biology.
Compounds developed by University of Leicester Chemists aim to reveal the dual nature of formaldehyde, a chemical that is known to cause cancer but is also believed to play important roles in our biology.and potentially allow scientists to study a chemical that is present in all living things but which has so far proven too volatile and too reactive to study with ease.
To probe its impact on our cells more accurately, a team at the University of Leicester with collaborators at the University of Oxford have developed a new library of compounds designed to release formaldehyde in cells in controlled amounts that can be used to more precisely to measure its effects. They are partly inspired by compounds used in the cosmetics industry that release low levels of formaldehyde over time.
However, Dr Hopkinson notes that there is also emerging evidence suggesting that formaldehyde plays a role in our metabolism."We are producing formaldehyde all the time inside us but it is a very reactive chemical and most things in biology are not that reactive.
