Exact excerpt

Now, an international team has detected S 8 in cells from both mice and humans. The team, which was led by Uladzimir Barayeu from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany and Takaaki Akaike from Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, used a polyaromatic capsule to trap and stabilise S 8 through hydrophobic interactions. This allowed them to use Raman microscopy and mass spectrometry to locate and quantify the abundance of elemental sulfur.
