We report the development of a new electron-rich aniline (ERA)-based cleavable linker. Anilines can be incorporated into peptides during SPPS and are stable to most reaction conditions. ERA-containing peptides can be cleaved rapidly in the presence of oxidants, such as DDQ, CAN, and NaIO, in 30 min at room temperature.

Black individuals are less likely to be treated for prostate cancer even though they are more than twice as likely to die compared to White individuals. The complex causes of these inequities are influenced by social and structural factors, including racism, which contribute to the differential delivery of care. This study investigates how factors related to the location of where individuals live and receive care affect treatment inequities for prostate cancer between Black and White individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • Calcified nodules (CNs) are high-risk lesions that can emerge from untreated calcified lesions, leading to serious health issues like cardiac death and myocardial infarction.
  • A study with 372 patients tracked the development of new CNs over approximately 1.5 years, finding that 7% of lesions showed new CNs at follow-up.
  • Factors like the presence of residual lipid, larger calcified volume, increased motion during heart cycles, and longer time since initial imaging were linked to the formation of new CNs and were associated with worse clinical outcomes.
