Inducing Toxicity in the Neurological System by Environmental Pollutants.

There is a growing body of evidence that exposure to multiple air pollutants may cause dysfunction of the central nervous system (CNS) [...

Tuning of B photochemistry in the CarH photoreceptor to avoid radical photoproducts.

Time-resolved infrared spectroscopy reveals the flow of electron density through coenzyme B in the light-activated, bacterial transcriptional regulator, CarH. The protein stabilises a series of charge transfer states that result in a photoresponse that avoids reactive, and potentially damaging, radical photoproducts.

Characteristics of Hispanic patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery: a review of the literature.

Background: Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common cancer worldwide and is frequently treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS); however, data regarding characteristics of Hispanic patients undergoing MMS for NMSC are limited.

Objective: To review the characteristics of Hispanic patients undergoing MMS for NMSC in the United States.

Methods: A systematic review of PubMed articles from inception through September 2022 providing data for Hispanic patients undergoing MMS for NMSC was completed.

Highlighter: An optogenetic system for high-resolution gene expression control in plants.

Optogenetic actuators have revolutionized the resolution at which biological processes can be controlled. In plants, deployment of optogenetics is challenging due to the need for these light-responsive systems to function in the context of horticultural light environments. Furthermore, many available optogenetic actuators are based on plant photoreceptors that might crosstalk with endogenous signaling processes, while others depend on exogenously supplied cofactors.
