In nature, molecular environments in proteins can sterically protect and stabilize reactive species such as organic radicals through non-covalent interactions. Here, we report a near-infrared fluorescent rotaxane in which the stabilization of a chemically labile squaraine fluorophore by the coordination of a tetralactam macrocycle can be controlled chemically and electrochemically. The rotaxane can be switched between two co-conformations in which the wheel either stabilizes or exposes the fluorophore.

Article Synopsis
  • Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are critical for understanding tumor diversity and treatment resistance, but traditional methods often capture low numbers, especially in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • This study utilized diagnostic leukapheresis (DLA) on six advanced NSCLC patients to access larger blood volumes and employed a new two-step method to enrich CTCs for analysis.
  • The results unveiled 3,363 unique CTC transcriptomes, revealing significant heterogeneity and potential distinct phenotypes, which suggests CTCs can serve as valuable indicators for tumor monitoring and targeted therapies in the future.

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine mental health treatment utilization and interest among the large and growing demographic of single adults in the United States, who face unique societal stressors and pressures that may contribute to their heightened need for mental healthcare.

Method: We analyzed data from 3,453 single adults, focusing on those with possible mental health treatment needs by excluding those with positive self-assessments. We assessed prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of mental health treatment, including psychotherapy and psychiatric medication use, and interest in attending psychotherapy among participants who had never attended.

Introduction: Previously, it was assumed that genetic influence played a minor role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Increasing evidence of germline mutations has emerged, such as germline mutation associated with familial AML.

Case Presentation: A 64-year-old male patient presented with reduced exercise tolerance and shortness of breath.
