We introduce ruthenosomes, a fusion of liposomal and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating properties meticulously engineered as potent ferroptosis inducers (FINs), marking a significant advancement in metallodrug design for cancer therapy. Formed through the self-assembly of oleate-conjugated ruthenium complexes, these ruthenosomes exhibit exceptional cellular uptake, selectively accumulating in mitochondria and causing substantial disruption. This targeted mitochondrial damage significantly elevates ROS levels, triggering autophagy and selectively activating ferritinophagy.

Background: Chemosensory perception plays a vital role in insect survival and adaptability, driving essential behaviours such as navigation, mate identification, and food location. This sensory process is governed by diverse gene families, including odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), olfactory receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), chemosensory proteins (CSPs), gustatory receptors (GRs), and sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). The oriental mole cricket (Gryllotalpa orientalis Burmeister), an invasive pest with an underground, phyllophagous lifestyle, causes substantial crop damage.

Herein, we report a DMAP-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation reaction of hex-5-en-2-ynoates with electron-poor alkenes , which affords exocyclic olefinic cyclohexenes in good yields and excellent regio-, diastereo-, and / selectivities. Distinguished from previous allenoate- or alkynoate-based substrates, hex-5-en-2-ynoates use the β- and ε-carbons for the bond formation, presenting new and regiodivergent C synthons for Lewis base-catalyzed annulations.

Conventional post-modification methods usually face the fundamental challenge of balancing the high content of functional groups and large surface area for porous organic polymers (POPs). The reason, presumably, stems from ineffective and insufficient swelling of the porous structure of POP materials, which is detrimental to mass transfer and modification of functional groups, especially with large-sized ones. It is important to note that significant differences exist in the porous structures of POP materials in a solvent-free state after thermal activation and solvent swelling state.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, slowly progressing, low-grade metastatic tumor primarily affecting women. Currently, vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) is the only validated diagnostic biomarker, enabling diagnosis of LAM without the need for lung biopsy in appropriate clinical settings. However, VEGF-D concentrations are normal in about 30% of patients, rendering it insufficient for diagnosing all cases of LAM.

Weakly supervised video anomaly detection aims to locate abnormal activities in untrimmed videos without the need for frame-level supervision. Prior work has utilized graph convolution networks or self-attention mechanisms alongside multiple instance learning (MIL)-based classification loss to model temporal relations and learn discriminative features. However, these approaches are limited in two aspects: 1) Multi-branch parallel architectures, while capturing multi-scale temporal dependencies, inevitably lead to increased parameter and computational costs.
