Nanopore-based consensus sequencing enables accurate multimodal tumor cell-free DNA profiling.

Shallow genome-wide cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing holds great promise for non-invasive cancer monitoring by providing reliable copy number alteration (CNA) and fragmentomic profiles. Single nucleotide variations (SNVs) are, however, much harder to identify with low sequencing depth due to sequencing errors. Here we present Nanopore Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA)-enhanced Consensus Sequencing (NanoRCS), which leverages RCA and consensus calling based on genome-wide long-read nanopore sequencing to enable simultaneous multimodal tumor fraction estimation through SNVs, CNAs, and fragmentomics.

Chronic oral dosing of cannabidiol and cannabidiolic acid full-spectrum hemp oil extracts has no adverse effects in horses: a pharmacokinetic and safety study.

Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics of cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) in horses and to evaluate the safety of their chronic administration.

Methods: CBD- and CBDA-rich oil (1 mg/kg) were administered orally twice daily to 7 adult horses over 6 weeks in a randomized, crossover design with a 2-week washout period. A 12-hour pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted on day 1 of each 6-week trial, followed by the measurement of peak and trough concentrations at weeks 1, 2, 4, and 6.

Cut-off value for the posterior tibial slope indicating the risk for retear of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Purpose: The significance of the posterior tibial slope (PTS) has increasingly come into focus in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction being a risk factor for ACL graft failure. Nevertheless, inconsistent data on the critical value of the PTS exist. The purpose of this study was to define a cut-off value for the PTS in ACL surgery.

From Molecular to Polymeric Donors: Prolonged Charge Separation in Modular Photoredox-Active Ru(II) Polypyridyl-Type Triads.

In this contribution, the divergent modular synthesis of photoredox-active dyads, triads and a tetrad descending from one ligand precursor is presented by combining "chemistry-on-the-ligand", stepwise complexation and "chemistry-on-the-complex" with minimal synthetic efforts. In the final step, Pd-mediated borylation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling was employed to introduce the different (multi)donor moieties at the preassembled P-A dyad subunit. The (spectro-)electrochemical data revealed preserved redox properties of the subunits and minimal driving force for oxidative quenching by the naphthalene diimide-based (NDI) acceptor and, thus, high-energy charge separated (CS) states.
