Bimetallic Ru-Ir/Rh complexes with the Ru-based metalloligand -(bpy)Ru(PPh) (RuP) serve as catalysts for the selective reduction of allyl alcohol to propylene, employing H gas or an electrochemical setup. Metal-metal bonded key π-allyl intermediates [(RuP)M(η-CH)] (M = Ir, Rh) are identified, advancing the understanding of the catalytic processes.

However, accurate genetic testing requires a sufficient amount of tumor cells in the specimen. The evaluation of tumor content ratio (TCR) from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained images has been found to vary between pathologists, making it an important challenge to obtain an accurate TCR.

However, little is known about the role of tricellular tight junction molecule angulin-1/lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR). In the lung adenocarcinoma tissues examined in the present study, expression of claudin-2 was higher than in normal lung tissues, while angulin-1/LSR was poorly or faintly expressed.

Background: Reports of mucormycosis, an infectious disease that commonly affects immunocompromised individuals, have increased during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Disseminated mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 is rare but fatal and is characterized by an aggressive clinical course and delayed diagnosis. Our report documents a case of disseminated mucormycosis after COVID-19 infection.
