The assembly of supertetrahedral chalcogenolate clusters (SCCs) and multifunctional organic linkers could lead to the formation of tunable structures and synergistic properties. Two SCC-based assembled materials (SCCAM-1 and -2) constructed by a triangular chromophore ligand, tris(4-pyridylphenyl)amine, were successfully synthesized and characterized. The SCCAMs demonstrate unusually long-lived afterglow at low temperatures (83 K) and efficient activities for the photocatalytic degradation of organic dye in water.

- SPARC is linked to the progression of colon cancer and plays a role in tumor invasion and angiogenesis, with its expression primarily found in the stromal cells around tumors.
- In a study involving 114 patients, researchers assessed the relationship between SPARC and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) using tissue samples from cancerous and non-diseased colon, finding that SPARC levels were significantly correlated with VEGF expression and microvessel density.
- Low or absent levels of SPARC in tissues were associated with poorer overall and disease-free survival rates, suggesting that SPARC could be a valuable prognostic marker and potential target for colon cancer treatment.
