Purple Tea (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) Leaves and Obesity Management: A Review of 1,2-Di-Galloyl-4,6-Hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-Glucose's (GHG) Potential Health Benefits, and Future Prospects.

Purple tea ( var. ) is a distinct variety of  known for its bioactive compounds, including caffeine, catechins, and a unique compound called 1,2-di-Galloyl-4,6-Hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-Glucose, (GHG) found predominantly in purple tea leaves, which shows potential in obesity management. Studies have indicated that these bioactive compounds play a significant role in reducing BMI and body weight among obese patients.

A microanatomical study of the precentral cerebral wall in human fetuses of the second trimester with ventriculomegaly and corpus callosal dysgenesis.

Background: The complex structure and function of the cerebrum make it a key focus in neuroscience research. It develops from telencephalic vesicles through processes such as cell growth, division, and migration from the neuroepithelium's ventricular matrix, forming the six-layered isocortex or neocortex. Multipotent neuroepithelial cells give rise to both neuronal and glial precursors, which populate the cerebral cortex.

Interfacial water confers transcription factors with dinucleotide specificity.

Transcription factors (TFs) recognize specific bases within their DNA-binding motifs, with each base contributing nearly independently to total binding energy. However, the energetic contributions of particular dinucleotides can deviate strongly from the additive approximation, indicating that some TFs can specifically recognize DNA dinucleotides. Here we solved high-resolution (<1 Å) structures of MYF5 and BARHL2 bound to DNAs containing sets of dinucleotides that have different affinities to the proteins.

Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Guided Surgery in Pediatric Hepatobiliary Procedures: A Feasibility Study for Improved Intraoperative Visualization.

Introduction Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence guided surgery (FGS) is reported extensively in adult operations, but its safety and applications in Pediatric populations remain to be comprehensively understood. The dose, administration protocols and intraoperative imaging benefits in Pediatric hepatobiliary operations are not clear. Objectives To identify the feasibility and applications of ICG Fluorescence Guided Surgery (FGS) in hepatobiliary surgeries (for biliary atresia, choledochal cyst, and cholelithiasis) in children.

Silver-purine MOFs for high-performance multi-terminal neuromorphic memory.

Neuromorphic and fully analog in-memory computations are promising for handling vast amounts of data with minimal energy consumption. We have synthesized and studied a series of homo-bimetallic silver purine MOFs (1D and 2D) having direct metal-metal bonding. The N7-derivatized purine ligands are designed to form bi-metallic complexes under ambient conditions, extending to a 1D or 2D metal-organic framework.
