Fluorescent zinc(II) thione and selone complexes for light-emitting applications.

Three 1-(anthracene-9-ylmethyl)-3-isopropyl-imidazol-2-thione Zn(II) halide complexes (1-3) and one 1-(anthracene-9-ylmethyl)-3-isopropyl-imidazol-2-selone Zn(II) dichloride complex (4) were synthesized and characterized. Complexes 2, 3, and 4 exhibited distorted tetrahedral geometries, while complex 1 adopted a regular tetrahedral geometry. All these complexes displayed emission in the crystalline state, with complex 3 emitting in the yellow region and complex 1 and 4 in the blue region, while complex 2 gave a bluish-green emission.

Topological Disclination States and Charge Fractionalization in a Non-Hermitian Lattice.

We show that a non-Hermitian lattice with a disclination can host topological disclination states that are induced by on-site gain and loss. The disclination states are inherently non-Hermitian as they do not exist in the limit of zero gain or loss. They arise from charge fractionalization in the non-Hermitian lattice, which we establish using non-Hermitian Wilson loops calculated with biorthogonal products.

Ligand Assisted Co(II)-Catalyzed Multicomponent Synthesis of Substituted Pyrroles and Pyridines.

Herein, we describe a sustainable Co(II)-catalyzed synthesis of pyrroles and pyridines. Using a Co(II)-catalyst [CoII2(La)2Cl2] (1a) bearing redox-active 2-(phenyldiazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) (La) scaffold, various substituted pyrroles and pyridines were synthesized in good yields, taking alcohol as one of the primary feedstock. Pyrroles were synthesized by the equimolar reaction of 2-amino and secondary alcohols.

Peripheral Ameloblastoma Resembling an Exophytic Gingival Lesion: A Report of a Rare Case.

Peripheral ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing odontogenic neoplasm prevalent in the mandible. It originates from the odontogenic epithelium and its remnants, and its histological characteristics are identical to those of intraosseous ameloblastoma. It is less aggressive and invasive than its intraosseous variety, with a low recurrence rate.

Endosomal pH is an evolutionarily conserved driver of phenotypic plasticity in colorectal cancer.

Dysregulated pH is now recognised as a hallmark of cancer. Recent evidence has revealed that the endosomal pH regulator Na/H exchanger NHE9 is upregulated in colorectal cancer to impose a pseudo-starvation state associated with invasion, highlighting an underexplored mechanistic link between adaptive endosomal reprogramming and malignant transformation. In this study, we use a model that quantitatively captures the dynamics of the core regulatory network governing epithelial mesenchymal plasticity.
