The tunable molecular scaffold of organic moieties in metallopolymers generates variation in their properties, but what could be the minimal change that can produce variation in the properties of these macromolecules is still untouched. This research has meticulously explored the trivial change in the molecular scaffold of the ligand capable of making a mammoth difference in the nonvolatile memory and coordination pattern in two metallopolymers. The significance of this research lies in the fact that it demonstrates how a slight change in the organic building block can significantly alter the memristive and fluorescence properties of iron(II) metallopolymers, opening up new possibilities for their design and synthesis.

Article Synopsis
  • - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that severely impacts the whole body and is a leading cause of disability, influenced by genetics and environmental factors.
  • - The presence of abnormal B cells and specific autoantibodies plays a significant role in the progression of RA, leading to increased interest in drug therapies that target B cell receptors (BCRs).
  • - Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key enzyme in B cell regulation; recent studies show that BTK inhibitors can effectively treat RA, paving the way for future research on their mechanisms and clinical applications.

Introduction: The global measles incidence has decreased from 145 to 49 cases per 1 million population from 2000 to 2018, but evaluating the economic benefits of a second measles-containing vaccine (MCV2) is crucial. This study reviewed the evidence and quality of economic evaluation studies to guide MCV2 introduction.

Methods: The systematic review of model-based economic evaluation studies was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Childhood overweight/obesity is a serious global public health issue, demanding parental involvement to reverse trends. Despite fathers' crucial parenting roles, research on fathers and childhood overweight/obesity is limited. This scoping review examines the literature on fathers' nutrition knowledge and feeding practices with childhood overweight/obesity.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have received immense interest lately as a potential nanomaterial because of their excellent mechanical and biological properties. This investigation aims to formulate a composite coating made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), CNCs, and a methanolic extract from the dried leaves and fruit of the fig tree (Ficus auriculata) (FAE). A sequential procedure to get CNCs included alkaline and acid hydrolysis, sonication, and suitable methods for purification.
