Photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) has emerged as a promising strategy to selectively target cancer cells by using light irradiation to generate cytotoxic complexes in situ through a mechanism involving ligand-loss. Due to their rich optical properties and excited state chemistry, Ru polypyridyl complexes have attracted significant attention for PACT. However, studying PACT is complicated by the fact that many of these Ru complexes can also undergo excited-state electron transfer to generate O species.

- Urbanization is increasingly studied for its effects on species movement and gene flow, particularly focusing on how native species adapt or thrive in urban settings.
- Researchers investigated the genetic structure and gene flow of two small mammals (white-footed mice and big brown bats) with differing dispersal abilities in the Providence, Rhode Island metropolitan area.
- The study found that urbanization significantly impacts mice, leading to reduced migration and inbreeding, while bats maintained strong genetic connectivity due to their ability to fly, highlighting the importance of dispersal capacity in urban ecology.
