Organic photothermal materials have attracted extensive attention due to their designable molecular structure, tunable excited-state properties, and excellent biocompatibility, however, the development of near-infrared II (NIR-II) absorbing organic photothermal materials with high photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) and molar extinction coefficient (ɛ) remains challenging. Herein, a novel "electron-donor iteration" strategy is proposed to construct organic photothermal dendrimers (CR-DPA-T, CR-(DPA)-T and CR-(DPA)-T) with donor-π-acceptor-π-donor (D-π-A-π-D) features and diradical characteristics. Owing to the enhanced D-A effect and intramolecular motions, their absorption and photothermal capacity increase as the generation grows.

- Mechanical stress is important for understanding how intervertebral discs (the discs in your spine) can degenerate, and the Piezo1 ion channel helps detect this stress and turn it into chemical signals.
- In experiments, researchers found that high mechanical stress causes problems in cells, like making them less healthy and increasing inflammation, which can harm the discs.
- The study concluded that too much stress increases Piezo1 levels, leading to cell damage and loss of important support structures in the discs, but blocking Piezo1 can help reduce some of the damage.
Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Elevated free fatty acids-induced lipotoxicity may play a vital role in the pathogenesis of β-cell insulin resistance. Exercise-stimulated myokine irisin has been reported to be closely related to T2DM.
