A series of 1-benzoyl isoquinolines, based on compound 1, was synthesized and evaluated for their ability to displace IGF-I from its complex with IGF-binding protein-3. Successful modifications of 1 included the replacement of the 3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl group with a substituted benzyl group. These alternations culminated in the discovery of compounds such as 7o which had excellent in vitro potency (K(i)=9.4 nM) but with one less of the labile catechol functionality of 1.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique used to support severe cardiopulmonary failure. Its potential life-saving benefits are tempered by the significant risk for acute brain injury (ABI), from both primary pathophysiologic factors and ECMO-related complications through central nervous system cellular injury, blood-brain barrier dysfunction (BBB), systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation, and coagulopathy. Plasma biomarkers are an emerging tool used to stratify risk for and diagnose ABI, and prognosticate neurofunctional outcomes.

Nanotechnology involves the utilization of materials with exceptional properties at the nanoscale. Over the past few years, nanotechnologies have demonstrated significant potential in improving human health, particularly in medical treatments. The self-assembly characteristic of RNA is a highly effective method for designing and constructing nanostructures using a combination of biological, chemical, and physical techniques from different fields.

Polysorbates (PS), as non-ionic surfactants, contribute significantly to the stability of proteins in formulations. However, their lack of chromophore groups makes them difficult to detect with high sensitivity and simplicity. The charged aerosol detector (CAD) is an emerging and universal detector that can provide highly sensitive response signals to non-volatile or semi-volatile substances, such as esters, acids, oxidized aldehydes, and contaminant ions in PS.

Extracellular vesicles (EV), including exosomes or small EV (sEV) derived from biological fluids, such as milk, have garnered increasing interest in veterinary medicine because of their role in the pathophysiology and understanding of the disease status of the host. Bovine milk serves as a rich source of sEV, containing diverse cargoes of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, which play a critical role in intercellular communication and regulation of host status. Although it is more difficult to isolate and purify sEV from bovine milk than from human breast milk, challenges persist in enabling the enrichment and analysis of sEV populations, facilitating the elucidation of their functional roles and prognostic potential in cattle diseases.

This review follows the PRISMA guidelines to provide a systematic review of 115 peer reviewed articles that used non-targeted analysis (NTA) methods to detect per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS). This literature highlights the significant positive impact of NTA in understanding PFAS in the environment. Within the literature a geographical bias exists, with most NTA studies (∼60 %) conducted in the United States and China.
