The review presents the recent data demonstrating the important role high-molecular inorganic polyphosphates in regulatory processes in a yeast cell. It has been shown that polyphosphates are localized in different cell compartments, where they are metabolized by a special set of enzymes. The review presents the evidence in favor of the concept of multiple functions of these biopolymers in a cell, as well as the data on the pleiotropic effects of mutations in the genes encoding the enzymes of polyphosphate metabolism.

ConspectusRare earth (RE) elements, due to their unique electronic structures, exhibit excellent optical, electrical, and magnetic properties and thus have found widespread applications in the fields of electronics, optics, and biomedicine. A significant advancement in the use of RE elements is the formation of RE complexes. RE complexes, created by the coordination of RE ions with organic ligands, not only offer high molecular design flexibility but also incorporate features such as a broad absorption band and efficient energy transfer of organic ligands.

Room-temperature cavity quantum electrodynamics with molecular materials in optical cavities offers exciting prospects for controlling electronic, nuclear and photonic degrees of freedom for applications in physics, chemistry and materials science. However, achieving strong coupling with molecular ensembles typically requires high molecular densities and substantial electromagnetic-field confinement. These conditions usually involve a significant degree of molecular disorder and a highly structured photonic density of states.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined a tropical estuary affected by pollutants, highlighting that sediment had higher contamination levels than surface water, especially in heavy metals and hydrocarbons.
- The microbial community analysis found that Proteobacteria were dominant in both water and sediment, with significant differences in microbiome composition and functionality between the two environments.
- The sediment microbiome showed adaptations to pollutants, suggesting its potential use for bioremediation efforts in cleaning up the estuary.

Herein, we report a study on the preparation, properties, and depolymerization of pristine and vulcanized poly(cyclopentene) (poly(CP)), poly(norbornene--cyclopentene) (poly(NB--CP)) and poly(-dicyclopentadiene--cyclopentene) (poly (DCP--CP)). First, poly(CP), poly(NB--CP) and poly(DCP--CP) were prepared with high molecular weight control ( = 200 000-500 000) using dichloro(3-phenyl-1-inden-1-ylidene)bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium(ii). Next, carbon black, zinc oxide and other additives were blended into the pristine polymers using a mixer and twin roll rubber mills at 50 °C, followed by vulcanization in metal molds at 160 °C for 10 min, resulting in molded black rubber specimens.

Article Synopsis
- High molecular weights and moduli are necessary for polymer composites to withstand deformation during hot press molding, often resulting in poor flexibility and complicated preparation processes.
- A novel method is introduced to create flexible composites with large-size segregated structures by using silver-coated polydopamine-modified reduced graphene oxide as conductive fillers and PDMS-coated POE beads in a simple shaking process.
- The resulting composites demonstrate excellent electrical conductivity and strong EMI shielding effectiveness while maintaining stability after mechanical stress, highlighting their potential for practical applications.
