The novel amphiphilic vitamin C derivative disodium isostearyl 2-O-L-ascorbyl phosphate (VCP-IS-2Na), which has a C(18) alkyl chain attached to the stable ascorbate derivative sodium L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (VCP-Na), was evaluated for reduction of cell damage induced by oxidative stress, ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB), and H(2)O(2); stimulation of collagen synthesis against UVA irradiation; and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) activity induced by UVA in human normal dermal fibroblasts. VCP-IS-2Na pretreatment resulted in significant protection against cell damage induced by UVB, UVA, and H(2)O(2). The amount of type I collagen following UVA irradiation was increased by treatment with VCP-IS-2Na in a concentration-dependent manner. These effects of VCP-IS-2Na were superior to those of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C, VC) and VCP-Na. On the other hand, VCP-IS-2Na suppressed 65% of the excess MMP-1 irradiated UVA, and VC and VCP-Na slightly suppressed it.

Osteoporosis, a common metabolic bone disorder, leads to increased fracture risk and significant morbidity, particularly in postmenopausal women and the elderly. Traditional treatments often fail to fully restore bone health and may cause side effects, prompting the exploration of regenerative therapies. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) offer potential for osteoporosis treatment, but their natural inclination toward adipogenic rather than osteogenic differentiation poses a challenge.

Biological control plays an increasingly important role in various aspects of modern agriculture and forestry. Identifying biocontrol strains with commercial potential for effective disease management is currently a focal point in biological control research. In this study, XHG-1-3m2, a strain with significant biocontrol potential against causing shot hole disease in wild apricots, was developed.

Synthesis, solubility and cytotoxicity evaluation of anionic phosphonates derived from betulin, betulinic acid, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid is reported. Phosphonate moieties were successfully installed at terpenoid C28 by carboxylic acid deprotonation/alkylation sequence using (dimethoxyphosphoryl)methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as alkylation reagent. Also, betulin-derived and ether-linked bis-phosphonate is obtained and characterized.

Article Synopsis
- Heavy metal pollution significantly harms the environment and human health, necessitating effective detection methods for heavy metal ions (HMIs).
- A new portable composite film (CPSE) was created using cellulose nanofibers and modified starch to accurately detect HMIs, with quick response times of 2-4 seconds and a wide range of detection for various metals like copper, lead, and iron.
- The addition of modified starch and calcium EDTA improved the film's strength and durability, indicating potential for future developments in biomass-based detection materials.

Article Synopsis
- Natural and modified clay minerals, specifically organoclays synthesized from bentonite and various surfactants, are explored as effective sorbents for cleaning up lead ion contamination in environments.
- The adsorption of lead ions was best described by the Langmuir model, with high R values indicating good fit (0.97 to 0.99), and the organoclays showed varied effectiveness based on the type of surfactant used.
- The study revealed that organoclays enhance electrostatic interactions with lead ions due to changes in zeta potential during modification, suggesting that mechanisms like ion exchange and electrostatic attraction are key to their efficiency in lead absorption.
