We demonstrate that the electrical "switching" behavior of single molecules connected between two electrode contacts can be controlled by altering their structure and electrochemical characteristics. The electrical properties of gold|molecule|gold single molecule junctions incorporating HS(CH2)6-X-(CH2)6SH, where X = viologen (4,4'-bipyridinium) or pyrrolotetrathiafulvalene, are determined using a scanning tunneling microscopy based technique. The switching behavior, controlled through a tuneable electrochemical gate, changes from an on-off response (viologen) to an off-on-off response (pyrrolotetrathiafulvalene) on changing the central redox group. In contrast, the electrical properties of junctions incorporating redox-inactive HS(CH2)6-1,4-C6H4-(CH2)6SH do not alter significantly as a function of applied potential.

Purpose: Immunometabolism is pivotal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, yet the intricacies of its pathological regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study explores the complex immunometabolic landscape of RA to identify potential therapeutic targets.
Patients And Methods: We integrated genome-wide association study (GWAS) data involving 1,400 plasma metabolites, 731 immune cell traits, and RA outcomes from over 58,000 participants.

Background: Programmed cell death (PCD) is closely related to the occurrence, development, and treatment of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between various programmed cell death patterns and the prognosis of breast cancer (BRCA) patients.
Methods: The levels of 19 different programmed cell deaths in breast cancer were assessed by ssGSEA analysis, and these PCD scores were summed to obtain the PCDS for each sample.

In recent decades, organic electrosynthesis has emerged as a practical, sustainable, and efficient approach that facilitates valuable transformations in synthetic chemistry. Combining electrochemistry with transition-metal catalysis is a promising and rapidly growing methodology for effectively forming challenging C-C and C-heteroatom bonds in complex molecules in a sustainable manner. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the combination of electrochemistry and copper catalysis for various organic transformations.

Objective: Primary tumors of the brain and a large percent of malignant brain tumors are gliomas. Gliomas comprise high-grade gliomas like glioblastoma multiforme (GBMs), many of which have mutation in the tumor suppressor p53 gene and low-grade gliomas (LGGs). LGGs can progress to GBMs due to various factors.
