A modular concept for the generation of achiral and chiral non-racemic tetrahedral tectons from common precursors was developed. The tectons presented here are based on tetraphenylmethane or 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyladamantane core structures. They are obtained through high-yielding four-fold click reactions, using either the tetraazido or the tetraalkyne precursors. In most cases, the tetratriazoles are obtained as pure products after simple washing with water and methanol. The side chains of the tectons prepared include a self-complementary DNA dimer, obtained from a 3'-azidonucleoside and a phosphoramidite. The concept allows for a variation of the "sticky ends", leading to tecton or ligand libraries.

This study reports the synthesis of cofacial organic cage molecules containing aggregation-induced emissive (AIE) luminogens (AIEgens) through four-fold Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) "click" reactions. The shorter AIEgen, tetraphenylethylene (TPE), afforded two orientational isomers (TPE-CC-1A and TPE-CC-1B). The longer AIEgen, tetrabiphenylethylene (TBPE), afforded a single isomer (TBPE-CC-2).

This article explores how to harvest precise object segmentation masks while minimizing the human interaction cost. To achieve this, we propose a simple yet effective interaction scheme, named Inside-Outside Guidance (IOG). Concretely, we leverage an inside point that is clicked near the object center and two outside points at the symmetrical corner locations (top-left and bottom-right or top-right and bottom-left) of an almost-tight bounding box that encloses the target object.

Synthesis, hybridization and fluorescence properties of a 2'-C-pyrene-triazole modified arabino-uridine nucleotide.

Nucleic Acid Center, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense M, Denmark. Electronic address:

A new pyrene-modified nucleotide monomer is introduced, wherein pyrene is attached to the 2'-position of arabino-uridine through a triazolemethyl linker. When the monomer is introduced into oligonucleotides, very stable DNA duplexes and three way junctions are obtained. An oligonucleotide featuring two modifications in the center shows four-fold increase in the intensity of the pyrene excimer signal on hybridization with an RNA target but not with a DNA target.

This study was aimed at developing an optical molecular imaging approach to measure differences in uptake and intracellular retention of choline in clinically isolated tissue biopsies from head and neck cancer patients. An optically detectable analogue of choline (propargyl choline) was synthesized and evaluated in 2D and 3D models and clinically isolated paired biopsies (n = 22 biopsies). Fluorescence contrast between clinically abnormal and normal tissues based on uptake and intracellular retention of propargyl choline was measured and correlated with pathologic diagnosis.
