Screening our in-house compound collection using a cell based Plasmodium falciparum proliferation assay we discovered a known pan-kinase inhibitor scaffold as a hit. Further optimization of this series led us to a novel benzamide scaffold which was devoid of human kinase activity while retaining its antiplasmodial activity. The evolution of this compound series leading to optimized candidates with good cellular potency against multiple strains as well as decent in vivo profile is described in this Letter.

Small molecules that can bind to specific cells have broad applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Screening large chemical libraries against live cells is an effective strategy for discovering cell-targeting ligands. The DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL or DECL) technology has emerged as a robust tool in drug discovery and has been successfully utilized in identifying ligands for biological targets.

Article Synopsis
- 3D bioprinting shows great potential for enhancing stem cell research and creating new therapies in neural tissue engineering and disease modeling.
- Recent advancements in this technology are examined, including the advantages and limitations of different printing methods, the selection of bioink materials for stem cells, and the use of nanomaterials to improve outcomes.
- The paper also introduces 4D bioprinting and discusses its potential to create time-responsive constructs that enhance the integration and function of bioprinted neural tissues, which could significantly impact regenerative medicine.
The bidirectional interplay between T cell-based immunotherapies and the tumor microenvironment.

T cell-based therapies, including Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte Therapy (TIL), T cell receptor engineered T cells (TCR T), and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CAR T), are powerful therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. While these therapies are primarily known for their direct cytotoxic effects on cancer cells, accumulating evidence indicates that they also influence the tumor microenvironment (TME), by altering the cytokine milieu and recruiting additional effector populations to help orchestrate the antitumor immune response. Conversely, the TME itself can modulate the behaviour of these therapies within the host by either supporting or inhibiting their activity.

Objectives: Multiplex immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence (mIHC/IF) are emerging technologies that can be used to help define complex immunophenotypes in tissue, quantify immune cell subsets, and assess the spatial arrangement of marker expression. mIHC/IF assays require concerted efforts to optimize and validate the multiplex staining protocols prior to their application on slides. The best practice guidelines for staining and validation of mIHC/IF assays across platforms were previously published by this task force.

In the current study, a novel series of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activities. A cell-based antiproliferative screening was accomplished on the newly synthesized 1,2,4-oxadiazoles along with our previously reported aryl(alkyl)azoles (AAAs) containing middle heterocyclic cores thiazole and oxazole. Among the tested compounds, naphthyl- thiazoles demonstrated higher antiproliferative activity and B3 was identified as the most potent compound with IC values in the range of 2.
