Objectives: Phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (P-MRSI) is a non-invasive tool for assessing cellular high-energy metabolism in-vivo. However, its acquisition suffers from a low sensitivity, which necessitates large voxel sizes or multiple averages to achieve an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), resulting in long scan times.
Materials And Methods: To overcome these limitations, we propose an acquisition and reconstruction scheme for FID-MRSI sequences.

Branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) represent a novel class of bioactive lipids with significant physiological roles. However, their identification, particularly of low-abundance FAHFA regioisomers, remains challenging due to their high structural similarity, low natural abundance, and the limited availability of reliable FAHFA standards. In this study, we present a QSAR-based FAHFA annotation strategy that integrates a QSAR model with an ester bond position (EP) rule to determine the EPs of FAHFA regioisomers.

mPTP is a multi-protein complex that opens in mitochondria during cell death. Cisplatin-induced hearing loss is also known to be caused by mPTP opening. Thus, our study evaluated the protective effect of a novel mPTP inhibitor named DBP-iPT against cisplatin-induced hearing loss.

S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is a crucial endogenous molecule in vital biochemical processes such as DNA, RNA, and protein methylation. It has been found beneficial in the treatment of liver disease, osteoarthritis, and particularly depression. However, SAMe's therapeutic potential is limited by low bioavailability due to poor permeability and extensive liver metabolism.

We have performed a data science study of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation trajectories to understand factors that can accelerate the formation of zeolite nanoporous crystals, a process that can take days or even weeks. In previous work, MC simulations predicted and experiments confirmed that using a secondary organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) accelerates the crystallization of all-silica LTA zeolite, with experiments finding a three-fold speedup [Bores et al., Phys.
