Neutral dinuclear Cu(II) complexes of Schiff base ligands derived from D-glucose have been synthesized and structurally characterized. These complexes were evaluated for their interaction with DNA, and DNA cleavage was observed even in the presence of radical inhibitors.

Nanoplastics, as emerging contaminants, have been causing great panic, potentially affecting human health in recent years. Some studies have indicated that nanoplastics may induce severe toxicity. However, the mechanisms underlying this potential toxicity are insufficiently understood.

Aim: To achieve glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in skeletal muscle of T1D mice, thereby controlling blood glucose levels and preventing or mitigating diabetes-related complications.
Materials And Methods: We developed the GANIT (Glucose-Activated NFAT-regulated INSA-F Transcription) system, an innovative platform building upon the previously established intramuscular plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery and expression system. In the GANIT system, skeletal muscle cells are genetically engineered to endogenously produce the insulin analogue INSA-F (Insulin Aspart with Furin cleavage sites).

Solid-state nanopore is a promising single molecular detection technique, but is largely limited by relatively low resolution to small-size targets and laborious design of signaling probes. Here we establish a universal, CRISPR/Cas-Assisted Nanopore Operational Nexus (CANON), which can accurately transduce different targeting sources/species into different DNA structural probes via a "Signal-ON" mode. Target recognition activates the cleavage activity of a Cas12a/crRNA system and then completely digest the blocker of an initiator.

Conjugation, the major driver of the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes, relies on a conjugation pilus for DNA transfer. Conjugative pili, such as the F-pilus, are dynamic tubular structures, composed of a polymerized pilin, that mediate the initial donor-recipient interactions, a process known as mating pair formation (MPF). IncH are low-copy-number plasmids, traditionally considered broad host range, which are found in bacteria infecting both humans and animals.

Photodynamic therapy is an important tool in modern medicine due to its effectiveness, safety, and the ability to provide targeted treatment for a range of diseases. Photodynamic therapy utilizes photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Fullerenes can be used as photosensitizers to produce ROS in high quantum yields.
