Adlayers of different azobenzene-functionalized derivatives of the triazatriangulenium (TATA) platform on Au(111) surfaces were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), gap-mode surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (gap-mode SERS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The chemical composition of the adlayers is in good agreement with the molecular structure, i.e., different chemical groups attached to the azobenzene functionality were identified. Furthermore, the presence of the azobenzene moieties in the adlayers was verified by the vibration spectra and electrochemical data. These results indicate that the molecules remain intact upon adsorption with the freestanding functional groups oriented perpendicularly to the TATA platform and thus also to the substrate surface.

Background: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive adult primary brain cancer, characterized by significant heterogeneity, posing challenges for patient management, treatment planning, and clinical trial stratification.
Methods: We developed a highly reproducible, personalized prognostication and clinical subgrouping system using machine learning (ML) on routine clinical data, MRI, and molecular measures from 2,838 demographically diverse patients across 22 institutions and 3 continents. Patients were stratified into favorable, intermediate, and poor prognostic subgroups (I, II, III) using Kaplan-Meier analysis (Cox proportional model and hazard ratios [HR]).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of cancer cachexia in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), focusing on how body composition changes over time can help identify cachexia.
- It utilizes a cohort of unresectable HCC patients treated with specific therapies, analyzing body composition through CT scans to categorize patients into different cachexia phases based on their skeletal muscle mass and total adipose tissue.
- Findings reveal that patients experiencing significant declines in muscle and tissue mass have worse overall survival outcomes, highlighting the importance of monitoring body composition in HCC treatment plans.
A new discrete-geometry approach for integrative docking of proteins using chemical crosslinks.

The structures of protein complexes allow us to understand and modulate the biological functions of the proteins. Integrative docking is a computational method to obtain the structures of a protein complex, given the atomic structures of the constituent proteins along with other experimental data on the complex, such as chemical crosslinks or SAXS profiles. Here, we develop a new discrete geometry-based method, wall-EASAL, for integrative rigid docking of protein pairs given the structures of the constituent proteins and chemical crosslinks.

Desmosomes mediate cell-cell adhesion and are prevalent in tissues under mechanical stress. However, their detailed structural characterization is not available. Here, we characterized the molecular architecture of the desmosomal outer dense plaque (ODP) using Bayesian integrative structural modeling via the Integrative Modeling Platform.
