A novel one-pot N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalysed dithiolation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (enals) with organic disulfides is reported. The protocol involves homoenolate reactivity of enals, where the homoenolate attacks on the disulfide as a d(3) nucleophile followed by thioesterification to afford β-aryl/alkylsulfanyl thioesters with complete atom economy.

During fast-charging, uneven lithium plating on the surface of commercial graphite anode impedes the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries, causing a safety issue. The formation of a passivation layer, the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), due to side reactions with the organic electrolyte, correlates with long-term cycling performance under fast-charging conditions, necessitating comprehensive analysis. Herein, it is demonstrated that a molybdenum disulfide (MoS) coating on natural graphite (NG) modulates the properties of the SEI layer, enabling reduction of the charging time and the enhancement of long-term cycling performance.

Effective glycemic control is paramount for optimal wound healing in diabetic patients. Traditional antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments, while important, often fall short in addressing the hyperglycemic conditions of diabetic wounds. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic strategies for accelerating diabetic wound healing has garnered escalating attention.

Ferroptosis plays an important role in radiotherapy (RT), and the induction of ferroptosis can effectively sensitize radiotherapy. However, the therapeutic efficiency is always affected by ferroptosis resistance, especially SLC7A11 (Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11)-cystine-cysteine-GSH (glutathione)-GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4) pathway-mediated resistance. In this study, tumor-microenvironment self-activated high-Z element-containing nanoferroptosis inducers, PEGylated Fe-Bi-SS metal-organic frameworks (FBSP MOFs), were developed to sensitize RT.

Metal-catalytic conversion of polysulfide reagents is a major challenge in organic synthesis due to its challenging activation modes of multiple S-S bonds. The utilization of aryl di- and trithiosulfonates in nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling with aryl halides has been unexplored. Herein, we unprecedentedly describe PPh and Zn-collaborative reduction-induced nickel-catalytic selective C-S coupling of aryl di/trithiosulfonates with aryl halides to access sulfides over common disulfides or trisulfides.

Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a uniquely versatile protein with diverse catalytic activities, such as transglutaminase, protein disulfide isomerase, GTPase and protein kinase, and participates in several biological processes. According to information available in the RBP2GO database, TG2 can act as an RNA-binding protein (RBP). RBPs participate in posttranscriptional gene expression regulation, therefore influencing the function of RNA, whereas RNA molecules can also modulate the biological activity of RBPs.
