A simple approach to the synthesis of phosphoramidite synthons for non-nucleotide inserts using 4-(2-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityloxy)ethyl)morpholine-2,3-dione as a key precursor is suggested. Using the method developed various inserts have been introduced into oligonucleotides to obtain intercalator-containing (acridine) as well as branched oligonucleotides.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are bioplastics produced by few bacteria as intracellular lipid inclusions under excess carbon source and nutrient-deprived conditions. These polymers are biodegradable and resemble petroleum-based plastics. The rising environmental concerns have increased the demand for PHA, but the low yield in wild-type bacterial strains limits large-scale production.

Background: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1, a matrix component of extracellular microfibrils. The main cause of morbidity and mortality in MFS is thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, but the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined.
Methods: To elucidate the role of endothelial XOR (xanthine oxidoreductase)-derived reactive oxygen species in aortic aneurysm progression, we inhibited in vivo function of XOR either by endothelial cell (EC)-specific disruption of the gene or by systemic administration of an XOR inhibitor febuxostat in MFS mice harboring the missense mutation p.

Background & Aims: rs738409 variant is a risk factor for onset and progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to assess its global prevalence, clinical and histological characteristics, and long-term outcomes in patients with MASLD.
Methods: PubMed and Embase databases were searched until December 30, 2023, for observational studies on genotyped adults with MASLD.

Catalysis plays a vital role in green chemistry by improving process efficiency, reducing waste, and minimizing environmental impact. A biochar-modified g-CN·SOH (BCNSA) catalyst was developed using biochar derived from amla seed powder and CNSA. CNSA was synthesized the reaction of g-CN with chlorosulfonic acid.
