We describe the coupling of anilines with aryl boronic acids, under ligand-, base-, and salt-free conditions at room temperature. This new reaction proceeds through the formation of an aryl palladium alkoxo complex, which allows the transmetalation step with aryl boronic acids without any external base. Importantly, this sustainable procedure generates only environmentally friendly byproducts such as tBuOH, H2O, N2, and B(OH)3. The reaction mechanism has been deeply investigated through experimental and theoretical studies.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare T-cell malignancy characterized by inflamed and painful rash-like skin lesions that may affect large portions of the body's surface. Patients experience recurrent infections due to a compromised skin barrier and generalized immunodeficiency resulting from a dominant Th2 immune phenotype of CTCL cells. Given the role of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in normal and malignant T-cell development, we investigated the impact of UPR-inducing drugs on the viability, transcriptional networks, and Th2 phenotype of CTCL.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is relatively rare, and the specific mechanism is still unclear. The previous infection, surgery, and medication use may have contributed to the occurrence of GBS. The use of bortezomib in patients with MM can easily lead to peripheral neuropathy, which is similar to the symptoms of GBS, making it challenging to diagnose GBS.

Purpose: A comprehensive analysis of metabolites (metabolomics) has been proposed as a new strategy for analyzing liquid biopsies and has been applied to identify biomarkers predicting clinical responses or adverse events associated with specific treatments. Here, we aimed to identify metabolites associated with bortezomib (Btz)-related toxicities and response to treatment in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: Fifty-four plasma samples from transplant-ineligible MM patients enrolled in a randomized phase II study comparing two less-intensive regimens of melphalan, prednisolone and Btz (MPB) were subjected to the lipidomic profiling analysis.

Visible light-driven pyridoxal radical biocatalysis has emerged as a new strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of valuable noncanonical amino acids in a protecting-group-free fashion. In our previously developed dehydroxylative C-C coupling using engineered PLP-dependent tryptophan synthases, an enzyme-controlled unusual α-stereochemistry reversal and pH-controlled enantiopreference were observed. Herein, through high-throughput photobiocatalysis, we evolved a set of stereochemically complementary PLP radical enzymes, allowing the synthesis of both l- and d-amino acids with enhanced enantiocontrol across a broad pH window.

Background: Foodborne pathogenic bacteria lead to a significant increase in illnesses and fatalities annually. In the early stage of a pathogenic bacterial infection, the concentration of bacteria in food is lower than the detection limit of most technology which enhances the difficulty in diagnosis. It is a serious challenge for researchers to develop a rapid, sensitive, accurate, and stable pathogenic bacterial determination method without costly equipment and highly skilled operators.
