(S,S)- and (R,R)-β,γ-Bis-substituted PNAs were synthesized from the C-2 symmetric vicinal diamine system embedded in 1,4 dihydroxybutane and 1,4-dimethoxybutane scaffolds. (R,R)-β,γ-Bis-methoxymethyl-PNA derived from d-tartaric acid was found to be in the right configuration and conformation to be an excellent mimic of PNA, endowed with superior ability to enter into cells.

Bimetallic synergy in non-precious metal Mn/Ba-SSZ-13 zeolite for improving NO storage capacity at low temperatures.

Pd-zeolite is considered one of the most promising passive NO adsorber (PNA) materials for NO purification in diesel vehicles during cold start. Nevertheless, the scarcity and high cost of the precious metal Pd restrict the industrialisation of Pd-zeolites as PNA. This work developed a bimetallic Mn and Ba co-modified SSZ-13 as non-precious metal PNA material.

The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) contains neurons that relay sensory swallowing commands information from the oropharyngeal cavity and swallowing premotor neurons of the dorsal swallowing group (DSG). However, the spatio-temporal dynamics of the interplay between the sensory relay and the DSG is not well understood. Here, we employed fluorescence imaging after microinjection of the calcium indicator into the NTS in an arterially perfused brainstem preparation of rat (n = 8) to investigate neuronal population activity in the NTS in response to superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) stimulation.

Thermochromic smart windows have been widely developed for building energy saving. However, most smart windows suffer from limited energy-saving performance, fixed phase transition temperature, and are not suitable for the temperature regulation needs of different application scenarios. Herein, a unique self-adaptive thermochromic hydrogel (HBPEC-PNA) with self-moisture-absorbing performance is reported that assembles solar energy cooling and evaporative heat dissipation.

Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) is a critical issue with significant implications for patient care, public health, and TB control efforts that necessitate comprehensive strategies for detection. This study presents a novel point-of-care diagnostic tool for RR-TB detection employing a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-paper-based sensor combined with isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). The sensor targets mutations in codons 516, 526, and 531 of the rpoB gene, the top three common mutations associated with rifampicin-resistant strains.
