The radical anion of cyclopentasilane-fused hexasilabenzvalene was synthesized by the reduction of the corresponding neutral compound. X-ray crystallographic analysis showed a more trans-bent structure of the disilene moiety than the neutral compound. Theoretical calculations showed that the highly trans-bent structure is attributed to the hexasilabenzvalene structure. The EPR spectrum showed that an unpaired electron exists mainly at the disilene moiety. In the UV/Vis spectrum, a large bathochromic shift was observed compared with the neutral compound.

Introduction: In vitro screening of macrophages for drug-induced effects, such as phospholipidosis, is useful for detecting potentially problematic compounds in the preclinical development of oral inhaled products. High-content image analysis (HCIA) is a multi-parameter approach for cytotoxicity screening. This study provides new insights into HCIA-derived response patterns of murine J774A.

Marine microbial communities colonizing the skin of invertebrates constitute the primary barrier between host and environment, potentially exerting beneficial, neutral, or detrimental effects on host fitness. To evaluate the potential contribution of epibiotic bacteria to the survival of early developmental stages of Octopus mimus, bacterial isolates were obtained from eggs, paralarvae, and adults. Their enzymatic activities were determined, and antibacterial properties were assessed against common marine pathogens.

Fiber is essential for rumen health, microbial fermentation, and the energy supply of herbivores. Even though the study of fecal fiber contents (neutral detergent fiber NDF, acid detergent fiber ADF, and acid detergent lignin ADL) using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has allowed investigating nutritional ecology of different herbivore species, NIRS calibrations are species-specific and require a large number of samples for predictions. A multispecies calibration would be an advantage since samples from different herbivores could be used to calibrate a model capable of predicting the fecal fiber content of other herbivores.

Bismuth oxide nanosheets were synthesized through the exfoliation of layered compounds without any organic exfoliation agents. The layered compound BiSrCaFeO, comprising Bi-O layers and Sr-Ca-Fe-O layers, was synthesized as the starting material. The Sr-Ca-Fe-O layers were selectively dissolved by shaking the compound in 0.

Lipid droplets (LDs), once regarded as inert fat particles, have been ignored by scientific researchers for a long time. Now, studies have shown that LDs are dynamic organelles used to store neutral lipids in cells and maintain cell stability. The abnormality of intracellular LDs usually causes metabolic disorders in the body, such as obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer, so the LDs have attracted wide attention.
