(Z)-3-Substituted-2-(4-pyridyl)-acrylonitriles, a reactive class of Michael acceptors obtained exclusively as a single (Z) isomer, reacted with un-substituted isocyanoacetate esters mediated by phase-transfer catalysis to give, after base promoted cyclisation, functionalized imines in up to 94% ee and as a single diastereoisomer.

Plants must effectively respond to various environmental stimuli to achieve optimal growth. This is especially relevant in the context of climate change, where drought emerges as a major factor globally impacting crops and limiting overall yield potential. Throughout evolution, plants have developed adaptative strategies for environmental stimuli, with plant hormones and reactive oxygen species (ROS) playing essential roles in their development.

The overprescription of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture has accelerated the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which severely limits the arsenal available to clinicians for treating bacterial infections. This work discovered a new class of heteroarylcyanovinyl quinazolones and quinazolone pyridiniums to surmount the increasingly severe bacterial resistance. Bioactive assays manifested that the highly active compound exhibited strong inhibition against MRSA and with extremely low MICs of 0.

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system plays a critical role in transplant immunology, influencing outcomes through various immune-mediated rejection mechanisms. Hyperacute rejection is driven by preformed donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) targeting HLAs, leading to complement activation and graft loss within hours to days. Acute rejection typically occurs within six months post-transplantation, involving cellular and humoral responses, including the formation of de novo DSAs.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated, fibroinflammatory, multiorgan disease with an obscure pathogenesis. Findings indicating excessive platelet activation have been reported in systemic sclerosis, which is another autoimmune, multisystemic fibrotic disorder. The immune-mediated, inflammatory, and fibrosing intersections of IgG4-RD and systemic sclerosis raised a question about platelets' role in IgG4-RD.

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) worldwide is rapid and significant on a global scale. A 2022 meta-analysis of data from 28 million individuals revealed a global prevalence of 45.1%, with notably higher rates in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and the Americas, particularly in high-income countries.
