DNA-joining by ligase and polymerase enzymes has provided the foundational tools for generating recombinant DNA and enabled the assembly of gene and genome-sized synthetic products. Xenobiotic nucleic acid (XNA) analogues of DNA and RNA with alternatives to the canonical bases, so-called 'unnatural' nucleobase pairs (UBP-XNAs), represent the next frontier of nucleic acid technologies, with applications as novel therapeutics and in engineering semi-synthetic biological organisms. To realise the full potential of UBP-XNAs, researchers require a suite of compatible enzymes for processing nucleic acids on a par with those already available for manipulating canonical DNA.

The multi-component ring-opening reactions of cyclic ethers offer an efficient strategy for the rapid introduction of multiple functional groups and the construction of complex molecular architectures. Despite the minimal ring strain in five- and six-membered rings presenting a significant challenge for ring-opening, advancements have been made. Traditional acid-catalyzed pathways have been complemented by a novel approach involving carbene-induced oxonium intermediate formation, which has emerged in recent years and expanded the selectivity of ring-opening reactions.

Background: The glomerular podocyte endoplasmic reticulum is a critical component in renal function, yet its research landscape is not fully understood. This study aims to map the existing research on podocyte endoplasmic reticulum by analyzing publications in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from the past 19 years.
Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis using Citespace, VOSviewer, the Metrology Literature Online platform, and the Bibliometrix software package to visualize and interpret the data from WOSCC.

Objectives: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) commonly occurs in critically ill patients and is closely associated with adverse outcomes. A comprehensive analysis of the current research landscape in SA-AKI can help uncover trends and key issues in this field. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for research directions and critical issues through bibliometric analysis.

Background: This study aimed to comprehensively assess the global, regional, and national burden of esophageal cancer (EC) attributable to inadequate vegetable and fruit intake from 1990 to 2019 and explore the potential impact of existing dietary intervention programs on EC prevention.
Methods: Using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) database, we conducted descriptive analyses stratified by age, sex, Socio-demographic Index (SDI), and regional levels. Temporal trends were assessed using linear regression models, and cluster analysis was employed to explore burden patterns across different GBD regions.
