Internally 1,3-phenylene- and 2,5-thienylene-bridged [46]decaphyrins 2 and 3 have been synthesized. While 2 shows modest aromatic character derived from the global 46π-conjugated circuit, 3 displays larger aromatic character owing to the contribution of an (annuleno)annulene-type network consisting of two twisted Möbius aromatic thia[28]hexaphyrin segments in addition to the global 46π-network. Upon protonation, these [46]decaphyrins underwent large structural changes to acquire strong aromaticity. Protonated 3 has been revealed to take on a planar structure composed of fused two triangular thia[28]hexaphyrin segments.

One of the challenges that beset modelling complex biological networks is to relate networks to function to dynamics. A further challenge is deciphering the cellular function and dynamics that can change drastically when the network edge is tinkered with by adding or removing it. To illustrate this, the authors took a well-studied three-variable Goodwin oscillatory motif with only a negative feedback loop.

The primate cerebral cortex, the major organ for cognition, consists of an immense number of neurons. However, the organizational principles governing these neurons remain unclear. By accessing the single-cell spatial transcriptome of over 25 million neuron cells across the entire macaque cortex, it is discovered that the distribution of neurons within cortical layers is highly non-random.

Peripheral nerve injury is a common disease resulting in reversible and irreversible impairments of motor and sensory functions. In addition to conventional surgical interventions such as nerve grafting and neurorrhaphy, nerve guidance conduits are used to effectively support axonal growth without unexpected neuroma formation. However, there are still challenges to secure tissue-mimetic mechanical and electrophysiological properties of the conduit materials.

Objectives: Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) functioning as transcription factors. There are three RXR isoforms: RXRA (NR2B1), RXRB (NR2B2), and RXRG (NR2B3). RXRs serve as master regulators of gene networks governing cell growth, differentiation, survival, and death.

Purpose: In prostate cancer patients, high radiation doses to the urethra have been associated with an increased risk of severe genitourinary toxicity following dose-escalated radiotherapy. Urethra-sparing techniques have emerged as a promising approach to reduce urinary toxicity. This international survey aims to evaluate current global practices in urethra-sparing and explore future directions for the implementation of this technique in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for prostate cancer.
