HemoCD, which is composed of an iron(II)porphyrin such as 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinatoiron(II) (Fe(II)TPPS) and a cyclodextrin (CD) dimer having a pyridine linker, represents a synthetic hemoglobin (Hb) model compound that exhibits reversible oxygen (O ) binding ability in aqueous solution at an ambient temperature. Therefore, hemoCD has the potential to be used as a totally synthetic artificial oxygen carrier. In this article, we describe the improvements of hemoCD related to its synthesis and O /CO selectivity. The synthesis procedure of the CD dimer of hemoCD was re-examined, and the CD dimer was successively synthesized from inexpensive β-CD with a 38% yield (three-steps), which enabled us to obtain the CD dimer in gram-quantities. The O /CO selectivity of hemoCD was also markedly improved using an iron(II)porphyrin having a carboxylate group at the distal site of hemoCD.

Article Synopsis
- DNA polymerases (Pols) are essential for genetic information transmission, and their regulation is linked to various human diseases, yet the mechanisms behind their functions are not fully understood.
- This research introduces a method to observe the full catalytic cycle of human DNA polymerase β (hPol β) using graphene-molecule-graphene junctions, revealing the states and mechanisms involved during its activity.
- Key findings indicate that deprotonation is the rate-limiting step in pyrophosphate (PP) formation and that certain residues and metal ions play critical roles in these chemical reactions, which may inform the development of Pol-targeting drugs and artificial DNA polymerases for synthetic biology.

Among the earliest synthetic antipyretic drugs, phenacetin (PNCT) could be used as the novel partial nitrification (PN) inhibitor to effectively inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). In practical application, the rapidly starting of PN could provide stable source of nitrite for anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process. However, impact of PNCT on anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) and its underlying mechanisms were not clear.

Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin condition with significant global morbidity, badly impairs patients' quality of life. Stress has been identified as a prominent trigger for psoriasis, and effectively management of stress can ameliorate its pathological manifestations. However, the precise mechanisms by which stress influences psoriasis remain elusive.

Increasing soil salinization has led to severe losses of plant yield and quality. Thus, it is urgent to investigate the molecular mechanism of the salt stress response. In this study, we took systematically analyzed cotton root response to salt stress by single-cell transcriptomics technology; 56,281 high-quality cells were totally obtained from 5-days-old lateral root tips of Gossypium arboreum under natural growth and different salt-treatment conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive sun exposure can lead to various skin issues like sunburn, dryness, and wrinkles, making aftersun products important for recovery.
- This study analyzed 84 aftersun products from 41 brands in Portugal to identify effective natural and synthetic ingredients that help reduce sun damage.
- The research highlights the popularity of compounds from terrestrial and marine sources, assesses their mechanisms of action, and emphasizes the need for both in vitro and in vivo research to validate their efficacy in addressing skin photodamage.
