Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) has attracted considerable interest as a therapeutic target for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Compounds derived from a 2-aminopyridine screening hit were optimised using a LRRK2 homology model based on mixed lineage kinase 1 (MLK1), such that a 2-aminopyridine-based lead molecule 45, with in vivo activity, was identified.

Visible-infrared person re-identification (VI-ReID) is a challenging cross-modality retrieval task to match a person across different spectral camera views. Most existing works focus on learning shared feature representations from the final embedding space of advanced networks to alleviate modality differences between visible and infrared images. However, exclusively relying on high-level semantic information from the network's final layers can restrict shared feature representations and overlook the benefits of low-level details.

MDM2 and MDM4 are major negative regulators of tumor suppressor p53. Beyond regulating p53, MDM2 possesses p53-independent activity in promoting cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis via its RING domain ubiquitin E3 ligase activity. MDM2 and MDM4 form heterodimer polyubiquitin E3 ligases via their RING domain interaction.

A systematic structure-activity and computational modeling analysis of a series of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists based upon an ultra-short GLP-1 peptide, H-His-Aib-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Bip-Bip-NH2, was conducted. This highly potent 11-mer peptide led to a deeper understanding of the α-helical bias of strategic α-methylation within the linear parent template as well as optimization of GLP-1R agonist potency by 1000-fold. These data were correlated with previously reported co-structures of both full-length GLP-1 analogs and progenitor N-terminal GLP-1 fragment analogs related to such ultra-short GLP-1R agonist peptides.

Traditional window glazing, with inherently adverse energy-efficient optical properties, leads to colossal energy losses. Energy-saving glass requires a customized optical design for different climate zones. Compared with the widely researched radiative cooling technology which is preferable to be used in low-altitude hot regions; conversely in high-latitude cold regions, high solar transmittance (T) and low mid-infrared thermal emissivity (ε) are the key characteristics of high-performance radiative warming window glass, while the current low-emissivity (low-e) glass is far from ideal.

Advanced energetic composites possess promising properties and wide-ranging applications in explosives and propellants. Nonetheless, most metal-based energetic composites present significant challenges due to surface oxidation and low-pressure output. This study introduces a facile method to develop energetic composites Cutztr@AP through the intermolecular assembly of nitrogen-rich energetic coordination polymers and high-energy oxidant ammonium perchlorate (AP).
