A Barbier reaction-Heck arylation sequence from α-bromomethylbutenolide to fused tri and tetracyclic lactones has been developed. The first step involving a Barbier reaction enabled installing -bromoaromatics in α-ylidene γ-lactones. The latter substrates were subjected to intramolecular Heck reaction conditions which selectively afforded 6,5,5 or 6,6,5 fused ring systems depending on the nature of the base employed.

Biomolecular condensation has emerged as a general principle in organizing biological processes, including immune response. Xu and colleagues recently reported that the cytoplasmic tail of the CD3ɛ subunit of TCR complex, when fused to CAR, can promote CAR condensation by liquid-liquid phase separation. Through sequence engineering, the authors identified modified CD3ɛ sequences that enhance the maturation of the immunological synapse and co-receptor signaling, leading to an improvement of cytotoxicity in vitro and anti-tumor effects in mouse xenograft models.

Motivation: The rapid development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has significantly advanced biomedical research. Clustering analysis, crucial for scRNA-seq data, faces challenges including data sparsity, high dimensionality, and variable gene expressions. Better low-dimensional embeddings for these complex data should maintain intrinsic information while making similar data close and dissimilar data distant.

A palladium-catalyzed Catellani-type [2+2+2] annulation reaction of aryl iodides, bromothiophenes, and norbornadiene, which proceeds via a tandem Heck coupling/double C-H bond activation and retro-Diels-Alder pathway to access thiophene-fused polyaromatics, is reported. The key feature of this protocol represents a NBD/NBE retaining annulation.

We demonstrate the application and benefit of optically transparent carbon electrodes (OTCEs) for single entity nanoelectrochemistry. OTCEs are prepared by pyrolyzing thin photoresist films on fused quartz coverslips to create conductive, transparent, thin films. Optical, electrical, topographical, and electrochemical properties of OTCEs are characterized to evaluate their suitability for single entity electrochemistry.

The reproduction number, the mean number of secondary cases infected by each primary case, gives an indication of the effort required to control the disease. Beyond the well-known reproduction number, there are two natural extensions, namely the and reproduction numbers. As behaviour, population immunity and viral characteristics can change with time, these reproduction numbers can vary over time.
