The use of 2-naphthalenesulfonate (NAS) ligand in lanthanide chemistry afforded a family of isostructural mononuclear lanthanide complexes with the formula [Ln(NAS)(HO)](NAS)·3HO [Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Er (3), Yb (4)]. Crystallographic studies determined a square antiprismatic geometry (D) for the Ln centre and crystallization in an unprecedented chiral space group. The latter was further confirmed by the observation of Cotton effects in single crystal circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Static and dynamic magnetic measurements identified weak intermolecular dipolar interactions in 2, and such effects can be waived by dilution, which was noted by the detection of zero-field single molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour and hysteresis loop in a magnetically diluted sample (5). Compounds 2-4 exhibit SMM behaviours with energy barriers of 53, 32, and 45 K, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, these complexes are the first examples of pure 4f sulfonate-based SMMs.

Division of Joint Surgery and Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430071, China.
Lines of evidence have indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) progression. However, the study focused on the relationship between T2DM and OA at the transcriptional level remains empty. We downloaded OA- and T2DM-related bulk RNA-sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset.

Hunan Key Laboratory of Oncotarget Gene, Hunan Cancer Hospital and the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, Changsha, 410013, Hunan, People's Republic of China.
Despite the progress in conventional treatments for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the 5-year survival rate remains below 70%. Enhancing immunotherapy outcomes through personalized treatment strategies, particularly by identifying immune-related biomarkers, is critical. The ASXL family are associated with malignancies, but their relationship with HNSCC has not been elucidated.

Double negative T (DNT) cells are a unique subset of CD3 + TCRαβ + T lymphocytes that lack CD4, CD8, or NK1.1 expression and constitute 3-5% of the total T cell population in C57BL/6 mice. They have increasingly gained recognition for their novel roles in the immune system, especially under autoimmune conditions.

As molecular research on hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) continues to advance, there is a growing need for the accumulation of more diverse genome data and more accurate genome assemblies. In this study, we report the three-way assembly data of a cannabidiol (CBD)-rich cannabis variety, 'Pink Pepper' cultivar using sequencing technology: PacBio Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) technology, Illumina sequencing technology, and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding, endogenous small single-stranded RNA molecules involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. It has been demonstrated that dysregulation of miRNA plays a major role in tumor formation, proliferation, and metastasis. Therefore, the delivery of anti-miRNA oligonucleotides to block the activity of these oncogenic miRNAs is a high-potential anti-cancer therapy approach.
