The first thermally stable and pH-responsive quadruplex intercalated motif (i-motif) structure formed by l-DNA is presented. Although this l-type i-motif exhibits the same physiochemical properties as its d isomer, its inverted chirality and good enzymatic resistance potentially open the way to the development of new DNA materials of pharmaceutical and biological interest.

Introduction: Prior analysis of children with grade 3 and 4 congenital hydronephrosis demonstrated that renal medullary pyramidal thickness (PT) is predictive of subsequent pyeloplasty (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.78). The objective of this study was to further analyze the utility of sonographic measurements including PT, anteroposterior pelvic diameter (APD), and renal length with an expansion of the number of infants with hydronephrotic kidneys including grades 2, 3, and 4 hydronephrosis.

Ligand engineering has proven to be an effective strategy for tuning and controlling the microenvironment of coordinated metal centers, highlighting the critical bridge between the activity and structural features of catalysts during electrocatalytic CO reduction reactions (eCORR). However, the limited availability of diverse organic ligands has hindered the development of novel high-performing electrocatalysts. In contrast, small organic molecules have been widely used in the fabrication of metal complexes due to their well-defined functionalities, low cost, and easy accessibility.

Sepsis, a common and life-threatening condition often leading to multiple organ dysfunction, currently lacks a prognostic model based on ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) for predicting clinical outcomes. In this study, we utilized the FerrDb database and GSE65682 dataset to evaluate the prognostic significance of FRGs in sepsis. Differential expression analysis identified 27 DE-FRGs, and Consensus clustering revealed three distinct FRG molecular subtypes in sepsis with notable differences in immune infiltration landscapes.

Although 3D printing is becoming a dominant technique for scaffold preparation in bone tissue engineering (TE), developing hydrogel-based ink compositions with bioactive and self-healing properties remains a challenge. This research focuses on developing a bone scaffold based on a composite hydrogel, which maintains its self-healing properties after incorporating bioactive glass and is 3D-printable. The plain hydrogel ink was synthesized using natural polymers of 1 wt % N-carboxyethyl chitosan, 2 wt % hyaluronic acid aldehyde, 0.
