Oxidation of thienyl-blocked bilane and pentapyrrane afforded chain length dependent products of the symmetric dimer and the thienyloligopyrrin-appended pentaphyrin analogue , respectively, with the latter formed by simultaneous dimerization and cyclization. Coordination of and with Cu(II) afforded di- and monometallic complexes and , respectively. These compounds exhibit distinct NIR absorption, with the absorption tail of extended to ca. 1900 nm despite its smaller conjugation framework than that of .

The efficiency of kinase inhibiting cancer therapeutics is often limited by their poor solubility in water. PEGylation is one possible strategy to improve the solubility of the drug, however, means to cleave these after reaching the target is important to make use of the therapeutic effects of the native drug. Moreover, the length of the PEG chains will have an effect on the solubility and binding.

As an established analytical method, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) offers powerful capabilities. This study focused on its application to analyze chlorinated paraffins (CP) by planar solid phase extraction (pSPE). Based on previous work, an irradiation chamber was developed to investigate the derivatization process on planar thin-layers and ensure a robust and reproducible analysis.

Surfaces capable of specific biomolecule recognition are essential for cancer theranostics, biosensing, and tissue engineering. However, current grafting methods, critical for dictating the recognition efficiency and biocompatibility of biomaterials, especially hydrophilic polymers, struggle to balance high grafting density with ease of implementation. In pursuit of a simple, effective, and versatile solution, we introduced a polydopamine (PDA)-assisted Ca-mediated grafting strategy using hyaluronic acid (HA) as a model material.

The structural organisation of pentraxin-3 and its interactions with heavy chains of inter-α-inhibitor regulate crosslinking of the hyaluronan matrix.

Electronic address:

Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is an octameric protein, comprised of eight identical protomers, that has diverse functions in reproductive biology, innate immunity and cancer. PTX3 interacts with the large polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) to which heavy chains (HCs) of the inter-α-inhibitor (IαI) family of proteoglycans are covalently attached, playing a key role in the (non-covalent) crosslinking of HC•HA complexes. These interactions stabilise the cumulus matrix, essential for ovulation and fertilisation in mammals, and are also implicated in the formation of pathogenic matrices in the context of viral lung infections.
