The efficient detection and monitoring of amyloid-β plaques (Aβ42) can greatly promote the diagnosis and therapy of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Fluorescence imaging is a promising method for this, but the accurate determination of Aβ42 still remains a challenge. The development of a reliable fluorescent probe to detect Aβ42 is essential. Herein, we report a rational design strategy for Aβ42 fluorescence probes based on rhodamine-copper complexes, Rho1-Cu-Rho4-Cu, among them Rho4-Cu exhibits the best performance including high sensitivity (detection limit = 24 nM), high affinity ( = 23.4 nM), and high selectivity; hence, Rho4-Cu is selected for imaging Aβ42 in AD mice, and the results showed that this probe can differentiate normal mice and AD mice effectively.

Platelets, tiny cell fragments measuring 2-4 μm in diameter without a nucleus, play a crucial role in blood clotting and maintaining vascular integrity. Abnormalities in platelets, whether genetic or acquired, are linked to bleeding disorders, increased risk of blood clots, and cardiovascular diseases. Advanced proteomic techniques offer profound insights into the roles of platelets in hemostasis and their involvement in processes such as inflammation, metastasis, and thrombosis.

Alkaline water (HO) electrolysis is currently a commercialized green hydrogen (H) production technology, yet the unsatisfactory hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance severely limits its energy conversion efficiency and cost reduction. Herein, PtRuFeCoNi high entropy alloys (HEAs) is synthesized and subsequently exploited electrochemically induced structural oxidation processes to construct self-reconfigurable HEAs, as an efficient alkaline HER catalyst. The optimized self-reconstructed PtRuFeCoNi HEAs with the HEAs and cobalt rutheniate interface (HEAs-CoRuO) exhibits excellent alkaline HER performance, requiring just 11.

Chlorophenols are difficult to degrade and mineralize by traditional advanced oxidation processes due to the strong electronegativity of chlorine. Here, a dual-site atomically dispersed catalyst (FeMoNC) is reported, which Fe/Mo supported on mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon is prepared through high-temperature migration. The FeMoNC exhibits a high dechlorination rate of 93.

Lignin valorization is crucial for achieving economic and sustainable biorefinery processes. However, the enzyme substrate preferences involved in lignin degradation remain poorly understood, and low activity toward specific substrates presents a significant challenge to the efficient utilization of lignin. In this study, we investigated the substrate promiscuity of Ado, a key enzyme involved in lignin valorization.

Mucosal membranes with strong variability in their viscoelastic properties line numerous organs and are often targeted by mucoadhesive formulations, e.g., highly swellable hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and slightly cross-linked poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) tablets.
