Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a type of reactive oxygen species that regulates essential biological processes. Despite the central role of HO in pathophysiological states, available molecular probes for assessing HO are still limited. This work develops hyperpolarized N-boronobenzyl-4-cyanopyridinium (N-BBCP) as a rationally designed molecular probe for detecting HO. The N-BBCP demonstrated favorable physicochemical and biochemical properties for HO detection and dynamic nuclear polarization, allowing noninvasive detection of HO. In particular, N-BBCP and the products possessed long spin-lattice relaxation times and spectrally resolvable N chemical shift differences. The performance of hyperpolarized N-BBCP was demonstrated both and with time-resolved N-MRS. This study highlights a promising approach to designing a reaction-based N-labeled molecular imaging agent for detecting oxidative stress

: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy with a five-year survival rate of approximately 13% for advanced stages. While the majority of PDAC cases are sporadic, a significant subset is attributable to hereditary and familial predispositions, accounting for approximately 25% of cases. This article synthesizes recent advancements in the understanding, detection, and management of hereditary pancreatic cancer (PC).

The sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) has emerged as a significant target in the realm of pain management and has been the subject of extensive research. Nonetheless, its specific function in inflammatory pain within dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons remains inadequately elucidated. This study utilized whole-cell patch clamp techniques, single-cell real-time PCR, and immunohistochemistry to examine the influence of Sig-1R on inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in a rat model.

Light-driven spin hyperpolarization of organic molecules is a crucial technique for spin-based applications such as quantum information science (QIS) and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). Synthetic chemistry provides the design of spins with atomic precision and enables the scale-up of individual spins to hierarchical structures. The high designability and extended pore structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can control interactions between spins and guest molecules.
