Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common critical illness. Supportive therapy is still the main strategy for ALI/ARDS. Macrophages are the predominant immune cells in the lungs and play a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis, regulating metabolism, and facilitating tissue repair.

Metal ions, either essential or therapeutic, play critical roles in life processes or in the treatment of diseases. Proteins and enzymes are involved in metal homeostasis and the action of metallodrugs. Imaging and identifying these metal-binding proteins will facilitate the elucidation of metal-mediated life processes.

In the past decade, conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) and conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) have emerged at the forefront of active materials in bioanalytical and electrochemical settings due to their unique electronic and ionic properties. These materials possess π-conjugated backbones with ionic functionalities at the ends of their side chains, granting them water solubility and facilitating their processability, exploration, and applications in aqueous environments. In this perspective, the basis for evaluating their figures of merit in selected bioanalytical and electrochemical contexts will be provided and contextualized.

The origin of life on Earth remains one of the most perplexing challenges in biochemistry. While numerous bottom-up experiments under prebiotic conditions have provided valuable insights into the spontaneous chemical genesis of life, there remains a significant gap in the theoretical understanding of the complex reaction processes involved. In this study, we propose a novel approach using a roto-translationally invariant potential (RTIP) formulated with pristine Cartesian coordinates to facilitate the simulation of chemical reactions.

Red-light absorbing photoredox catalysts offer potential advantages for large-scale reactions, expanding the range of usable substrates and facilitating bio-orthogonal applications. While many red-light absorbing/emitting fluorophores have been developed recently, functional red-light absorbing photoredox catalysts are scarce. Many photoredox catalysts rely on long-lived triplet excited states (triplets), which can efficiently engage in single electron transfer (SET) reactions with substrates.
