Chromoselective bond activation has been achieved in organic helicenium (Pr-DMQA)-based photoredox catalysis. Consequently, control over chromoselective C(sp)-X bond activation in multihalogenated aromatics has been demonstrated. Pr-DMQA can only initiate the halogen atom transfer (XAT) pathway under red light irradiation to activate low-energy-accessible C(sp)-I bonds. In contrast, blue light irradiation initiates consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (conPET) to activate more challenging C(sp)-Br bonds. Comparative reaction outcomes have been demonstrated in the α-arylation of cyclic ketones with red and blue lights. Furthermore, red-light-mediated selective C(sp)-I bonds have been activated in iodobromoarenes to keep the bromo functional handle untouched. Finally, the strength of the chromoselective catalysis has been highlighted with two-fold functionalization using both photo-to-transition metal and photo-to-photocatalyzed transformations.

The reduction of CO2 to CO provides a promising approach to the production of valuable chemicals through CO2 utilization. However, challenges persist with the rapid deactivation and insufficient activity of catalysts. Herein, we developed a soft-hard dual-template method to synthesize layered MoS2 using inexpensive and scalable templates, enabling facile regulation of sulfur vacancies by controlling the number of layers.

As an important small molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in the regulation of cell metabolism and supplies energy for various biochemical reactions in organisms. We herein developed a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor for highly specific detection of ATP using core-satellite assemblies. To construct the aptamer-based biosensor, a known ATP binding aptamer was divided into two segments.

In mammals, lactation is essential for the health and growth of infants and supports the formation of the mother-infant bond. Breastfeeding is mediated by the neurohormone oxytocin (OT), which is released into the bloodstream in a pulsatile manner from OT neurons in the hypothalamus to promote milk ejection into mammary ducts. While classical studies using anesthetized rats have illuminated the activity patterns of putative OT neurons during breastfeeding, the molecular, cellular, and neural circuit mechanisms driving the synchronous pulsatile bursts of OT neurons in response to nipple stimulation remain largely elusive.

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated RNA delivery holds significant potential for the treatment of various liver diseases. Ionizable lipids play a crucial role in the formulation of LNPs and directly influence their delivery efficiency. In this study, we introduced an innovative concept by incorporating an ether bond into the hydrophobic tail of ionizable lipids for the first time.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality in both men and women due to genetic and epigenetic modifications. Our study focuses on fabricating phenmiazine ring leads by a functional group-based drug design to inhibit p53 -7A1W and MDM2-7AU9 proteins responsible for cancer cell growth. One hundred molecules are designed and allowed to bind inside the active site of 7A1W and 7AU9 protein using a glide dock platform and subjected to find MMGBSA.
