A VAPOL-derived phosphoramidite ligand is uniquely effective at reverting the regiochemical course of nickel-catalyzed reactions of aldehydes with carbamate-protected 5-amino-2,4-pentadienoates as "push/pull" dienes; the ensuing carbonyl α-amino-homoallylation reaction affords -configured -aminoalcohol derivatives in good yields with high optical purity. The reductive coupling is conveniently performed with a bench-stable Ni(0) precatalyst and EtB as the promoter.

Background: Bacterial pathogens frequently encounter host-derived metabolites during their colonization and invasion processes, which can serve as nutrients, antimicrobial agents, or signaling molecules for the pathogens. The essential nutrient choline (Cho) is widely known to be utilized by a diverse range of bacteria and may undergo conversion into the disease-associated metabolite trimethylamine (TMA). However, the impact of choline metabolism on bacterial physiology and virulence remains largely unexplored.

Background: The clinical characteristics of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents show notable gender-related differences, but the cause of these differences is still not understood. The current research concentrates on the changes in neurometabolism and neuroendocrine function, aiming to identify differences in endocrine function and brain metabolism between male and female adolescents with MDD.
Methods: A total of 121 teenagers diagnosed with MDD (43 males and 78 females) were enlisted as participants.

Cardiac alternans (C-ALT) is a phenomenon of alternating strong and weak contractions in the heart and is considered a risk factor for the development of heart failure and arrhythmias. However, no model has been reported that can induce C-ALT in vitro using human cells, and the developmental mechanism of C-ALT has not been studied using human cells. In this study, we successfully induced C-ALT in vitro using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs).

The production of enantiomerically pure compounds remains a vital and valuable objective in modern organic chemistry due to their broad applications in fields such as biosensing, optics, electronics, photonics, catalysis, nanotechnology, and drug or DNA delivery. Optically pure α-hydroxy ketones, in particular, are key structural components in many drugs and natural products with significant biological activity. Among these, benzoin type α-hydroxy ketones, which possess two adjacent functional groups, a carbonyl and a hydroxy group, are especially important.

Memory impairment in chronic pain patients is substantial and common, and few therapeutic strategies are available. Chronic pain-related memory impairment has susceptible and unsusceptible features. Therefore, exploring the underlying mechanisms of its vulnerability is essential for developing effective treatments.
