Targeting Ru(III) and Ru(I) η2-alkyne species, 2,2'-(iPr2E)2-substituted diphenylacetylenes (1-E, E = P, As) were em-ployed for the pre-paration of [ECCE]-coordinated ruthenium com-plexes. The re-actions between 1-E and cis-(MeCN)2(COD)RuCl2 led to the required Ru(II) starting materials cis-[ECCE]RuCl2(MeCN) (3-E). Upon oxi-dation of 3-E with PhICl2, the Ru(III) target com-plexes [ECCE]RuCl3 (7-E) were detectable for E = P and E = As, but only the arsa-deriva-tive 7-As was obtained in a pure form, namely via oxi-da-tion of cis-[AsCCAs]RuCl2(THT) (THT = tetrahydrothiophene). Upon re-duction of compounds 3-E, a hitherto unprecedented Ru(I) η2-alkyne complex, [PCCP]RuCl (9), was obtained for E = P. The former square planar Ru(I) complex (9) was characterized com-prehensively and examined in detail by means of DFT and CASSCF calculation. Upon treatment of 9 with TlPF6, a diamagnetic µ-Tl-bridged compound (10) with a nearly linear Ru-Tl-Ru array was formed and isolated in high yields. Careful analysis of the bonding situation suggested that the Ru-Tl-Ru moiety in 10 is best interpreted in terms of a 3c-4e- bond.

Research on the cerebellum and its functional organization has significantly expanded over the last decades, expanding our comprehension of its role far beyond motor control, including critical contributions to cognition and affective processing. Notably, the cerebellar lateralization mirrors contralateral brain lateralization, a complex phenomenon that remains unexplored, especially across different stages of life. The present work aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive scoping review of the lateralization of motor, cognitive, and affective functioning within the cerebellum across the lifespan.

Cell sheet (CS)-based approaches hold significant potential for tissue regeneration, relying on the extracellular matrix (ECM) for success. Like in native tissues, the ECM provides structural and biochemical support for cellular homeostasis and function. Effective preservation strategies that maintain ECM integrity are critical to enhance the therapeutic potential of CS-based approaches.

Background: UK local authorities are developing and implementing Whole Systems Approaches to childhood obesity to tackle persistent and complex health inequalities. However, there is a lack of research on the practical application of these approaches. This paper reports on findings of a study into the initial implementation of this approach in Dundee, Scotland.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.
