Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the first identified oncogenic virus. It causes three types of diseases: lymphomas, carcinomas, and autoimmune diseases. It is estimated that two hundred thousand deaths are due to EBV each year. After a primary infection, EBV can remain latent lifelong. Reactivation to lytic phase can be induced by various drugs including small organic molecules, biologics, or a combination of both. In this review, we identified the most relevant results obtained with small organic compounds against Epstein-Barr virus-associated diseases. Specific treatments targeting Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen 1 are emerging concerning small organic molecules and showed promising results against several EBV-related malignancies.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) exhibit significant potential in large-scale energy storage due to their features of high volumetric capacity, resistance to dendrite formation, and abundant magnesium resources. However, the high polarity of divalent Mg2+ ions results in sluggish diffusion kinetics in conventional inorganic cathode materials, adversely affecting reversible capacity and rate performance. Organic materials such as pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetrone (PTO) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), achieve rapid and reversible intercalation of magnesium ions through carbonyl enolization, but these materials are challenged by high cost, complex preparation, and poor environmental friendliness.

Paramagnetic probes provide long-range distance information and report on minor conformations of biomacromolecules. However, it is important to realize that any probe can affect the system of interest. Here, we report on the effects of attaching a small nitroxide spin label [TEMPO, (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl] to xylotriose, a substrate of the enzyme xylanase from Bacillus circulans (BcX).

Although many cardioprotective interventions have been shown to limit infarct size (IS), in preclinical animal studies of acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), their clinical translation to patient benefit has been largely disappointing. A major factor is the lack of rigor and reproducibility in the preclinical studies. To address this, we have established the IMproving Preclinical Assessment of Cardioprotective Therapies (IMPACT) small animal multisite acute myocardial infarction (AMI) network, with centralized randomization and blinded core laboratory IS analysis, and have validated the network using ischemic preconditioning (IPC).

Photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting represents a promising strategy to store solar energy as chemical energy. Current photocatalysts primarily focus on traditional semiconductor materials, such as metal oxides, sulfides, nitrides, g-CN, etc. However, these materials often suffer from large bandgap and fast charge recombination, which limit sunlight utilization and result in unsatisfactory photon conversion efficiency.

The construction of heterojunctions can effectively inhibit the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes in photocatalysts and offers great potential for pollutant degradation. In this study, a Z-scheme heterojunction g-CN/WO photocatalyst was synthesized using a combination of hydrothermal and calcination methods. The photocatalytic degradation performance was tested under visible light; the degradation efficiency of Rh B reached 97.
