Donor-acceptor (D-A) molecules are key motifs in electron transfer processes. Recently, significant progress has been made in the development of organic synthetic reactions that utilize D-A molecules as photoredox catalysts. In these electron-transfer reactions, preventing undesired back-electron transfer and achieving efficient conversion is essential. In this Perspective, we introduce two examples in which the dynamic effects of excitons derived from catalyst molecules are controlled through precise molecular design.

Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a pressing global ecological and environmental challenge. Our study is dedicated to exploring the various factors influencing greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry and predicting their future trends. To this end, we have analyzed data from China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region spanning from 1978 to 2022, aiming to estimate the carbon emissions associated with animal husbandry in the region.

Base editing is a common mechanism by which organisms expand their genetic repertoire to access new functions. Here, we explore the mechanism of tRNA recognition in the bacterial deaminase TadA, which exclusively recognizes tRNA and converts the wobble base adenosine (A34) to inosine. We quantitatively evaluate the dynamics of tRNA binding by incorporating the fluorescent adenine analogue 2-aminopurine (2-AP) at position 34 in the wobble base of the anticodon loop.

Temporal Dynamics of Depressive Symptoms, Apathy, Daily Activities, and Cognitive Decline in Older People From the General Population: A Network Analysis.

Am J Geriatr Psychiatry

February 2025

Department of Psychiatry (AJCS, EJG), Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands; Health Campus The Hague (EJG), Department of Public Health & Primary Care, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands. Electronic address:

Background: The prevalence of depressive symptoms, apathy, and cognitive decline increases with age. Understanding the temporal dynamics of these symptoms could provide valuable insights into the early stages of cognitive decline, allowing for more timely and effective treatment and management.

Methods: Participants from the Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care (preDIVA) trial cohort with baseline and ≥3 follow-up measurements were included, with a median of 7.

Inducible regulating homologous recombination enables precise genome editing in Pichia pastoris without perturbing cellular fitness.

Trends Biotechnol

March 2025

Division of Biotechnology, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian, Liaoning, PR China; CAS Key Laboratory of Separation Science for Analytical Chemistry, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian, Liaoning, PR China; Dalian Key Laboratory of Energy Biotechnology, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian, Liaoning, PR China. Electronic address:

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris (also known as Komagataella pastoris) is an ideal host for producing proteins and natural products. Enhancing homologous recombination (HR) is helpful for improving the precision of genome editing, but results in stress to cellular fitness and is harmful for industrial applications. To overcome these challenges, we developed a tetracycline repressor protein (TetR)/tetO2 inducible system to dynamically regulate the HR-related gene RAD52 in P.

Flexible microcolumn array-based silk fibroin for sweat glucose monitoring.

Anal Chim Acta

May 2025

College of Textile Science and Engineering, Jiangnan University, 1800Lihu Road, Wuxi, 214122, China. Electronic address:

Flexible sweat sensors possess the special potential for continuous non-invasive monitoring of human blood glucose. We put forward a flexible microcolumn array sensor, which is designed for health monitoring by means of detecting glucose levels in sweat and capturing physiological signals related to human movement. With the combination of silk fibroin (SF), waterborne polyurethane (PU), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), this microcolumn film electrode is able to effectively function as a strain sensor benefiting from the superior mechanical performance of PU.
