In order to investigate the influence of terminal donors on the structures and photophysical properties of D-A prototype fluorophores, three D1-A-π-D2 fluorophores with different terminal donors (D2) have been synthesized and characterized in this study. Assisted by density functional theory calculations, this study has found that terminal donors (D2) affect the molecular packing modes by modifying the intermolecular interactions. Localized orbital locator function analysis (LOL-π) indicated that increasing the numbers of aromatic rings of terminal donors (D2) would give rise to wider π-electrons delocalization, leading to the red-shifted absorption and emission properties of such compounds. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations indicated that the long absorption peaks of such compounds mainly come from the electron transfers between π-D2 and A (π-D2 → A) moieties. Meanwhile, terminal donors (D2) affect the type and charge amount of excitation process.

Naturally acquired microchimerism (Mc) is increasingly recognized as an aspect of normal biology. Maternal-fetal bi-directional exchange during pregnancy creates a Mc legacy for the long-term in both individuals. Maternal Mc in her offspring and Mc of fetal origin in women with previous births are best studied.

Unlabelled: HIV cure strategies that aim to induce viral reactivation for immune clearance leverage latency reversal agents to modulate host pathways which directly or indirectly facilitate viral reactivation. Inhibition of bromo and extra-terminal domain (BET) family member BRD4 reverses HIV latency, but enthusiasm for the use of BET inhibitors in HIV cure studies is tempered by concerns over inhibition of other BET family members and dose-limiting toxicities in oncology trials. Here, we evaluated the potential for bivalent chemical degraders targeted to the BET family as alternative latency reversal agents.

Backgound: In Brazil, the highest incidences of snakebite envenomation (SBE) occur in the Amazon region, caused mostly by Bothrops atrox. Among the effects of envenomation, cardiac alterations are not a frequent outcome but are highly linked to severe cases.
Objective: The present study investigated the serum profile of cardiac injury markers (fatty acid binding protein 3 - H-FABP3, N-terminal type B natriuretic peptide - NTproBNP, creatine kinase-MB - CPK-MB, and troponin I) following Bothrops SBEs and their association with venom-induced coagulopathy.

Background: Up to 50% of kidney transplant patients are diagnosed with delayed graft function (DGF) following transplantation-the majority being linked to ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). DGF is traditionally defined as the requirement for dialysis during the first week after transplantation and is associated with inferior graft and patient outcomes. Local synthesis of complement components, largely by the renal tubule, plays a critical role in IRI.
