The "second set" method was used on inbred rats to study immunogenicity of the heart valves treated with a proteolytic enzyme and glutaric aldehyde and to compare it with immunogenicity of the valves treated with glutaric aldehyde alone according to Hancock's method. The valves treated by the enzyme and 0.2-0.5% glutaric aldehyde did not lead to the body sensitization in contrast to the valves exposed to 0.5% glutaric aldehyde alone. During transplantation of the latter ones, there were signs of the immunologic response on the part of the recipients and calcification of valvular tissue 70 days after subcutaneous implantation. It is assumed that pretreatment with the enzyme makes it possible to appreciably reduce immunogenicity of the heart valves.

Lysine metabolism converges at α-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH7A1). Rare loss-of-function mutations in ALDH7A1 cause a toxic accumulation of lysine catabolites, including piperideine-6-carboxylate (P6C), that are thought to cause fatal seizures in children unless strictly managed with dietary lysine reduction. In this study, we perform metabolomics and expression analysis of tissues from Aldh7a1-deficient mice, which reveal tissue-specific differences in lysine metabolism and other metabolic pathways.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a newly developed silver-loaded paper-based colorimetric sensor array that detects and differentiates five common aldehyde gases, which are harmful VOCs linked to health risks.
- The sensor utilizes immobilized silver ions and complexing agents to enhance stability and resistance to humidity, ensuring it has excellent selectivity and anti-interference capabilities.
- With impressive sensitivity, the sensor can detect low concentrations of aldehyde gases, all below permissible exposure limits, and it provides unique colorimetric responses for each type of gas, making it a promising tool for monitoring air quality.

Type-A aortic dissection is an acute injury involving the delamination of the aorta at the parts of the aortic media. Aldehyde crosslinker-containing glues have been used to adhere to the media of the dissected aorta before joining an artificial graft. These glues effectively adhere to the aortic media; however, they show low biocompatibility due to the release of aldehyde compounds.

A straightforward and practical method has been developed to access α-substituted glutaric diesters from acrylates and aldehydes using visible light, with Eosin Y facilitating hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and subsequent Giese-type addition. Also, sunlight has been successfully used as an alternative sustainable light source. The method has also been explored to access substituted 4,5-dihydro-2H-pyridazinones, which have potential biological and industrial applications.
