Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease and comorbidity associated with several conditions, including cardiac dysfunction leading to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in turn resulting in T2DM-induced cardiomyopathy (T2DM-CM). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of T2DM-CM are poorly understood. It is hypothesized that molecular alterations in myopathic genes induced by diabetes promote the development of HFpEF, whereas cardiac myosin inhibitors can rescue the resultant T2DM-mediated cardiomyopathy.

An efficient and anions fluorescence "on-off" sensor of 1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-3-(quinolin-3-ylimino)indolin-2-one (PQI) has been developed for the selective sensing of dual anions of F and NO ions in aqueous medium. Active hydrogen and Lewis acidic binding sites free, Z- isomer of isatin based π-conjugated quinoline exhibited excellent sensing activity against F and NO ions in UV light. The fluorescence turns on the process accomplished via the PET "on-off" mechanism.

SKP2 (S-phase kinase-associated protein 2) is a member of the F-box family of substrate-recognition subunits in the SCF ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes. It is associated with ubiquitin-mediated degradation in the mammalian cell cycle components and other target proteins involved in cell cycle progression, signal transduction, and transcription. Being an oncogene in solid tumors and hematological malignancies, it is frequently associated with drug resistance and poor disease outcomes.

Heterojunctions combining two photocatalysts of staggered conduction and valence band energy levels can increase the photocatalytic efficiency compared to their individual components. This activity enhancement is due to the minimization of undesirable charge recombination by the occurrence of carrier migration through the heterojunction interface with separated electrons and holes on the reducing and oxidizing junction component, respectively. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently among the most researched photocatalysts due to their tunable light absorption, facile charge separation, large surface area and porosity.

Solar Photovoltaic systems are used for electrical power generation, and they provide an alternative source to non-renewable energy sources like coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear energy. Photovoltaic arrays used in PV systems may be subjected to partial shading conditions, thereby affecting power generation because of higher power mismatch losses. Due to an uneven distribution of irradiation condition, some of the bypass diodes turned on and affect the power generation in a photovoltaic array.
