Summary: Cholesterol plays a crucial role in major cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and cyclodextrins have shown promising therapeutic efficacy in sequestering and mobilising cholesterol. A new approach involves core-shell superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles functionalised with cyclodextrins, which can specifically cleave off from the nanoparticles' shell at a slightly acidic pH to mobilise cholesterol out of the lysosome. This platform shows potential in removing cholesterol from the lysosomal compartment.

Summary: Magnetization is a measurable property of materials that provides information about their electronic structure, phase purity, and impurities. Superparamagnetism, a size-dependent property of magnetic materials, has been underexplored in the field of quantum materials. In this study, a statistical model is used to analyze a dataset of variable-size superparamagnetic Fe3O4 particles. The results show that parameters of the intrinsic probability distribution, such as the maximum susceptibility, are more suitable for describing the superparamagnetic behavior compared to standard measures like saturation magnetization. This analysis has potential applications in synthesis diagnostics and prediction of new properties and functionality.

Summary: A divergent approach was used to synthesize a library of HS tetrasaccharides that covered all possible sulfation structures. This library helped identify the structural requirements for HS sequences to bind to fibroblast growth factor-2 and showed weak affinity for platelet factor-4. This could lead to the development of new HS-based therapeutics without the adverse effect of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Summary: Phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs) are enzymes that produce lipid signaling molecules and have become attractive drug targets for various diseases. Researchers have designed and synthesized D-galactosyl lysophospholipids, which can selectively target phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase. This study also discovered a human PIKfyve inhibitor that enhances the inhibition of Apilimod, an ATP-competitive PIKfyve inhibitor, in clinical trials for SARS-CoV-2 infection and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These findings demonstrate the potential of D-galactose-based phosphoinositide mimetics as artificial substrates and inhibitors of PIPKs.

Summary: In this study, the role of C17orf53 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was analyzed using public datasets. The findings suggest that C17orf53 is highly expressed and predicts poor survival in HCC patients. It also correlates positively with the abundance of B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Functional analysis revealed that C17orf53 is involved in cell cycle, DNA replication, and Fanconi anemia pathways. Knockdown of C17orf53 inhibited cell proliferation and decreased the expression of MCM8, cyclin D1, and PCNA. Overall, C17orf53 is a novel prognostic signature for HCC.

Summary: Fruit malformation is a widespread issue in fruit production, causing significant economic losses. Although farmers have long observed the association between chilling temperature before blooming and malformed fruits, the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unclear. In this study, we investigated how tomato fruit development responded to cold stress and found that short-term cold stress led to increased callose accumulation in both shoot apical and floral meristems. This caused symplastic isolation and altered intercellular movement of WUS, resulting in expanded stem cell population and malformed fruits. Our findings suggest that the callose dynamics during short-term cold stress involve the interplay of abscisic acid and gibberellin, similar to bud dormancy mechanisms. This study provides new insights into the regulation of fruit malformation under cold stress.

Summary: Magnetically insulated coaxial diodes are commonly used in high power microwave devices for generating intense annular electron beams. This study conducted electrical and optical measurements on a long-pulse magnetically insulated coaxial diode to observe the emission characteristics and plasma properties. The impact of cathode material, blade angle, diode voltage, and guiding magnetic field on the emission characteristics and plasma properties of six types of annular cathodes was investigated. The metal-dielectric cathode showed excellent emission characteristics and plasma properties, achieving impressive diode performance. Additionally, high voltage and small blade angle were found to enhance the emission capability and uniformity, while a strong magnetic field or large diode voltage reduced the axial and radial expansion velocities.

Summary: Bortezomib (BTZ) is an effective drug for multiple myeloma treatment, but it often leads to BTZ-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN). In this study, it was found that BTZ caused demyelination in sciatic nerves, leading to mechanical hyperalgesia and impaired nerve conduction. The mechanism was identified as the dysfunction of lysosomes and autophagy blockage in Schwann cells. However, the use of the lysosomal activator Torin1 reversed the autophagy blockage and improved the BIPN pathology.

Summary: This study found that MAOB was highly overexpressed in the spinal cord and DRG tissues of PIPN mice, rather than MAOA, and Khellin as a selective MAOB inhibitor could improve PIPN-like pathology. Moreover, Khellin promoted neurite outgrowth, alleviated apoptosis, and improved mitochondrial dysfunction of DRG neurons by targeting MAOB, while inhibiting spinal astrocytes activation and suppressing neuroinflammation through the MAOB/NF-kappa B/NLRP3/ASC/Caspase1/IL-1 beta pathway. These findings provide potential therapeutic approaches for treating the side effects of PTX-induced neuropathy using selective MAOB inhibitors.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of binding strength (BS) of extracellular organic substances (EOS) on organic matter (OM) recovery from sewage sludge. The results revealed the effects of multivalent metals, floc structures, and rheological properties on the release of EOS. The power-law distribution of BS was found to determine the state of organic molecules, stability of floc structures, and rheological properties. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified three levels of BS in EOS, indicating three stages of OM release or recovery from sludge. This study provides a theoretical basis for developing methods for OM release and recovery from sludge.

Summary: 9-SH-Sia is coupled to CPT to form a novel CPT prodrug (CPT-ss-Sia) that self-assembles into nanostructures in an aqueous solution. CPT-ss-Sia exhibits enhanced water solubility, GSH-triggered CPT release, and increased E-lactone ring stability, with comparable cancer cell-killing ability to CPT. Intravenous administration of CPT-ss-Sia inhibits tumor growth and reduces lesions without adverse effects on body weight in mice. This is the first report of the 9-SH-Sia conjugate-based prodrug, with broad clinical application prospects.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
