Summary: Research activity in the stereospecific polymerization of conjugated dienes has recently focused on the use of organometallic catalysts with well-defined structures and various types of ligands, which can strongly influence polymerization regio- and stereoselectivity, molecular weights, and living characteristics of the catalysts. Recent results in this field are highlighted in this Perspective, along with discussions on possible future developments.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing research focus on RNA modification, especially with the advancements in NGS-based whole transcriptome mapping methods. These efforts have revealed over 100 modifications in RNAs, some of which have been mapped at single-nucleotide resolution in mammalian transcriptomes. This has opened up new avenues for research in various fields, such as neurobiology, developmental biology, and oncology. However, our understanding of the functions of RNA modification, or the epitranscriptome, is still in its early stages. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the most abundant mRNA modification, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), in chromatin dynamics and transcriptional output. These findings contribute to our understanding of the biological relevance of m6A modification in mammalian cells.

Summary: Early recanalization of the infarct-related artery is the primary therapeutic goal for ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients. Advances have been made in antiplatelet therapy over the last three decades, with new parenteral drugs providing immediate platelet inhibition. Future management may involve self-administered antiplatelet agents for rapid reperfusion, but the benefits of potent antiplatelet agents will need to be balanced against the risk of increased bleeding.

Summary: This review explores the potential mechanisms of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and summarizes the existing evidence on risk factors associated with their occurrence. It particularly focuses on the impact of clinicopathological and demographic factors on the risk of irAEs.

Summary: The edge-cloud continuum combines heterogeneous resources and managing them is complex. Serverless edge computing is a suitable option as it abstracts the underlying infrastructure, improving developer experience and resource utilization. However, addressing programming support, reliability, and performance challenges is crucial for the success of serverless edge computing.

Summary: The research shows a growth trend in publications from 2006 onwards, coinciding remarkably with the implementation phase of the Kyoto protocol in 2005. Therefore, we observe that EE research is strongly associated with issues such as CO2 emissions, climate change, sustainability, and the growing importance of these issues in recent years.

Summary: Corporate social irresponsibility is a significant concern for managers and researchers. This comprehensive literature review examines 155 studies published from 1962 to 2020, analyzing the antecedents, outcomes, mediators, and moderators of CSI at different levels of analysis. The study contributes to the literature by identifying facilitators and inhibitors of CSI and examining their consequences for firms. The review also provides guidance for future research by evaluating the core elements of irresponsibility-harm to others and intentionality.

Summary: Cold urticaria is a chronic condition characterized by allergic reactions to cold, with mechanisms involving autoallergens and proinflammatory mediators. Diagnosis relies on patient history and cold stimulation testing, while treatment includes cold avoidance and medication use. Many questions regarding ColdU remain unanswered, highlighting the need for further research to improve management strategies.

Summary: Understanding the behavior of liquid ammonia is closely related to understanding the hydrogen bond networks in ammonia clusters. While ammonia clusters have received less attention compared to water clusters, insights can still be drawn from existing literature. By reviewing the structures, hydrogen bond networks, spectroscopy, and effects of temperature and solvent on ammonia clusters, as well as discussing their applications in determining solvation free energy and proton transfer free energy, we gain a better understanding of their potential applications and the need for future investigations.
