Summary: This study efficiently identifies synthesizable candidate topologies for zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) from a zeolite database containing over 2,000,000 hypothetical structures, using structural descriptors extracted from known ZIFs. Intuition-based structural descriptors, such as ring patterns, node numbers, and T-O-T bridging angles, are used as data filters to eliminate infeasible topologies for ZIF formation. The carefully chosen structural descriptors facilitate the prediction of plausible ZIF topologies. Hydrogen adsorption screening is performed to investigate potential applications as porous ZIFs, leading to the suggestion of notable target ZIFs. The collection of new plausible ZIFs, derived from the combined descriptors, will serve as a structural blueprint for synthetic chemists.

Summary: A regioselective tandem approach for the synthesis of annulated napthyridines/isoquinolines containing the phosphine oxide group has been developed. The strategy involves the triflate-induced formation of C sp3-P and C sp2-N bonds in one pot. The protocol is also applicable for the synthesis of densely functionalized organo-phosphorylated chromenes and phosphino-derived sulfamethazine and sulfamethoxazole drugs.

Summary: Colibactin, a secondary metabolite encoded by the pks gene island in pathogenic Escherichia coli, may cause DNA damage and tumorigenesis. However, fundamental knowledge about colibactin's function is still lacking, and further research is needed to elucidate the biological mechanisms governing production and delivery of this compound by these bacteria.

Summary: We numerically study a three-dimensional strongly correlated system and find evidence of a separatrix between Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid regions by fitting the quasi-particle weight to the marginal Fermi liquid form at finite doping near the putative quantum critical point. Our results suggest the existence of a marginal Fermi liquid and possibly a quantum critical point in the non-symmetry broken solution of the three-dimensional interacting electron systems.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of coherent excitations and photon echoes on the decay processes of doped silicon materials, extracting energy relaxation and decoherence rates close to the metal-insulator transition. The observed linear relationship between rates and excitation frequency, as well as counterintuitive behaviors at different temperatures and doping levels, suggest that the system behaves as a well-isolated electronic system controlled by electron-electron interactions. These observations contribute to a distinct phenomenology, known as the marginal Fermi glass, driven by the interplay of strong disorder and strong electron-electron interactions.

Summary: This study identified significant prognostic value of five autophagy-related long non-coding RNAs for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and established a prognostic signature to accurately distinguish high- and low-risk groups. The signature showed good performance in predicting overall survival outcomes and outperformed other recently published signatures. Additionally, the signature had predictive ability on therapeutic outcomes and highlighted dysregulated pathways and mutations that may influence HCC patient outcomes.

Summary: Using synchrotron-based near-field infrared spectroscopy and lattice dynamics calculations, the vibrational response of CrPS4 in different thicknesses was investigated. The mode pattern showed a specific space group characteristic with no symmetry crossover as a function of layer number, and non-monotonic frequency shifts were observed. In contrast to MnPS3, CrPS4's vibrational response is sensitive to interlayer motion and displacement patterns.

Summary: In this study, by combining magneto-optical spectroscopy and first-principles calculations, we reveal the nonreciprocity and formation mechanism of Ni3TeO6 in the toroidal geometry. Additionally, we demonstrate the deterministic control of nonreciprocal directional dichroism in Ni3TeO6. These findings are of great significance for the development of photonics applications that utilize the unique symmetry characteristics of materials.

Summary: A new concept for reversible peptide stapling has been developed, which involves macrocyclization and decyclization using dual 1,4-elimination. This strategy enables selective peptide delivery to intracellular or extracellular targets. The study also demonstrates the application of reversibly stapled peptides and the activation of their biological activity through dual 1,4-elimination.

Summary: This study used OCTA to assess macular microvascular alterations in type 2 diabetic patients with and without peripheral neuropathy (DPN and NDPN). The results showed significantly lower vascular length density (VLD) values in DPN patients compared to healthy controls and NDPN patients. DPN patients also exhibited lower VLD values in specific regions of the superficial vascular complex (SVC). Additionally, VLD values in the deep vascular complex (DVC) had a higher ability to discriminate microvascular damage in DPN patients compared to NDPN patients.

Summary: The aim of this study was to enhance the immunogenicity of the Brucella subunit vaccine by adding layered double hydroxide (LDH) as an adjuvant. The LDH subunit vaccine showed higher levels of specific antibodies and induced mainly a T-helper 1 cell (Th1)-type immune response compared with the Freund's adjuvant subunit vaccine. Additionally, the LDH subunit vaccine significantly reduced the bacterial load in the spleens of mice and offered a higher level of protection against Brucella infection.
