Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a fibrotic disorder caused by endometrial injury, characterized by structural damage and functional impairment of the endometrium, which severely impacts female reproductive health. The core pathology of IUA revolves around aberrant fibrosis, driven by intricate interactions among inflammation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and dysregulated cellular processes such as autophagy and ferroptosis. Inflammation acts as a pivotal initiator, directly activating fibrotic pathways or inducing EMT, thereby exacerbating fibrosis.

ATO may lead to more extensive myocardial injury and poorer outcomes. However, its prognostic significance in NSTEMI, particularly in the Chinese population, is not well established.

However, it is still challenging to realize long-wavelength RTP (>580 nm). In this article, a new strategy is proposed to achieve the red-shifted RTP through constructing dual-ligand MOFs.

Aggregation is a conventional method to enhance the quantum yields (QYs) of pure organic luminophores due to the restriction of intramolecular motions (RIM). However, how to realize RIM in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is still unclear and challenging. In this work, the ligand meta-anchoring strategy is first proposed and proved to be an effective and systematic approach to restrict the intramolecular motions of MOFs for the QY improvement.

A series of tertiary trifluoroethanols containing different indole and coumarin groups were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields (up to 95%) in the presence of 5 mol% catalyst in a short time (only 2 minutes at least). A mechanism of the reaction, in which the trace amount of water plays the role of proton transfer in catalyzing circulation was proposed and confirmed.
