Article Abstract

[structure: see text] Providencin (1) is a naturally occurring cytotoxin isolated from the Caribbean gorgonian octocoral Pseudopterogorgia kallos. Its highly oxygenated hexacyclic structure is based on a previously undescribed bicyclo[12.2.0]hexadecane ring system and was established through spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallographic analysis. Providencin (1) was shown to exhibit modest anticancer activity against human breast (MCF7), lung (NCI-H460), and CNS (SF-268) cancer cell lines.

Introduction: Elevated peripheral blood monocyte counts (PBMC) are associated with disease progression and mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, evidence for progression stems primarily from highly curated cohort studies or post-hoc analysis of clinical trials. We used real-world data to examine the association between PBMC and IPF mortality among a national cohort of Veterans with IPF.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been emerging as versatile reticular materials due to their tunable structures and functionalities, enabled by precise molecular engineering at the atomic level. While the integration of multiple components into COFs has substantially expanded their structural complexity, the strategic engineering of diverse functionalities within a single framework the random distribution of linkers with varying lengths remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a series of highly crystalline mixed-length multivariate COFs synthesized using azobenzene and bipyridine as linkers, where tuning the ratio of linkers and incorporating palladium effectively modulates the balance between near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and catalytic sites for NIR-generation of hydrogen peroxide (HO).

Constructing heterogeneous dual-site catalysts is anticipated for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, compared to the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), the triggering oxide pathway mechanism (OPM) for catalysts poses challenges due to elusive structural evolution and low intrinsic activity. Herein, considering the distinct adsorption propensity of heterogeneous Ni-Fe sites toward differential intermediates (OH-O), the PO-induced deep reconstruction triggers a dual-site Ni-Fe discrepant oxide pathway mechanism (DOPM) for R-PO-NiCoFeOOH.

Airborne pathogens and pollution control typically necessitate multiple membranes, each specializing in efficient aerosol filtration, moisture regulation, or antimicrobial protection. Integrating all these functions into a single membrane is highly advantageous but remains inherently challenging due to material incompatibility and inevitable performance trade-offs. Here, we present a photoactive Janus nanofibrous membrane for highly efficient air purification, engineered via sequential electrospinning.

Cancer cachexia is a highly debilitating clinical syndrome of involuntary body mass loss featuring profound muscle wasting leading to high mortality. Notably, cardiac wasting is prominent in cancer patients and cancer survivors. Cachexia studies present significant challenges due to the absence of human models and mainly short-term animal studies.
