Article Abstract

Click 'n' chips: Azide and alkyne-bearing sialic acids (purple diamond; see picture) were subjected to high-throughput click chemistry to generate a library of sialic acid analogues. Microarray printing of the library and screening with the siglec family of sialic-acid-binding proteins, led to the identification of high-affinity ligands for siglec-9 and siglec-10.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is important for fighting pathogens, but too much or too little can cause tissue damage and inflammation.
  • The new HOClSense dyes use a chlorination-based mechanism to provide detailed visualization of HOCl levels in sub-cellular environments, offering both switch-on and switch-off detection with different emission colors.
  • Researchers demonstrated HOClSense's effectiveness by mapping HOCl in cell structures like plasma membranes and lysosomes, revealing insights into HOCl production in diseases like Niemann-Pick.

At times, electronic medical records (EMRs) have proven to be less than optimal, causing longer hours behind computers, shorter time with patients, suboptimal patient safety, provider dissatisfaction, and physician burnout. These concerning healthcare issues can be positively affected by optimizing EMR usability, which in turn would lead to substantial benefits to healthcare professionals such as increased healthcare professional productivity, efficiency, quality, and accuracy. Documentation issues, such as non-standardization of physician note templates and tedious, time-consuming notes in our mother-baby unit (MBU), were discussed during meetings with stakeholders in the MBU and our hospital's EMR analysts.

Niemann-Pick C1 Like-1 (NPC1L1) mediates the uptake of micellar cholesterol by intestinal epithelial cells and is the molecular target of the cholesterol-lowering drug ezetimibe (EZE). The detailed mechanisms responsible for intracellular shuttling of micellar cholesterol are not fully understood due to the lack of a suitable NPC1L1 substrate that can be traced by fluorescence imaging and biochemical methods. 27-Alkyne cholesterol has been previously shown to serve as a substrate for different cellular processes similar to native cholesterol.

Plants have been used for years for various cosmetic purposes. In the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, a large proportion of the population reliant (to some extent) on botanical resources for beauty and health. Despite the use of these botanical resources for various cosmetic purposes, only a few have been fully commercialized or used as ingredients in cosmetic formulation.
