A highly enantioselective dearomative cascade reaction between 2-isocyanoethylindoles and 3-alkenyl-oxindoles was realized using a chiral N,N'-dioxide-Mg(II) complex catalyst. This reaction provides a straightforward access to polycyclic 3-spirooxindoles bearing cyclopenta[b]indole units with four contiguous stereocenters in excellent yields and moderate to good stereoselectivities via a Michael/Friedel-Crafts/Mannich cascade.

Radiation exposure initiates a cascade of reactions, including the release of reactive oxygen species, DNA double-strand breaks, and cellular apoptosis, leading to cell death, tissue damage, and potentially the development of cancer. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop highly effective and low-toxicity radioprotective agents. Traditional chemically synthesized protective agents face significant limitations in clinical applicability due to their pronounced off-target toxicity, narrow therapeutic window, and high production costs.

Harnessing the significant buildup of lactic acid (LA) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for metabolic manipulation presents a promising avenue for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, single-agent therapies often fail to address the complex and varying needs of TME heterogeneity, posing a substantial scientific hurdle in oncology. In this context, we employ asymmetric mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AMS NPs) as delivery vehicles, simultaneously loading them with zinc‑cobalt‑manganese ferrite nanoparticles (ZCMF NPs), lactate oxidase (LOX), and doxorubicin (DOX).

Pax-5a gene, as a nucleic acid biomarker closely associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), holds significant potential for early disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a highly accurate and efficient "on-super on-off" photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on a dual-photoelectrode heterojunction system integrated with a multisphere cascade DNA amplification strategy. The designed heterojunction dual-photoelectrode platform, comprising a InO/CdS photoanode (on state) and an in situ-formed MIL-68(In)/InO (MIO) photocathode, effectively extends the electron-hole transport pathway, enhances photogenerated charge separation, and produces high-amplitude signal output (super on state), thereby providing a robust baseline for signal transduction.

A nanozyme-mediated cascade reaction system for fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode detection of sarcosine (SA) was developed. The nanozymes (Zn-Glu@Hemin) were synthesized via a rapid self-assembly within 10 min at room temperature. Importantly, the Zn-Glu@Hemin exhibited strong peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity, catalyzing the generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide anion (O) from hydrogen peroxide (HO), enhancing the fluorescence reaction of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and the colorimetric reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB).

An unexpected additive-controlled chemodivergent multi-component domino reaction of salicylaldehydes with MBH carbonates has been skillfully developed. Interestingly, acid additives regulate the reaction to form functionalized cyclohexenes or natural coumarin derivatives. Notably, the coumarins were produced a novel phosphine-mediated α-umpolung/Wittig olefination/cycloaddition/lactonization/elimination cascade.
