Article Abstract

A new phosphorylated polyketide, phosphoeleganin (1), has been isolated from the Mediterranean ascidian Sidnyum elegans. Its structure and configuration have been determined by extensive use of 2D NMR and microscale chemical degradation and/or derivatization. Phosphoeleganin (1) inhibited the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activity.

Accurate three-dimensional localisation of ultrasonic bat calls is essential for advancing behavioural and ecological research. I present a comprehensive, open-source simulation framework-Array WAH-for designing, evaluating, and optimising microphone arrays tailored to bioacoustic tracking. The tool incorporates biologically realistic signal generation, frequency-dependent propagation, and advanced Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) localisation algorithms, enabling precise quantification of both positional and angular accuracy.

Pulse diagnosis holds a pivotal role in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostics, with pulse characteristics serving as one of the critical bases for its assessment. Accurate classification of these pulse pattern is paramount for the objectification of TCM. This study proposes an enhanced SMOTE approach to achieve data augmentation, followed by multi-domain feature extraction.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces have garnered significant interest in the field of biomaterial scaffolds due to their unique structural properties, including a high surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio, tunable permeability, and the potential for enhanced biocompatibility. Bone scaffolds necessitate specific features to effectively support tissue regeneration. This study examines the permeability and active cell proliferation area of advanced Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) lattice structures, focusing on a novel lattice design.

Alstoniaschines A‒I (1‒9), nine previously alkaloids sharing five different skeletons were obtained from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris. The structures and absolute configurations were established by their extensive spectroscopic data analyses, including NMR, HRESIMS, X-ray crystallography data, and theoretical ECD calculations. Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 9 exerted significant protective effect against oxidative stress and inflammatory damage of podocytes induced by high glucose, manifesting as the increase of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, alongside the reductions of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, lactate dehydrogenase.

Transition metal fluorides because of the high electronegativity of fluorine may enhance the local electron density of the metal sites and promote water molecule dissociation and charge transfer. However, enhancing the intrinsic activity of fluorides to improve material stability remains a challenge. Herein, we develop an innovative four-step synthetic strategy (electrochemical deposition → co-precipitation → ligand exchange → in situ fluorination) to engineer three-dimensional porous Fe-doped CoF nanocubes vertically anchored on MXene (Fe-CoF/MXene/NF).
