Novel constrained Schiff-base ligands (inden) were developed based on the well-known salen ligands. Chromium complexes supported by the constrained inden ligands were successfully synthesized and used as catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO). The catalyst having -butyl (Bu) groups as substituents in combination with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a cocatalyst exhibited very high catalytic activity with a turnover frequency of up to 14800 h for the conversion of CO and propylene oxide into propylene carbonate exclusively at 100 °C and 300 psi of CO under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was found to be highly active for various epoxide substrates to produce terminal cyclic carbonates in 100% selectivity.

Herein, we report a solid-state polycyclotrimerization of 1,4-diethynylbenzene using mechanochemical activation in a ball mill, yielding a highly porous and hydrophobic hyperbranched polymer (HBP) with a specific surface area of up to 570 m g. The reaction, catalyzed by Fe(hmds) and conducted under solvent-free conditions, was optimized by varying milling time and frequency. This method enables the efficient synthesis of insoluble, porous organic polymers with high yields (up to 95%) and offers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solution-based polymerizations.

Ultra-sensitive pH-responsive drug delivery system designed to operate within the slightly acidic microenvironment of tumors are highly desired for hydrogel applications in cancer therapy. In this study, 4-Formylbenzoic acid modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-FBA, PF) was synthesized and utilized as a carrier for encapsulating the anticancer drug Doxorubicin (Dox). This was subsequently crosslinked with polyethylenimine (PEI) via benzoic-imine bond to form drug-loaded PVA-FBA/PEI hydrogel (D-PFP).

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.

genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 systems is generating worldwide attention and enthusiasm for the possible treatment of genetic disorders. However, the consequences of potential immunogenicity of the bacterial Cas9 protein and the AAV capsid have been the subject of considerable debate. Here, we model the antigen presentation in cells after gene editing by transduction of a human cell line with an AAV2 vector that delivers the Cas9 transgene.

Background: Falls are a major cause of injury and death among the elderly, highlighting the need for effective and real-time detection systems. Embedded Internet of Health Things (IoHT) technologies integrating sensors, microcontrollers, and communication modules offer continuous monitoring and rapid response. However, the research landscape remains fragmented, and no comprehensive bibliometric review has been conducted.
