Article Abstract

The development of supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with a bright aggregate state or mechanical-stimuli-responsive luminescence is very significant and challenging. Herein, we report the synthesis of three different supramolecular platinum(II) metallacycles via coordination-driven self-assembly of a diplatinum(II) acceptor and organic donors with a triphenylamine, carbazole, or tetraphenylethylene moiety. The triphenylamine-modified SCC exhibits aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) but no mechanofluorochromism. The carbazole and tetraphenylethylene-based SCCs exhibit changes in aggregate fluorescence and also exhibit reversible mechanofluorochromism. This work not only reports three rare metallacycles with AIEE, aggregate fluorescence change, or mechanofluorochromic nature but also explores their potential applications in cell imaging and solid-state lighting.

Several micro- and nanoplastic particle (MNP) traits, like polymer type, size, and shape, have been shown to influence MNP toxicity. However, the direction and strength of these moderating effects are often unclear, and generalizations from single studies are challenging to establish. Meta-analyses increase generalizability and derive more accurate and precise effect size estimates by combining measurements from published studies.

Animal models of the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD) have provided most of the treatments to date, but the disease is restricted to human patients. In vitro models using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs)-derived neural organoids have provided improved access to study PD etiology. This study established a method to generate human striatal-midbrain assembloids (hSMAs) from hPSCs for modeling alpha-synuclein (α-syn) propagation and recapitulating basal ganglia circuits, including nigrostriatal and striatonigral pathways.

Aims: The clusterin (CLU) gene is genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and CLU levels have been shown to positively correlate with regional Aβ deposition in the brain, including in arteries from cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) patients. CLU has also been shown to alter the aggregation, toxicity and blood-brain barrier transport of amyloid beta (Aβ) and has therefore been suggested to play a key role in regulating the balance between Aβ deposition and clearance in both the brain and cerebral blood vessels. However, it remains unclear whether the role of clusterin in relation to Aβ deposition is protective or pathogenic.

Amyloid-β (Aβ) is implicated in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and plays a significant role in neuronal degeneration. Aβ in solution is essential during the initial stages of developing lead compounds that influence Aβ fibrillation. The tendency of the Aβ peptide to misfold in solution is correlated with the etiology of AD.

J-Aggregates hold significant promise for high-resolution shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging, yet achieving robust SWIR absorption and emission simultaneously has been hindered by hypsochromic shifts in absorption and emission quenching caused by undesirable H- and random aggregation. To address this, we developed highly fluorescent BODIPY J-aggregates exhibiting absorption and emission spanning 1000-1600 nm. A key innovation was the implementation of a zig-zag molecular design, which effectively suppressed H-aggregation and minimized intermolecular interactions, thereby enabling anti-quenching SWIR emission.
