Article Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) is important for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. However, the ultradilute atmospheric CO concentration (~400 parts per million) poses a formidable hurdle for high CO capture capacities using sorption-desorption processes. Here, we present a Lewis acid-base interaction-derived hybrid sorbent with polyamine-Cu(II) complex enabling over 5.0 mol of CO capture/kg sorbent, nearly two to three times greater capacity than most of the DAC sorbents reported to date. The hybrid sorbent, such as other amine-based sorbents, is amenable to thermal desorption at less than 90°C. In addition, seawater was validated as a viable regenerant, and the desorbed CO is simultaneously sequestered as innocuous, chemically stable alkalinity (NaHCO). The dual-mode regeneration offers unique flexibility and facilitates using oceans as decarbonizing sinks to widen DAC application opportunities.

Selenification/Cyclization Reactions of Nonactivated Allyl 1,7-Diene: Access to Seleno-Benzo[]oxepine Derivatives.

A convenient protocol for the synthesis of selenated benzoxepine derivatives via iron(III)-catalyzed 7-endo-trig cyclization has been first established via reaction of 1,7-diene containing nonactivated allyl and dialkyl diselenides under room temperature and air conditions. Research has shown that different dialkyl diselenides could react with a wide range of 1,7-diene to achieve seven-membered products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, this synthesis was directed to obtain the desired target products, indicating that this approach has an excellent chemical selectivity.

Study Question: What is the direct effect of mumps virus (MuV) replication within the human testis on the tissue innate immune responses and testicular cell functions?
Summary Answer: MuV induces an early pro-inflammatory response in the human testis ex vivo and infects both Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, which drastically alters testosterone and inhibin B production.
What Is Known Already: Despite widespread vaccination efforts, orchitis remains a significant complication of MuV infection, especially in young men, which potentially results in infertility in up to 87% of patients with bilateral orchitis. Our understanding of MuV pathogenesis in the human testis has been limited by the lack of relevant animal models, impairing the development of effective treatments.
directional abscission of dandelion seeds.

Seed dispersal through wind was historically considered a random process; however, plants can influence their dispersal through non-random seed detachment or abscission. Dandelion seeds facing the wind tend to abscise before those facing downwind, yet the mechanism that supports this has remained unclear. We measured the force needed for abscission in different directions and performed imaging of the detachment process.

Background: Currently, most researchers apply pollen extracts or -suspensions to assess the effects of pollen exposure on airway epithelia. How respiratory epithelia respond to pollen aerosols is not well studied because standardised methods to aerosolize pollen were not available until recently.
Aim Of Study: To develop and test a near-natural exposure model for pollen grains based on differentiated human nasal epithelial cells and a novel particle aerosoliser.
HO and CO Sorption in Ion-Exchange Sorbents: Distinct Interactions in Amine Versus Quaternary Ammonium Materials.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

This study investigates the HO and CO sorption behavior of two chemically distinct polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based ion exchange sorbents: a primary amine and a permanently charged strong base quaternary ammonium (QA) group with (bi)carbonate counter anions. We compare their distinct interactions with HO and CO through simultaneous thermal gravimetric, calorimetric, gas analysis, and molecular modeling approaches to evaluate their performance for dilute CO separations like direct air capture. Thermal and hybrid (heat + low-temperature hydration) desorption experiments demonstrate that the QA-based sorbent binds both water and CO more strongly than the amine counterparts but undergoes degradation at moderate temperatures, limiting its compatibility with thermal swing regeneration.
