The dynamic monitoring of cell death processes remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity of highly sensitive molecular tools. In this study, two hemicyanine-based probes (5a-5b) with D-π-A structures were developed for organelle-specific viscosity monitoring. Both probes exhibited correlation with the Förster-Hoffmann viscosity-dependent relationship (R > 0.

The movement of molecules across the membranous barriers of a cell is fundamental to cellular homeostasis in every living organism. This vital process is facilitated through a mechanistically diverse class of proteins, collectively known as membrane transporters. Among these are so-called carrier proteins that can function in passive and active transport mechanisms.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway represents a promising target in cancer immunotherapy. However, the clinical translation of cyclic dinucleotide (CDN)-based STING agonists remains hindered by insufficient formation of functional CDN-STING complexes. This critical bottleneck arises from two interdependent barriers: inefficient cytosolic CDN delivery and tumor-specific STING silencing via DNA methyltransferase-mediated promoter hypermethylation.

Recognizing the overlooked: rethinking autism spectrum disorder symptom presentation in girls.

Turk J Pediatr

September 2025

Division of Developmental Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more frequently diagnosed in boys than in girls, possibly due to gender-based differences in symptom presentation or referral patterns. This study investigates gender-related variations in symptom severity and clinical presentation among preschool children referred for suspected ASD.

Methods: This study included 125 children (boys: n=103; girls: n=22) aged 2-5 years suspected of having ASD.
