Article Abstract
Approaches for skeletal modification of conjugated polymers are limited. This study investigates the conversion of the isoindigo group into the 3,3'-(ethane-1,2-diylidene)bis(indolin-2-one) (EBI) moiety. Optimal reaction conditions, involving triethylamine (TEA), HO, and O, are employed for the skeletal modification of polyisoindigo P1 into polyEBI P2. The success of this transformation is confirmed through NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. A proposed mechanism for the P1-to-P2 conversion involves TEA activation, retro-aldol reactions, and subsequent aldol reactions. This modification is conceptually akin to CRISPR gene editing, encompassing three key steps: cleavage, insertion, and deletion. However, the skeletal modification of another polyisoindigo, P3, is unsuccessful, likely due to the absence of the insertion and deletion steps. Additionally, the thermal, electrochemical, optical, and scattering properties of the polymers are characterized. This study introduces a novel method for modifying polyisoindigo into polyEBI, advancing skeletal modification strategies for conjugated polymers.

Human skeletal muscle comprises slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II) fibers. Fiber type-specific analyses often require manual isolation of fibers, necessitating effective tissue preservation. While freeze-drying remains the standard, alternative preservation methods such as RNAlater and RNAlater-ICE are increasingly used.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the gender-specific associations of skeletal muscle mass and fat mass with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NAFLD-related liver fibrosis in two population-based studies.
Methods: Analyses were based on data from the MEGA (n = 238) and the MEIA study (n = 594) conducted between 2018 and 2023 in Augsburg, Germany. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to evaluate relative skeletal muscle mass (rSM) and SM index (SMI) as well as relative fat mass (rFM) and FM index (FMI); furthermore, the fat-to-muscle ratio was built.

The rapid emergence of mineralized structures in diverse animal groups during the late Ediacaran and early Cambrian periods likely resulted from modifications of pre-adapted biomineralization genes inherited from a common ancestor. As the oldest extant phylum with mineralized structures, sponges are key to understanding animal biomineralization. Yet, the biomineralization process in sponges, particularly in forming spicules, is not well understood.

Aluminum is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal element that is widely used in industries, construction, food, and pharmaceuticals, and it can adversely affect multiple organ systems including the nervous system, skeletal system, reproductive system, blood system, and immune system. In present study, we investigated the effects of aluminum exposure on mammalian embryo development. Our data demonstrate that aluminum exposure induces mouse early embryo development defects, including those at the zygotes and 2-cell stages, causing a decrease in general transcription activity.

Skeletal muscle alpha actin (ACTA1) is important for muscle contraction and relaxation, with historical studies focused on ACTA1 mutations in muscle dysfunction. Proteomics reports have consistently observed that actin, including ACTA1, is acetylated at multiple lysine sites. However, few reports have studied the effects of actin acetylation on cellular function, and fewer have examined ACTA1 acetylation on skeletal muscle function.
