The selective dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene is a critical transformation in the polymer industry, enabling the production of high-value comonomers for low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). While homogeneous palladium catalysts offer…
The economic feasibility of recycling platinum group metals (PGMs) from spent automotive catalysts hinges on energy efficiency, process speed, and operational cost. This study presents a comprehensive cost and energy…
The selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes is a crucial transformation in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. In this study, we demonstrate that engineering the exposed crystal facets of palladium…
The development of fluorescent probes with high selectivity, low background noise, and responsiveness to physiological conditions is essential for the accurate detection of amyloid fibrils in complex biological systems. In…
Crocetin, the aglycone derivative of crocin, has gained increasing recognition for its potent anti-metastatic properties across a range of cancer types. Unlike crocin, which is more hydrophilic and stable in…
Functionalized aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) designed to degrade through intramolecular cyclization represent a promising strategy for creating biomaterials with predictable and stimulus-responsive degradation profiles. This mechanism relies on pendant nucleophilic groups—such…
This research presents a highly innovative multifunctional imaging platform based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) gen-functionalized microbubbles (AIE-Gd MBs), developed by Professor Zhengbao Zha and Tao He’s teams at Hefei University…
Hypochlorite (ClO⁻) is a biologically relevant oxidant produced by neutrophils during immune responses, playing a dual role as both a defense mechanism and a contributor to oxidative damage when overproduced.…
NUT carcinoma (NUT-C) is a highly aggressive, poorly differentiated malignancy that was formally recognized in the 2017 WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumors. It is genetically defined by chromosomal…
The comprehensive evaluation of DPPB-Gd-I nanoparticles in both in vitro and in vivo settings confirms their robust performance as a multifunctional theranostic platform. In vitro cytotoxicity assays using NIH-3T3 normal…
