TRP Channels as Sensors of Aldehyde and Oxidative Stress
The transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel superfamily comprises more than 50 channels that play crucial roles in physiological processes. TRP channels are responsive to several exogenous and endogenous biomolecules, with aldehydes emerging as

Characterization of the human omega-oxidation pathway for omega-hydroxy-very-long-chain fatty acids [PDF]
Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) have long been known to be degraded exclusively in peroxisomes via beta-oxidation. A defect in peroxisomal beta-oxidation results in elevated levels of VLCFAs and is associated with the most frequent inherited ...

Danishefsky’s Diene vs Rawal’s Diene in [4+2] Hetero-Diels-Alder Reactions with Aldehydes
The Diels-Alder reaction remains one of the most versatile and widely employed cycloaddition strategies in synthetic organic chemistry. The development of functionalized dienes, particularly Danishefsky’s diene (DD) and Rawal’s diene (RD), has ...

Synthesis of 2-Acylphenol and Flavene Derivatives from the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxidative C-H Acylation of Phenols with Aldehydes [PDF]
The cationic ruthenium hydride complex [(C6H6)(PCy3)(CO)RuH]+BF4− has been found to be an effective catalyst for the oxidative C–H coupling reaction of phenols with aldehydes to give 2-acylphenol compounds.
