True Closed‐Loop Recyclable Hydrogels Enabled by Imine Boronic Ester Crosslinking

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Subtle molecular differences in imine boronic ester crosslinkers profoundly influence hydrogel properties. 2‐formylphenylboronic acid crosslinkers form previously undisclosed 3‐amino‐benzoxaborole heterocycles, enhancing elasticity despite lower crosslinking density compared to their 4‐formylphenylboronic acid counterparts.

Bis‐Naphthyl Dipicolinic Dicarboxamide‐Based Self‐Assembled Aqueous Nano Dispersion as an Efficient Light Harvesting Medium and Cucurbit[7]Uril Host Complexation Effect Study

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Bis‐naphthyl‐4‐hydroxy‐dipicolinic‐dicarboxamide, a small molecule, forms nanodispersion as an efficient light‐harvesting medium in aqueous solution. Further cucurbit[7]uril addition was found to inhibit the FRET co‐assembly by host‐guest complexation. ABSTRACT Development of artificial light harvesting systems in a minimalistic self‐assembly model is ...

Malectin Alleviates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus via Glycoprotein Quality Control Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Malectin alleviates high glucose‐induced ER stress and damage in placental trophoblasts, a function dependent on its six critical carbohydrate‐binding residues. In a GDM mouse model, administration of TAT‐Malectin ameliorated hyperglycemia and placental ER stress and prevented fetal macrosomia.
