Backbone Steric Constraints Underlie High Passive Membrane Permeability of N‐Alkyl Peptides

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Beyond amide hydrogen removal, steric constraints encoded in N/Cα‐dually substituted backbones are uncovered as a key determinant of passive membrane permeability in N‐alkyl peptides. These constraints restrict conformational freedom and sterically limit backbone hydration during membrane permeation.

Host‐Specific Interactions Between Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Impair Epithelial Repair in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently associated with polymicrobial biofilms involving Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Interactions between these organisms are thought to influence disease severity, but the epithelial effects of exoproteins derived from patient‐matched cocultures remain poorly defined ...

Single‐Atom Control of Aromaticity and Excited‐State Dynamics in Endohedral Zirconium–Antimony Zintl Clusters

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Single‐atom growth from [Zr@Sb12]2− to [Zr@Sb13]3− disrupts the closed‐shell S2P6 superatomic configuration and markedly attenuates three‐dimensional (3D) aromaticity. Ultrafast spectroscopy further links stronger spherical aromaticity to slower excited‐state relaxation, establishing an atom‐resolved structure‐aromaticity‐dynamics relationship ...

Refining a preclinical model of viral myocarditis in accordance with biotech standards

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aimed to refine a murine model of Coxsackievirus B3‐induced myocarditis by integrating dietary and imaging innovations to improve animal welfare, data quality, and clinical applicability. The refined diet significantly reduced animal health burden, reduced weight loss, and stabilized blood glucose during development of cardiac inflammation ...

Ambiphilic Ligand Stabilization of Aluminum(I) Fragments: Halides, Cations, and a Hydride

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Stabilization of elusive aluminum(I) halides in the framework of an ambiphilic ligand is reported. The unique bonding situation at the trigonal‐bipyramidal aluminum center is analyzed, and the coordination chemistry and Al(I)Br transfer reactivity of the complexes are presented.

Modeling Catheter‐Associated Bladder Mucosal Adhesion and Microtrauma Using a Human Urothelial Microtissue Model

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Intermittent catheter use can damage the urinary tract and predispose to infection. We deployed a complex human urothelial model to investigate. Catheter contact induced compressive and shear stress causing umbrella cell disruption, reduced barrier function, inflammation and increased cell adhesion to the catheter surface.

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
