Efficient Calculation of Absorption Spectra of Platinum Complexes Used as Luminescent Probes for Cancer Detection

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 23, September 5, 2026.
Luminescent transition‐metal complexes can identify DNA abnormalities, but efficient theoretical protocols for predicting their optical properties remain limited. We here benchmark a Pt(II) pincer complex in both isolated and DNA‐intercalated forms, showing that PBE0/PBEh‐3c offers the best overall balance for efficiently calculated UV‐Vis spectra ...

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration

BMEMat, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

Recovery From Problematic Gaming Through the Lens of the Transtheoretical Model of Change: A Thematic Synthesis of Forum Posts

Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background With growing concerns over video games being harmful to children and adults alike, research into problematic gaming has been on the rise. While a lot of studies had investigated the effectiveness of different treatment approaches, only a couple of studies explored what the wider process of recovery from problematic gaming looks like.

Synthesis, In Vitro Cytotoxic Evaluation, DFT Calculation and Molecular Docking for Novel Pyridine Derivative Platinum Complexes

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Novel pyridine derivative platinum complexes were prepared as new agents with potential for use in onco‐medicine. These complexes showed significant activity against human lung cancer cells (A549). The molecular docking data indicated that the 2ITO protein of the lung cancer cell interact with the complexes. ABSTRACT Novel pyridine derivative platinium

Making Sense of Other Cultures: Phenomenological Critique of Cultural Relativism

, 2009
The concept of cultural relativism enabled anthropologists to overcome ethnocentrism. Nevertheless, if we hold that every culture is valid on its own terms or all cultures are equally worthy of approbation, then it douses the spirit of a critique of ...
