Growth, Dissolution and Segregation of Genetically Encoded RNA Droplets by Ribozyme Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Ribozymes enable sequence‐encoded turnover of RNA droplet material, resulting in transiently active droplets that selectively segregate based on their genotype. This establishes a direct link between genetic information and droplet behavior, marking a step toward programmable, evolvable RNA‐based compartments with life‐like properties.

Engineering Fluoroacetate Dehalogenase by Growth‐Based Selections on Non‐Natural Organofluorides

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We present a high‐throughput selection system to engineer fluoroacetate dehalogenases (FAcDs). By challenging E. coli populations that produce diverse FAcD libraries to grow on non‐natural organofluorides as their sole carbon source, we isolated a panel of FAcD variants with improved activity and altered substrate specificity.

Impact of Microsurgical Reconstruction Timing on the Risk of Free Flap Loss in Acute Burns: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Background:. Free tissue transfer is usually considered as a last resort in severe burn cases, when skin substitutes and local flaps are not viable options. Prior studies have demonstrated a free flap loss rate ranging from 0% to 44%.
