Metathesis‐Sourced Epoxides in Ring‐Opening Copolymerization: Selective Access to Degradable Polythioesters

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Metathesis‐derived cyclopentene epoxides enable strictly alternating, scrambling‐free ring‐opening copolymerization with phthalic thioanhydride, yielding well‐defined polythioesters with molecular weights up to ∼38 kg/mol. Their performance extends to oxygen‐based anhydrides and selective terpolymerizations. Direct comparisons with all‐oxygen analogues

Palladium-Catalyzed α-Arylation of Dimethyl Malonate and Ethyl Cyanoacetate with o-Alkoxybromobenzenes for the Synthesis of Phenylacetic Acid, Esters and Phenylacetonitriles

SynOpen, 2017
α-Aryl malonate and α-aryl cyano acetate moieties are found in the structures of many bioactive compounds. They are also key intermediates for the synthesis of many compounds such as isoflavonoids.

2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐Dicyano‐1,4‐Benzoquinone (DDQ)‐Mediated CC Bond Formation: Redox Strategies from Stoichiometric to Catalytic Systems

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone serves as a versatile oxidant and redox catalyst for CC bond formation through hydride abstraction or single‐electron transfer. Stoichiometric and catalytic systems enable benzylic, allylic, and aromatic CH activation under mild, metal‐free conditions, providing sustainable routes to complex and bioactive ...

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.

Enzymatic synthesis of bioactive quinolones and (thio)coumarins by fungal type III polyketide synthases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...

Proteomic analysis of the zone of degeneration at the mitosis–meiosis transition stage in wild‐caught male catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), correlated with an unusually high‐water temperature in the English Channel

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of current global change, variations in water temperature are one of the environmental conditions with serious consequences for marine life, including reproductive processes. In the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, spermatogenesis occurs in spermatocysts composed of synchronously developing germ cells associated ...

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

The Preservation of Muscle Mitochondrial Machinery During Hypometabolic Hibernation in Scandinavian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos)

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Unlike humans, brown bears (Ursus arctos) uniquely preserve skeletal muscle mass and function during months of hibernation despite prolonged fasting and inactivity. We investigated how mitochondrial energetics respond in skeletal muscle to support this remarkable resilience.
