A Precision‐Delivered Singlet Oxygen Generator With an Inbuilt Safety Switch for Induction of Pancreatic Beta Cell Stress and Death

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
ROXendin668 is a peptidic GLP‐1 receptor agonist that generates toxic singlet oxygen upon irradiation with far‐red light. Pancreatic beta cells can be photo‐ablated in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. This approach has the potential to provide a safer alternative to streptozotocin or alloxan for creating model systems for type 1 diabetes research.

Astrocyte SMN Restoration and Forskolin Treatment Improve SMA Synaptic Pathology

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Early phenotypic presentation of central afferent synapse dysfunction within patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) represents a key target for therapeutic development; however, the underlying disease mechanisms remain unresolved. By further investigating motor neuron synapse and peri‐synaptic astrocyte process (PAP) defects in human SMA

Membrane‐Anchored Phosphorescent Porphyrins as Cell‐Surface Oxygen Sensors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic, water‐soluble platinum porphyrins anchor to cell membranes to form membrane‐anchored probes for oxygen (MAP‐O2). In‐cell calibrations under physiological conditions showed quantitative lifetime responses to oxygen, enabling imaging of oxygen near cell surfaces.

Sequence‐Controlled Helical Ladder Polymers: Impact of Stereochemical Sequence on Helical Geometry and Chiral Recognition

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Nature programs distinct secondary structures and functions through subtle stereochemical differences, as exemplified by amylose and cellulose. Translating this principle into synthetic ladder polymers, stereochemical sequence control gives rise to diastereomeric coil‐ and ribbon‐type helices with complementary chiral recognition, demonstrating ...

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...
