Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction in an Array of Femtoliter Polydimethylsiloxane Microreactors

open access: yes, 2016
We developed a simple, compact microfluidic device to perform high dynamic-range digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) in an array of isolated 36-femtoliter microreactors. The density of the microreactors exceeded 20 000/mm2.

FXF‐OMe Is a Stable Tripeptide Motif for Ultra‐Short Peptide Coacervates That Establishes Structure‐Property‐Function Relationships

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Ultra‐short peptides with a minimal sticker‐spacer structure undergo liquid‐liquid phase separation, resulting in condensates with microenvironments controlled by the hydrophobicity of the spacers. The condensates provide an easily tunable and exceptionally stable scaffold for photocatalytic microreactors in aqueous media, where catalysis efficiency is

Engineering Protein‐Polymer Hybrid Multilayer Microreactors as Antioxidant and Anti‐Inflammatory Therapeutics: Effect of Single Enzyme Nanogel Localization Within the Multilayer Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Protein‐based multilayer microreactors combine single‐enzyme nanogels (SENs) and layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly to control catalase localization. Positioning the enzyme within the core or at different locations of the multilayer architecture reveals how spatial organization influences antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activity.

Engineering metal‐organic framework‐based smart porous nanoplatforms for targeted therapy and theranostic applications

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
MOFs offer high porosity and tunability for biomedical applications, especially in cancer therapy via ROS generation and targeted delivery. Though toxicity, stability, and scalability remain key clinical challenges. Drug loading in MOFs exceeds 60%–70% with controlled release behavior.

Rapid Flow Synthesis of Zr‐MOF Nanoparticles in Supercritical CO2 for Toxic Chemical Removal

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Supercritical CO2 continuous‐flow synthesis produces highly crystalline Zr‐MOFs with residence times as short as 75 s. The resulting UiO‐66 and UiO‐66‐NH2 exhibit high porosity and effective adsorption and degradation of toxic chemicals. ABSTRACT Zirconium‐based metal‐organic frameworks (Zr‐MOFs) are promising materials for the adsorption and ...

Advances in Unconventional and Sustainable Synthetic Approaches to Benzopyran Scaffolds

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of low‐impact synthetic methodologies reported in the last 8 years (2018–2026) for the construction of benzopyran‐derived scaffolds, such as coumarins, flavones, chromones, chromenes, and chromanes. The benzopyran scaffold is a versatile family of heterocycles found in a wide range of bioactive

The 5T Paradox of Triclosan: From Toiletries to Toxic Trash, a Growing Threat to Humanity

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) persists as a contaminant of concern in the Anthropocene, despite regulatory actions. Environmental dissemination continues through wastewater effluents, biosolid application, and improper disposal practices. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence regarding triclosan's environmental fate, transformation pathways ...

Compartmentalisation in cAMP signalling: A phase separation perspective

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cells rely on precise spatiotemporal control of signalling pathways to ensure functional specificity. The compartmentalisation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signalling enables distinct cellular responses within a crowded cytoplasmic space.
