Tailored for Binding: Alanine‐Modified Poly(1‐Naphthylamine) Targets Serum Albumins

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Alanine modified poly(1‐naphthylamine). ABSTRACT This study presents a new approach for modifying the structural and functional properties of poly(1‐naphthylamine) (PNA) by incorporating the amino acid alanine (Ala) in different molar proportions (80/20, 50/50, and 20/80 for PNA/Ala) through an ultrasound‐assisted polymerization process.

Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...

Phase‐inversion constructed Mo2C@NC microreactor with optimized pyridinic N p‐band center for high‐performance Li–S batteries

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A phase‐inversion constructed Mo2C@NC microreactor activates the intrinsic catalysis of nitrogen‐doped carbon via interfacial electron redistribution. Strong charge transfer to pyridinic N optimizes the p‐band center, enabling efficient lithium polysulfide adsorption, fast redox kinetics, and long‐term stable, high‐rate Li–S battery performance ...

Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Chemical Pollutants and Parasitic Fungi on Cyanobacterial Metabolism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic pollutants, including the widely used herbicide metolachlor (MET) and cigarette butt (CB) litter. Parasites represent an additional biotic stressor that can modulate pollutant effects on their hosts.
