Multivalent RNA‐Cleaving Agents on a Cubic Octameric Silsesquioxane Core

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
RNA‐cleaving agents on a cubic octameric silsesquioxane core were synthesized and characterized. Several catalytic systems of these structures were screened using hexaribonucleotide models. The best systems were then further used to study their catalytic efficiency in cleaving a HER2 mRNA model sequence. The induced cleavage sites were also determined.

Current Insights into the Epidemiology and Transmission Dynamics of African Swine Fever Virus and Future Control Perspectives

Pathogens
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is an evolving threat to global swine health and food security, driven by its complex epidemiology, multi-host transmission cycles, and ongoing spread across countries.

How 1st‐Tier Suppliers Respond to Green Public Procurement Policies: An Empirical Analysis

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyses how 1st‐tier suppliers to public organisations respond operationally to Green Public Procurement (GPP) policies. Through a multiple case study of 12 Italian firms operating in different sectors, we develop a classification of suppliers' responses, identifying two interrelated macro‐types: internal operations realignment ...

Digital Transformation in Work Integration Social Enterprises: Leadership Strategies and the Role of Internal Stakeholders

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital transformation is increasingly reshaping how social enterprises organize work, engage stakeholders, and pursue social value. While prior research has examined digitalization in hybrid organizations, limited attention has been paid to how responsibility for inclusive digital transformation is enacted internally.

Exploring the transcriptome of immature stages of Ornithodoros hermsi, the soft-tick vector of tick-borne relapsing fever

Scientific Reports
Blood-feeding behavior has independently evolved in arthropods multiple times. Unlike hard ticks, soft ticks employ a rapid-feeding strategy for hematophagy, and there are comparatively limited studies on the transcriptomes of these organisms. This study

Jaw‐specific stem cell dynamics are associated with distinct enamel architecture in mouse incisors

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The continuously growing mouse incisor serves as a model for stem cell‐driven tooth renewal. Although mice possess maxillary and mandibular incisors, most studies have focused on the mandible. Potential differences in structure and renewal between these serially homologous organs remain insufficiently characterized.

Chemically Modular, Nonfluorinated Polymer Adsorbents for Capturing Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Nonfluorinated polymer networks for PFAS adsorption are synthesized using active ester click chemistry. Incorporating Lewis base ligands along with hydrophilic and hydrophobic co‐monomers leads to high PFOA binding efficiency. Ligand basicity and pH are found to play an important role in PFOA sorption.
