Computational exploration of copper catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of unsaturated compounds
Scientific Reports, 2021 Selective oxidation is one of the most important and challenging transformations in both academic research and chemical industry. Recently, a highly selective and efficient way to synthesize biologically active γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated molecules from Cu-

Cryo‐EM structure of orphan G protein‐coupled receptor GPR21
MedComm, 2023 GPR21 belongs to class A orphan G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR). The endogenous ligands for human GPR21 remain unidentified. GPR21 expression is associated with developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a multifactorial metabolic disease caused by pancreatic ...

Clustering psychopathology in male anabolic–androgenic steroid users and nonusing weightlifters
Brain and Behavior, 2023 Introduction Prior research has demonstrated that personality disorders and clinical psychiatric syndromes are common among users of anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS). However, the prevalence, expression, and severity of psychopathology differ among AAS

Twist-bend nematics and heliconical cholesterics: a physico-chemical analysis of phase transitions and related specific properties [PDF]
, 2021 Certain nematic liquid crystals, e.g., those formed by banana-shaped molecules, can exhibit a low-temperature twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase. Upon addition of chiral dopants, a chiral version of the twist-bend phase (N*tb) can be observed below the conventional chiral nematic (N*) phase, while under electric field the N* phase is transformed into a ...

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Divergent Evolution of Progesterone and Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Terrestrial Vertebrates and Fish Influences Endocrine Disruption [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 There is much concern about disruption of endocrine physiology regulated by steroid hormones in humans, other terrestrial vertebrates and fish by industrial chemicals, such as bisphenol A, and pesticides, such as DDT. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals influence steroid-mediated physiology in humans and other vertebrates by competing with steroids ...

Interleukin-2 receptor antagonists for pediatric liver transplant recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies [PDF]
Pediatric Transplantation, 18(8):839-850, 2014, 2014 Interleukin-2 receptor antagonists (IL-2RA) are frequently used as induction therapy in liver transplant recipients to decrease the risk of acute rejection while allowing the reduction of concomitant immunosuppression. The exact association with the use of IL-2RA however is uncertain.
