Defects in the formation of microvascular networks, which provide oxygen and nutrients to cells, are the main reason for the engraftment failure of clinically applicable engineered tissues. Inflammatory responses and immunomodulation can promote the vascularization of the engineered tissues. We developed a capillary construct composed of a gelatin methacrylate-based cell-laden hydrogel framework complexed with interleukin-4 (IL-4)-loaded alginate-chitosan (AC) microspheres and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and RAW264.7 macrophages as model cells. The AC microspheres maintained and guided the EPCs through electrostatic adhesion, facilitating the formation of microvascular networks. The IL-4-loaded microspheres promoted the polarization of the macrophages into the M2 type, leading to a reduction in pro-inflammatory factors and enhancement of the vascularization. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that, without IL-4 or AC microspheres, the scaffold was less effective in angiogenesis. We provide an alternative and promising approach for constructing vascularized tissues.

Highly dispersed surface Cu species and oxygen vacancies are important for CuOx–CeO2 catalysts in many reactions, but it is difficult to increase the concentrations of highly dispersed Cu species and oxygen vacancies simultaneously by only adding a Cu component. Herein, CuOx–ZrO2–CeO2 (CZC) nanocatalysts with different ratios of Cu/Zr have been effectively produced by a simple solvent-free synthetic strategy. The effect of Zr doping on the structure and reactivity of the CuOx–CeO2 catalysts has been investigated with the help of carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction as model reactions. It is revealed that the introduction of Zr relieved the agglomeration of surface Cu species, produced more oxygen vacancies in the interior and Cu+ species on the surface of the catalyst, and increased the reducibility of CuOx–CeO2. The CZC catalysts show remarkably enhanced catalytic activity due to the abundant surface active sites and the improved redox properties provided by the suitable doping of Zr into CuOx–CeO2. This work not only offers a practicable way to reconstruct the distribution of active metals on the metal oxide support but also provides a high-efficiency strategy to prepare oxide catalysts with excellent catalytic performance.

The authors describe a fluorescence immunoassay for galectin-4, a candidate biomarker for various cancers. Glucose oxidase was encapsulated into a zeolitic imidazolate framework to give a composite (GOx/ZIF-8 composite) that acts as a signal-transduction tag via a biomimetic mineralization process. After modification of the composite with streptavidin, it binds biotinylated antibody against galectin-4. In the immunoassay, the response to galectin-4 results from the enzymatic oxidation of glucose. This reaction produces hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) that reacts with iron(II) ions to generate hydroxy radical (•OH), which leads to the quenching of the fluorescence of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). Accordingly, the fluorescence quenching of AuNCs depends on the concentration of target galectin-4. The GOx/ZIF-8 composite has a high loading capacity for GOx at uncompromised enzymatic activity. The fluorescence of AuNCs is sensitively quenched by •OH radicals. Galectin-4 can be detected by this method in concentrations as low as 10 pg·mL −1 . It is expected that this kind of enzyme/MOF composite-based immunoassay has a wide scope in that it may be adapted to other low-abundance proteins and biomarkers.

The use of physical barriers is an effective strategy for preventing postoperative adhesion, a prevalent complication in clinical abdominal surgeries. However, the current anti-adhesion barriers face limitations in precisely regulating key cellular responses during tissue repair. In this study, a multi-modal synergistic degradable anti-adhesion membrane was developed via coaxial electrospinning of poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and diclofenac sodium (DS). The designed membrane features a densely packed fibrous architecture, exhibiting over 97 % inhibition efficiency against fibroblasts interlayer penetration in vitro. The rapid initial release of DS synergizes with PGA-mediated biological functions to suppress fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation, and to significantly mitigate early-stage pathological changes. This cascade effect ultimately leads to reduced collagen deposition and significantly diminished adhesion formation, as demonstrated in a mouse cecal and peritoneal abrasion model. Furthermore, the membrane demonstrates exceptional flexibility and enhanced hydrophilicity, ensuring conformal coverage of complex three-dimensional wounds. The integration of structural design, controlled drug release, and dynamic biological modulation renders this multifunctional barrier as a promising candidate for next-generation clinical anti-adhesion applications.

Though there are numerous intrinsic merits of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), low charge separation efficiency has imposed heavy restrictions on their photocatalytic application. Herein, in situ porphyrin ligand substitution, as a strategy for improving the charge separation efficiency and increasing the amounts of active sites, has been designed and realized in a Hf-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid (BPDC) MOF. Specifically, a size and geometry matched meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) ligand was selected and doped into Hf-BPDC MOF by forming coordinating bonds with Hf centers, forming dual-ligand Hf-BPDC-TCPP MOF. The resultant Hf-BPDC-TCPP MOF showed significantly improved activity and chemical stability in the photocatalytic H 2 generation (261 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 ) and tetracycline (TC) degradation reactions (95.8%), which was 48 and 1.47 folds higher than that of the Hf-BPDC MOF. Photophysical and electrochemical studies revealed that the introduction of porphyrin ligand could generate a stronger internal electric field for boosting the charge separation and transfer, increase the specific surface area for providing more active sites, and narrow the band gap to enhance the visible light absorption. This in situ ligand substitution method provides a promising approach to build a tunable platform for constructing high-performance MOF photocatalysts. Graphical Abstract

Anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids, are synthesized in a branch of the flavonoid pathway. Dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) catalyzes the first reaction leading to anthocyanins, and it is considered a key regulatory enzyme of anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants. In this research, we isolated three new DFR genes by searching the whole-genomic sequence data of Ginkgo biloba . The genes have similar structures and are clustered in the same scaffold. Sequence analyses of GbDFR proteins revealed that these GbDFRs have a closer relationship to Arabidopsis thaliana DFRs than previously identified GbDFRs. Expression analyses revealed that GbDFR4 and GbDFR6 were preferentially expressed in leaves and fruit, respectively. Young and mature leaves shared similar gene expression patterns, while fruit harvested in May had significantly higher expression levels of GbDFR s than fruit harvested in June. Transgenic tobacco plants ectopically overexpressing GbDFR genes showed higher DFR enzymatic activity levels, higher anthocyanin contents and darker flowers than the control. Ginkgo seedlings treated with NaCl showed increased total flavonoid and anthocyanin contents, and the expression levels of GbDFR genes were also induced. In contrast, UV-B irradiation increased the total flavonoid content but decreased both the anthocyanin content and GbDFR expression levels. A salicylic acid treatment induced and inhibited the total flavonoid content with and without light, respectively. In contrast, both the GbDFR expression levels and the anthocyanin content were inhibited by the salicylic acid treatment regardless of the light conditions. This research validated the functions of GbDFRs and expands our understanding of the environmental stress-response mechanisms of ginkgo trees.

Organic fluorescent molecules with π-conjugated system have shown great importance in numerous applications including bioimaging and optoelectronics. Planar aggregation-induced emissive (AIE) organic compounds with efficient solid-state luminescence are rarely developed and urgently needed in various applications. In this work, highly planar 4-styrylbenzonitrile derivatives have been synthesized. Most of these compounds show strong AIE properties with hundred-fold fluorescent enhancement. Moreover, these molecules are deep blue emissive in solid state, exhibiting good to excellent fluorescence quantum efficiency. The single crystal analysis shows that adjacent molecules could form special J-type aggregation. The intramolecular rotations are efficiently restricted by various noncovalent interactions. These molecular arrangements could be essential for the observed strong emission in aggregated and solid state. This work has paved a new path to efficient AIE-active organic emitters with highly planar conformations from 4-styrylbenzonitrile structure.

Bioreductions catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) play an important role in the synthesis of chiral alcohols. However, the synthesis of ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate [(S)-CHBE], an important drug intermediate, has significant challenges concerning high substrate or product inhibition toward ADHs, which complicates its production. Herein, we evaluated a novel ADH, SmADH31, obtained from the Stenotrophomonas maltophilia genome, which can tolerate extremely high concentrations (6 M) of both substrate and product. The coexpression of SmADH31 and glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis in Escherichia coli meant that as much as 660 g L–1 (4.0 M) ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate was completely converted into (S)-CHBE in a monophasic aqueous system with a >99.9% ee value and a high space-time yield (2664 g L–1 d–1). Molecular dynamics simulation shed light on the high activity and stereoselectivity of SmADH31. Moreover, five other optically pure chiral alcohols were synthesized at high concentrations (100–462 g L–1) as a result of the broad substrate spectrum of SmADH31. All these compounds act as important drug intermediates, demonstrating the industrial potential of SmADH31-mediated bioreductions.

A differential pulse voltammetric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol, 4-aminophenol and dopamine at pH 7.0 using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and a layered double hydroxide sodium modified with dodecyl sulfate (SDS-LDH). The modified electrode displays excellent redox activity towards paracetamol, and the redox current is increased (and the corresponding over-potential decreased) compared to those of the bare GCE, the AuNPs-modified GCE, and the SDS-LDH-modified GCE. The modified electrode enables the determination of paracetamol in the concentration range from 0.5 to 400 μM, with a detection limit of 0.13 μM (at an S/N of 3). The sensor was successfully applied to the stimultaneous determination of paracetamol and dopamine, and of paracetamol and 4-aminophenol, respectively, in pharmaceutical tablets and in spiked human serum samples.

A facile and cost-effective preparation of silver nanoparticles decorated magnetic composite for the effective catalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and Methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB) was investigated. Fe 3 O 4 @Polystyrene@Ag (Fe 3 O 4 @PS@Ag) catalyst was prepared via a two-step procedure. Firstly, carboxyl groups modified magnetic microspheres (Fe 3 O 4 @PS-COOH) has been successfully synthesized by microemulsion polymerization. Then Ag ions were adsorbed and in-situ reduced on the surface of Fe 3 O 4 @PS microspheres . To estimate the catalytic activity of Fe 3 O 4 @PS@Ag catalyst, the reduction experiments of MB, RhB and 4-NP were performed in the presence of NaBH 4 . The results indicated that Fe 3 O 4 @PS@Ag catalyst has a good catalytic performance and these dyes can be reduced in a very short time, which the apparent rate coefficients are 0.0089 s −1 , 0.0187 s −1 and 0.0086 s −1 for MB, RhB and 4-NP respectively. In addition, it could be easily collected from aqueous solution by a magnet so that the catalyst could be recovered and reused after the catalytic process. The catalytic activity was still high after seven cycles. This catalytic reaction is in agreement with the pseudo-first-order kinetic equation . Furthermore, the as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @PS@Ag catalyst outperforms other catalysts in the degradation of these organic dyes.

A series of 4-methoxy-3-arylamido- N -(substitutedphenyl)benzamides 6a – u were designed according to the splicing principle of structural design in the medicinal chemistry theory and were synthesized in five steps: nitration, acylation, ammoniation, reduction, and secondary ammoniation. The structures of the target compounds were characterized and verified by infrared, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13 C NMR, and electron spray ionization spectroscopy. Their in vitro antiplatelet aggregation activities induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or arachidonic acid (AA) were assessed by Born's method. The biological evaluation revealed that all compounds exhibited certain levels of activities in both of the antiplatelet aggregation assays; compounds 6c (IC 50 = 3.84 μM) and 6f (IC 50 = 3.12 μM) displayed the strongest antiplatelet aggregation activities in the ADP-induced and AA-induced assay, separately. Moreover, compounds that had stronger activities were chosen for cell toxicity testing via the cell counting kit-8 assay. The results indicated that none of the compounds had obvious cell toxicity against L929 cells at the doses of 10 and 20 μM. It is worth pointing out that compound 6c showed the highest antiplatelet activity and the lowest cell toxicity. In general, 4-methoxy-3-arylamido- N -(substitutedphenyl)benzamides have the potential to become a kind of safer and more effective antiplatelet agents.

4-Carboxy-benzoboroxole was designed and synthesized. It was then combined with the modification effect of polyethyleneimine (PEI) for the preparation of boronate affinity silica stationary phase. The stationary phase showed improved binding strength with dissociation constant ( K d ) towards xanthosine as low as 2.48 × 10 −4 M. The column showed excellent selectivity , high binding capacities (88.3 μmol adenosine g −1 , pH 7.0) and the lowest binding pH (4.0 for cytidine and as low as 2.24 for xanthosine). These binding properties were superior to the existing boronate affinity materials, facilitating the selective extraction of trace cis -diol compounds in complex samples and greatly expanding the application scope of boronate affinity chromatography . In addition, the column showed secondary separation capability under acidic conditions and this secondary separation capability was investigated thoroughly. It was found that the separation was pH-dependent and mainly determined by binding strength with the possibility of involvement of other interaction, providing alternative strategy for the separation of cis -diol compounds. The feasibility and practicability were demonstrated through the selective enrichment of nucleosides in urine samples and the results indicated the excellent performance and great potential for the extraction of trace cis -diol compounds in complex samples.
