Human Myeloperoxidase-Driven Activation of Skin Sensitizing p-Phenylenediamine-related Aromatic Diamines and Phenylpropanoids – Insights from In Chemico and In Silico Approaches

This study demonstrates that human myeloperoxidase (MPO), released by neutrophils during skin sensitization, enzymatically oxidizes specific aromatic diamines and phenylpropanoids into protein-reactive metabolites, thereby revealing a previously unrecognized biological activation pathway that complements existing abiotic and epidermal metabolic mechanisms.

Construction of morphologically differentiated phosphorus-doped zinc oxide nanostructures and their supercapacitive properties

This study demonstrates that phosphorus doping effectively enhances the electrical conductivity and structural stability of zinc oxide nanostructures, with one-dimensional rod-like morphologies (ZNR-P2) exhibiting superior supercapacitive performance, including a high specific capacitance of 513 F·g⁻¹ and a maximum energy density of 15.9 Wh·kg⁻¹ in an asymmetric device.

Selective Targeting Through Chemical Remodeling of Protein Neosurfaces

This study presents a dynamic neosurface engineering strategy using a supramolecular peptide platform to chemically remodel the intrinsically disordered surface of aldose reductase (ALR2), creating a selective "NeoFunnel Interface" that enables high-affinity targeting and adaptive drug release while avoiding cross-reactivity with its homologous enzyme ALR1.

Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Graphene-Like Networks (3D-GLNs) for Strengthening Nickel-Based Composites

This study demonstrates that fabricating nickel-based composites reinforced with in-situ synthesized three-dimensional graphene-like networks via rapid thermal annealing and spark plasma sintering significantly enhances mechanical properties, achieving a 33.53% increase in yield strength and a 54.93% increase in ultimate tensile strength compared to pure nickel.

Two coordination polymers via one-pot synthesis and crystallization based on semirigid tripodal carboxylic acid

Two new three-dimensional cadmium coordination polymers were successfully synthesized via one-pot solvothermal reaction using a semirigid tripodal carboxylic acid and a flexible N-donor ligand, where the distinct trans and cis conformational configurations of the ligand dictate the formation of meso-helical chains and discrete ring structures, respectively.

History-Aware Text Representations for Polymer Property Prediction from Literature-Derived Records

This paper introduces Holistic History-aware Text (HHT), a framework that leverages natural language descriptions of polymer composition, synthesis, and processing via large language models to outperform traditional structure-only encoders in predicting macroscopic properties from heterogeneous literature-derived records.

Retrofitting Steam Cracking for Circular Olefins from Plastics-waste Naphtha

This study demonstrates that retrofitting existing steam-cracking infrastructure to process plastics-waste derived naphtha is economically viable and can reduce the minimum selling price of olefins by approximately 7.2% compared to conventional naphtha, provided specific feed compositions and geographic conditions are met.
