Danhong Huayu Koufuye Prevents Diabetic Retinopathy in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats via Antioxidation and Anti-Inflammation by Wenpei Chen, Xiaolan Yao, Chenghao Zhou, Ziyang Zhang, Gang Gui, Baoqin Lin

“…Here, we investigated whether antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of DHK contributed to its therapeutic effect on DR in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats. DHK significantly blocked the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) and increased the thickness of the inner nuclear layer (INL), as well as suppressed the swelling of the ganglion cell layer (GCL) in diabetic retinas. …”

A stable open-shell peri-hexacene with remarkable diradical character by Jinji Zhang, Xiaojing Fang, Weiwei Niu, Yiming Yu, Yanlin Hu, Jiawen Sun, Ying Xu, Zhihua Zhou, Heyuan Liu, Xiaonan Fan, Baishu Zheng, Qing Jiang, Guangwu Li, Wangdong Zeng

“…Although the parent peri-hexacene is calculated to have a very large diradical character (y 0 = 94.5%), 1 shows reasonable stability (t 1/2 = 24 h under ambient conditions) due to the kinetic blocking. 1 exhibits an open-shell singlet ground state with a small singlet-triplet energy gap (−1.33 kcal/mol from SQUID measurements). 1 has also a narrow HOMO-LUMO energy gap (1.05 eV) and displays amphoteric redox behavior. …”

Self-assembly by anti-repellent structures for programming particles with momentum by Junghyun Bae, Jinsik Yoon, Sangmin Oh, Kibeom Kim, Hyeli Kim, Kahyun Hur, Hyesung Cho, Wook Park

“…Abstract Self-assembled configurations are versatile for applications in which liquid-mediated phenomena are employed to ensure that static or mild physical interactions between assembling blocks take advantage of local energy minima. For granular materials, however, a particle’s momentum in air leads to random collisions and the formation of disordered phases, eventually producing jammed configurations when densely packed. …”

The Role of PCNA Posttranslational Modifications in Translesion Synthesis by Montaser Shaheen, Ilanchezhian Shanmugam, Robert Hromas

“…Translesion synthesis is a special pathway that enables the replication fork to bypass blocking lesions. Proliferative Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), which is an essential component of the fork, undergoes posttranslational modifications, particularly ubiquitylation and sumoylation that are critical for lesion bypass and for filling of DNA gaps which result from this bypass. …”
