A Unified Approach to Meta-Selective Methylation, Mono-, Di- and Trifluoromethylation of Arenes Matched molecular series (MMS) are series of molecules that differ only by a single modification at a specific site. The synthesis of MMS is a desirable strategy in drug discovery campaigns.

A Customizable 32P Hydrogel Applicator for Brachytherapy of Skin Hemangioma Based on Machine Learning and 3D-Printing Skin hemangioma is a tumor originating from skin blood vessels, which often occurs in infants and children. Brachytherapy with the 32P-based radionuclide applicator is an effective non-invasive therapeutic method. However, the inordinance of lesions is still the main challenge for precise local treatment and radiation protection of normal skins.

Expanding the binding space of argonaute-2: incorporation of either E or Z isomers of 6′-vinylphosphonate at the 5′ end of the antisense strand improves RNAi activity† A phosphate or a phosphate mimic at the 5′ terminus of the antisense strand of a small interfering RNA (siRNA) is required for efficient loading into the RISC complex through the MID domain binding pocket of Ago2.

Synthesis of Heteropnictogen Ligands via PI Transfer The heterodipnictogen complexes [{CpMo(CO)2}2(µ,η2:2-PE)] (E = P, As, Sb) react with the phosphorus(I) transfer reagent [(BZIMPY)P][CF3SO3] (BZIMPY = 2,6-bis(benzimidazole-2-yl)pyridine) in a transmetallation reaction forming the unprecedented [CpMo(CO)2(η3-P2E)] complexes.
