Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Associations Between Metal Mixtures and Serum C3, C4: Result from the Manganese ‑exposed Workers Healthy Cohort
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 16. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04143-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExposure to metal mixtures compromises the immune system, with the complement system connecting innate and adaptive immunity. Herein, we sought to explore the relationships between blood cell metal mixtures and the third and fourth components of serum complement (C3, C4). A total of 538 participants were recruited in November 2017, and 289 participants were followed up in November 2021. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis at baseline and a longitudinal analysis over 4 years. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (...

STING-activating cyclic dinucleotide-manganese nanoparticles evoke robust immunity against acute myeloid leukemia
J Control Release. 2024 Mar 14:S0168-3659(24)00174-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.03.022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults with a 5-year survival rate of 30.5%. These poor patient outcomes are attributed to tumor relapse, stemming from ineffective innate immune activation, T cell tolerance, and a lack of immunological memory. Thus, new strategies are needed to activate innate and effector immune cells and evoke long-term immunity against AML. One approach to address these issues is through Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) pathway activati...

Manganese(I)-Catalyzed Enantioselective C(sp2)-C(sp3) Bond-Forming for the Synthesis of Skipped Dienes with Synergistic Aminocatalysis
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Mar 15:e202400177. doi: 10.1002/anie.202400177. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMn(I)-catalyzed enantioselective C-C bond-forming reactions represent a great challenge in homogeneous catalysis primarily due to a limited understanding of its mechanistic principles. Herein, we have developed an interesting catalytic strategy that leverages a synergistic combination of a dimeric manganese(I) catalyst and a chiral aminocatalyst to address this issue. A range of conjugated dienals and trienals can exclusively proceed 1,4-hydroalkenylation by using readily available aromatic and aliphatic alkenyl boron...

A Spatial Signal of Niche Differentiation in Tropical Forests
Am Nat. 2024 Apr;203(4):445-457. doi: 10.1086/729218. Epub 2024 Feb 9.ABSTRACTAbstractExplaining diversity in tropical forests remains a challenge in community ecology. Theory tells us that species differences can stabilize communities by reducing competition, while species similarities can promote diversity by reducing fitness differences and thus prolonging the time to competitive exclusion. Combined, these processes may lead to clustering of species such that species are niche differentiated across clusters and share a niche within each cluster. Here, we characterize this partial niche differentiation in a tropical fore...
