Sulfonic acid-functionalised zeolites for fructose dehydration into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by Huaizhong Xiang, Yao Zhang, Xin Zhong, Boji Wang, Charalampos Drivas, Mark A Isaacs, Aina Syahida Jamal, Zhipeng Qie, Qiang Zhang, Shaojun Xu, Jesús Esteban, Christopher M A Parlett, Xiaolei Fan

“…Optimal results were achieved under microwave irradiation in a biphasic medium, achieving an HMF selectivity of ∼73% at fructose conversion of ∼88% in just 5 min at 170 °C, emphasising energy efficiency and catalyst accessibility. The best catalyst modifications lead to a reduction in the activation energy of fructose conversion by approximately 35% relative to the uncatalysed process, in conjunction with significant improvements in process sustainability, which align with the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), and Climate Action (SDG 13).…”

A Versatile Reporter Platform for Evaluating HDR- and NHEJ-Based Genome Editing in Airway Epithelial Cell Cultures Using an rAAV Vector by Soo Yeun Park, Zehua Feng, Xiujuan Zhang, Yinghua Tang, Donovan Richart, Kai E. Vorhies, Jianming Qiu, John F. Engelhardt, Ziying Yan

“…Therapeutic gene editing strategies utilize endogenous DNA repair pathways—nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR)—to introduce targeted genomic modifications. Because HDR is restricted to dividing cells, whereas NHEJ functions in both dividing and non-dividing cells, NHEJ-based approaches are better suited for in vivo gene editing in the largely post-mitotic airway epithelium. …”

Nucleosome landscape reflects phenotypic differences in Trypanosoma cruzi life forms. by Alex R J Lima, Christiane B de Araujo, Saloe Bispo, José Patané, Ariel M Silber, M Carolina Elias, Julia P C da Cunha

“…Trypanosoma cruzi alternates between replicative and nonreplicative life forms, accompanied by a shift in global transcription levels and by changes in the nuclear architecture, the chromatin proteome and histone posttranslational modifications. To gain further insights into the epigenetic regulation that accompanies life form changes, we performed genome-wide high-resolution nucleosome mapping using two T. cruzi life forms (epimastigotes and cellular trypomastigotes). …”
