Of good report: Synthesis and screening of an 80‐member tricarbocyanine library identified CyNAMLA‐381 as a near‐IR surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) reporter with good signal stability and higher sensitivity than the standard. Encapsulation of CyNAMLA‐381 on gold nanoparticles and conjugation to an antibody afforded SERS nanotags with excellent sensitivity, stability, and tumor specificity in xenograft models (see picture).

An artificial ionic mechanotransducer skin with an unprecedented sensitivity over a wide spectrum of pressure by fabricating visco-poroelastic nanochannels and microstructured features, directly mimicking the physiological tactile sensing mechanism of Piezo2 protein is demonstrated. This capability enables voice identification, health monitoring, daily pressure measurements, and even measurements of a heavy weight beyond capabilities of human skin.

Abstract. We give symmetric characterizations, with respect to the Fourier transformation, of the Gelfand-Shilov spaces of (generalized) type S and type W . These results explain more clearly the invariance of these spaces under the Fourier transformations.

Zuverlässige Berichterstattung: Das Screening einer 80‐teiligen Tricarbocyanin‐Bibliothek lieferte CyNAMLA‐381 als Nahinfrarot‐SERS‐Reporter mit guter Signalstabilität und höherer Empfindlichkeit als der Standard (SERS=oberflächenverstärkte Raman‐Spektroskopie). Durch Verkapselung von CyNAMLA‐381 an der Oberfläche von Gold‐Nanopartikeln und Konjugation mit Antikörpern wurden SERS‐Nanomarker mit ausgezeichneter Empfindlichkeit, Stabilität und Tumorspezifität in Xenograft‐Modellen erhalten (siehe Bild).

The diversification of the BODIPY scaffold has been hindered by its controversial adaptability to solid-phase chemistry. Herein we report the first solid-phase synthesis of a BODIPY library in high purities. We screened the library against a set of proteins, identified an immunoglobulin fluorescent sensor (Ig Orange) and confirmed its binding by SPR experiments.
