Endothelial caveolae are essential for a wide range of physiological processes and have emerged as key players in vascular biology. Our understanding of caveolar biology in endothelial cells has expanded dramatically since their discovery revealing critical roles in mechanosensation, signal transduction, eNOS regulation, lymphatic transport, and me...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of surface treatment chemicals falling under non-polymeric and polymeric categories. Polymeric PFAS are comprised of fluoropolymers, perfluoropolyethers and side-chain fluorinated polymers (SCFPs). Fluorinated polymers and polymeric substances have gained a significant market due to the...

Medical waste has increased in the past 3 years as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This condition is expected to exacerbate due to the growing healthcare markets and aging population, posing health threats to the public via environmental footprints. To alleviate these impacts, there is an urgent need for medical waste ...

The direct functionalization of C-H bonds constitutes a powerful strategy to construct and diversify organic molecules. However, controlling the chemo- and site-selectivity of this transformation in particularly complex molecular settings represents a significant challenge. Metalloenzymes are ideal platforms for achieving catalyst-controlled select...

Recently, an increased interest toward enzymatic carboligation was observed, as biocatalytic carbon–carbon bond formation is a common obstacle in retrosynthetic planning. The construction of extended 2-oxoacid frameworks by 2-oxoacid aldolases and enzymes acting as aldolases is a potent tool for synthetic chemists since a broad spectrum of downstre...

Food waste reduction is fundamental for sustainable development and pursuing this goal, recycling and the valorization of used cooking oil (UCO) can play a major contribution. Although it has been traditionally used for biofuel production, the oleochemical potential of UCOs is vast. UCOs can be used as feedstock for a large variety of value-added g...
