Curcumin inhibits the invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells by upregulating TFPI-2 to regulate ERK- and JNK-mediated epithelial–mesenchymal transition
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most deadly human malignancies. Curcumin is a natural polyphenolic compound with wide-ranging pharmacological effects. Growing evidence suggests that curcumin has anticance...

Excited-state intermediates in a designer protein encoding a phototrigger caught by an X-ray free-electron laser
One of the primary objectives in chemistry research is to observe atomic motions during reactions in real time. Although X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have facilitated the capture of reaction intermediate...

Cu-catalysed intramolecular radical enantioconvergent tertiary β-C(sp3)–H amination of racemic ketones
In contrast to the wealth of enantioselective prochiral C(sp3)–H functionalization that is transition-metal-catalysed, the enantioconvergent transformation of racemic tertiary C(sp3)–H bonds (pKa > 25) still repr...

Crystallization-driven self-assembly of isotactic polystyrene in N, N-dimethylformamide
Herein we demonstrate crystallization-driven self-assembly of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) with high isotacticity and narrow molecular weight distribution and crystallization-induced switching of the morphology of...
