    Adenosine inhibits TNFα-induced MMP-3 production in MH7A rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes via A2A receptor signaling

    Adenosine causes the anti-inflammatory effect of MTX; however, the contributions of synoviocyte adenosine receptors (AdoRs) are unknown, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) is released by fibroblast-like sy...

    Unclassified four-repeat tauopathy associated with familial parkinsonism and progressive respiratory failure

    We describe an autopsied patient with familial parkinsonism and unclassified four repeat-tau (4R-tau) aggregation. She presented with bradykinesia, truncal dystonia, and mild amnesia at the age of 61 and then ...

    Thiophene and its sulfur inhibit indenoindenodibenzothiophene diradicals from low-energy lying thermal triplets

    Many qualitative structure–property correlations between diradical character and emerging molecular properties are known. For example, the increase of diradical character further decreases the singlet–triplet ...

    Diindeno-fusion of an anthracene as a design strategy for stable organic biradicals

    The consequence of unpaired electrons in organic molecules has fascinated and confounded chemists for over a century. The study of open-shell molecules has been rekindled in recent years as new synthetic metho...

    Diradical character dependence of third-harmonic generation spectra in open-shell singlet systems

    Using a two-site valence configuration interaction model, we reveal the diradical character (y) dependences of the third-harmonic generation (THG) spectra of singlet diradicaloids, which are described by the phot...
