TL;DR: A tailored strategy to harness the excited-state planarization of N,N'-disubstituted dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines by halting the structural evolution via a macrocyclization process is exploited, showing the brightening prospect of these chemically locked DPAC-n in both fundamental studies and applications.

TL;DR: A tryptophan analogue is presented that exhibits remarkable water catalysed proton-transfer properties and provides unique fingerprints that can be exploited for direct sensing of a site-specific water environment in a protein without disrupting its native structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, green InP quantum dots are prepared and incorporated into a QLED so to promote hole transport and reduce electron mobility, resulting in a maximum quantum efficiency of 16.3 %.

TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that the growth inhibition discrepancy between H460 and A549 following flavonoid treatment can be attributed to the lack of cell cycle arrest in H460 cells and the differences between H 460 and A550 cells may serve as contrasting models for further mechanistic investigations.

TL;DR: Saponin fraction, which consisted mainly of gypenoside (Gyp) XXII and XXIII, rather than the carotenoid and chlorophyll ones, was effective in inhibiting A549 cell growth in a concentration‐ and a time‐dependent manner, and the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of A549 cells induced by Gyp would most likely proceed through p53‐independent pathway(s).
