Physiological function of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) is crucial for several cellular processes, including regulation of transcription, RNA splicing, transcription termination and polyadenylation. #link# It is well documented by now that CDK12 controls transcription of the unique set of genes involved in DNA-damage response, replication of DNA and response to cellular stress. Just recently, a key function of CDK12 in the induction of tandem duplication of specific DNA sequences within the metastatic castrate resistant prostate tumors has been documented. Therefore, it is possible to recognize CDK12 as a tumor suppressor; nevertheless, there is a growing body of evidence that CDK12 can support tumor growth under specific circumstances and thus act as a tumor oncogene. Tolinapant represents an alternative dia-gnostic approach for breast, ovarian and prostate tumors, especially when conventional treatment is not active and there is a need for more effective approaches, such as concept of synthetic lethalit the end of the article, we discuss the potential use of CDK12 in the treatment of specific tumors by its targeted inhibition in monotherapy or in combination with poly (ADP ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) inhibitors. The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The currently valid revised WHO 2016 classification of CNS tumours introduced the concept of integrated dia-gnostics, which incorporated not only histopathological morphological finding and immunophenotype but also molecular-genetic characteristics of the tumour. Thus, the final integrated dia-gnosis comprises the traditional morphological and growth pattern characteristics of a tumour including histopathological grade and also specific molecular bio-markers. The classification of tumour based on a combination of both tumour phenotype and genotype enables more precise prognostic stratification, increases the objectivity of dia-gnostics and prediction of response to treatment. In 2017, an international platform, The Consortium to Inform Molecular and Practical Approaches to CNS Tumor Taxonomy - not official WHO (cIMPACT-NOW), was established to create and formulate practicat the ICMJE recommendation for biomedical papers.Raman spectroscopy was used to establish direct evidence of heterometallic metal centers in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The Cu3(BTC)2 MOF HKUST-1 (BTC3- = benzenetricarboxylate) was transmetalated by heating it in a solution of RhCl3 to substitute Rh2+ ions for Cu2+ ions in the dinuclear paddlewheel nodes of the framework. In addition to the Cu-Cu and Rh-Rh stretching modes, Raman spectra of (Cu x Rh1-x)3(BTC)2 show the Cu-Rh stretching mode, indicating that mixed-metal Cu-Rh nodes are formed after transmetalation. Density functional theory studies confirmed the assignment of a Raman peak at 285 cm-1 to the Cu-Rh stretching vibration. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments further supported the conclusion that Rh2+ ions are substituted into the paddlewheel nodes of Cu3(BTC)2 to form an isostructural heterometallic MOF, and electron microscopy studies showed that Rh and Cu are homogeneously distributed in (Cu x Rh1-x)3(BTC)2 on the nanoscale.Noncovalent interactions (NCIs) have been identified as important contributing factors for determining selectivity in organic transformations. However, cases where NCIs between solvents and substrates are responsible for a major extent for determining selectivity are rare. The current computational study with density functional theory identifies two important transformations where this is the case the intramolecular carbonyl-ene reaction and the Staudinger [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. In both cases, the role of explicit solvent molecules interacting noncovalently with the substrate has been taken into account. Calculations indicate that the diastereomeric ratio would be 95.05.0 for the formation of tricyclic tetrahydrofuran diastereomers via the intramolecular carbonyl-ene reaction and 94.06.0 for the formation of the triflone diastereomers via the Staudinger [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, which corroborates with the experiment. Interestingly, in both the cases, the calculations indicate that noninclusion of explicit solvent molecules would lead to only a small difference between the competing transition states, which leads to the conclusion that solvent-substrate NCIs are the major cause for diastereoselectivity in both the cases considered.The synthesis of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) that contain site-specifically substituted backbone heteroatoms is one of the essential goals that must be achieved in order to control the electronic properties of these next generation organic materials. We have exploited our recently reported solid-state topochemical polymerization/cyclization-aromatization strategy to convert the simple 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)butadiynes 3a,b into the fjord-edge nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbon structures 1a,b (fjord-edge N2[8]GNRs). Structural assignments are confirmed by CP/MAS 13C NMR, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy. The fjord-edge N2[8]GNRs 1a,b are promising precursors for the novel backbone nitrogen-substituted N2[8]AGNRs 2a,b. Geometry and band calculations on N2[8]AGNR 2c indicate that this class of nanoribbons should have unusual bonding topology and metallicity.Acoustofluidics have been widely used for particle and cell manipulations. Given the scaling of acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming flow velocities with increasing frequency, existing acoustofluidic manipulation of submicron particles require actuation at MHz and even GHz frequencies. In this work, we explore a novel acoustofluidic phenomenon, where an ultralow frequency (800 Hz) acoustic vibration is capable of concentrating and patterning submicron particles at two poles of each pillar in an array embedded in a microfluidic device. This unprecedented phenomenon is attributed to a collective effect of acoustic streaming induced drag force and non-Newtonian fluid induced elastic lift force, arising from symmetric acoustic microstreaming flows around each pillar uniformly across the entire pillar array. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that particles can be manipulated by an acoustic wave with a wavelength that is 6 orders of magnitude larger than the particle size. This ultralow frequency acoustofluidics will enable a simple and cost-effective solution to effective and uniform manipulation of submicron biological particles in large scales, which has the potential to be widely exploited in clinical and biomedical fields.
