Part I: Synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis. Part II: Synthetic studies towards the total synthesis of iriomoteolide-1a by Chin, Yen Jin

“…In the first part of this thesis, an elegant display of the CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition is established in the total synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis (SRRS-1). The key features of our strategy are: (I) one-pot DIBAL-H reduction–Wittig olefination, (II) olefin cross metathesis of fragment A and fragment B, and (III) a CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition using Grignard reagents in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities. …”

Using magnetic resonance relaxometry to evaluate the safety and quality of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived spinal cord progenitor cells by Tan, Jerome, Chen, Jiahui, Roxby, Daniel, Chooi, Wai H., Nguyen, Tan D., Ng, Shi Y., Han, Jongyoon, Chew, Sing Y.

“…Background The emergence of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offers a promising approach for replacing damaged neurons and glial cells, particularly in spinal cord injuries (SCI). Despite its merits, iPSC differentiation into spinal cord progenitor cells (SCPCs) is variable, necessitating reliable assessment of differentiation and validation of cell quality and safety. …”
