The importance of aryl sulfides in biologically active compounds has led chemists to develop methods to synthesize them from carbon-sulfur bond forming reactions. The conventional reaction, however, ...

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the toxic activity of many environmental xenobiotics. However, its role in innate immune responses during viral ...

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

Aryl halides*1) with a benzene ring directly bonded to a halogen atom are readily available and chemically stable, so they are used as a source of benzene rings in organic synthesis. For example, a ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Changes in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) are associated with atopic dermatitis. The efficacy of tapinarof, ...

In his outstanding lecture identifying drivers of lupus, presented at the 2025 meeting of the Medical Dermatology Society, Jaehyuk Choi, MD, PhD, explained that interferon -- the well-known nemesis of ...

Unactivated alkanes are difficult to functionalize, and most catalysts that derivatize them by opening hydrocarbon C–H bonds are based on precious transition metals. Researchers have now developed a ...

Researchers have produced the first “naked” aryl anion in solution—a carbanion not linked to counterions or stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Until now, many chemists believed such a species couldn’t ...

It would be highly advantageous to substitute aryl halides for the organometallic partner in addition to heteroarenes because it could dramatically increase the number and types of molecules that can ...

Aryl sulfide, an aromatic compound in which sulfur is attached to an aryl (a functional group derived from an aromatic ring), is found in biologically active materials effective against asthma, ...
