Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), wherein A, A1, A2, A3, R3, Z and Z1 are as defined in the specification, and the salts and solvates thereof. The present disclosure also relates to uses of the compounds as cereblon (CRBN) ubiquitination inhibitors, as synthetic intermediates that can be used to prepare PROTAC molecules, or as PROTAC molecules. The present disclosure also relates to uses of the compounds, e.g., in treating or preventing cancer and other diseases.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for capturing, concentrating, isolating, and detecting molecules. In one aspect, a molecular probe device includes a molecular probe having a complimentary base pair region initially zipped and structured to include a binding agent to chemically attach the molecular probe to an outer surface of a magnetic bead, and a binding molecule to chemically attach the molecular probe to a substrate of a microfluidic device, in which the complimentary base pair region is configured to hybridize to a complementary nucleic acid sequence of a DNA or RNA molecule.
