Abstract Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are effective vehicles to deliver mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. It has been challenging assess packaging characteristics in LNPs, including payload distribution capacity, which critical understanding structure-property-function relationships for further carrier development. Here, we report a method based on the multi-laser cylindrical illumination confocal spectroscopy (CICS) technique examine lipid contents LNP formulations at single-nanoparticle level....
A novel organic field effect transistor (OFET)‐based biosensor is described for label‐free glial fibrillary acidic protein detection. This study reports the first use of an extended solution gate structure where sensing area and semiconductor are separated, a reference electrode not needed. Different molecular weight polyethylene glycols (PEGs) mixed into bioreceptor layer to help extend Debye screening length. The drain current change significantly increased with higher PEGs, as they known...
tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) from spermatozoa could act as acquired epigenetic factors and contribute to offspring phenotypes. However, the roles of specific tsRNAs in early embryo development remain be elucidated. Here, using pigs a research model, we probed tsRNA dynamics during spermatogenesis sperm maturation demonstrated delivery semen-derived exosomes spermatozoa. By microinjection antisense sequences into vitro fertilized oocytes subsequent single-cell RNA-seq embryos, identified...
Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat that if left unchecked could lead to 10 million annual mortalities by 2050. One factor contributing the rise of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens reliance on traditional culture-based pathogen identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) typically takes several days. This delay objective ID AST information inform clinical decision making results in clinicians treating patients empirically often using first-line,...
Abstract Sanguinarine, a bioactive benzophenanthridine alkaloid extracted from plants of the Papaveraceae family, has shown antitumour effects in multiple cancer cells. But therapeutic and regulatory mechanisms sanguinatine gastric (GC) remain elusive. This study was aimed to investigate correlation dual‐specificity phosphatase 4 (DUSP4) expression with clinicopathologic features overall survival patients GC explore sanguinarine on tumour growth invasion cells (SGC‐7901 HGC‐27) underlying...
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most fatal cancers with common features invasion and metastasis. Recent evidence indicate that long noncoding RNA NORAD a potential oncogene significantly upregulated in several cancers. However, general biological role clinical value HCC remains unknown. Here, expression was measured 29 paired tumor paratumor tissues via quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The effects on cell malignant were investigated...
The global threat of antibiotic resistance underscores critical but unmet needs for rapid susceptibility testing (AST) technologies. To this end, droplet microfluidic-based single-cell AST offers promise by achieving unprecedented rapidity, its potential clinical use is marred the capacity one to few conditions per device, which falls short from required scale in clinically relevant scenarios. lift scalability constraint technologies, a new cascaded microfluidic platform that can streamline...
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a life-threatening condition that currently lacks an effective therapeutic strategy. Phenotypic switching in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation are considered to be among the causes of TAA development. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) gut microbial metabolite has been associated with increased risk cardiovascular diseases. However, its general association remains unclear. Therefore, present study aimed assess...
PRV is a critical pathogen threatening the global swine industry. Our research fills knowledge gaps regarding prevalence, infection risk factors, spatial-temporal clustering of high gE seroprevalence, and epidemic trend seroprevalence in China recent years. These findings are valuable for clinical prevention control suggest that likely to be successfully controlled China.
Abstract Organic field‐effect transistor (OFET)‐based biosensors with antibody receptors are widely considered for protein antigen detection. To the authors' knowledge, there no comparative evaluations to date of different choices matrix polymer which antibodies attached.

Stability against washing steps capacity immobilizing on polymers device surfaces help...
Abstract Droplet microfluidic technology is becoming increasingly useful for high-throughput and high-sensitivity detection of biological biochemical reactions. Most current droplet devices function by passively discretizing a single sample subject to homogeneous or random reagent/reaction condition into tens thousands picoliter-volume droplets analysis. Despite their apparent advantages in speed throughput, these inherently lack the capability customize contents order test against multiple...
