Abstract Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) is a promising approach to treating solid tumors, but therapeutic advances are impeded by the lack of broadly expressed targets and shared molecular vulnerability across different tumor types. Here, we evaluate VLA-4 (integrin α4β1) as potential target for RPT in tumors use radiolabeled copper-64 ([64Cu]Cu-) copper-67 ([67Cu]Cu-CB-TE1A1P-PEG4-LLP2A) LLP2A, peptidomimetic ligand VLA-4, preclinical imaging testing.

A bio-realistic artificial synapse integrated with a nanogenerator (NG), which can be used in neuromorphic systems, is demonstrated for self-powered biomedical devices this study. Biocompatible amorphous (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 (NKN) films are grown on TiN/polyimide substrates to synthesize NKN memristors use as synapses. Various synaptic functions realized memristors, driven by pulse generator and an NG. The plasticity of the memristor results from oxygen vacancy movements changes shape filaments....
An artificial synapse that can perform both learning and memory functions was realized using an amorphous Ta2O5 memristor. A Pt/Ta2O5/TiN memristor, with film grown at 100 °C, exhibited reliable bipolar switching properties the various conductance states required for applications; in addition, it transmission of physiological synapses. Various other synaptic were also obtained from memristor by modulating input bias. The metaplasticity a synapse, which is preliminary-spike-enhanced function,...
Most nanoparticles show much higher uptake in mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) organs than tumors, which has been a long-lasting dilemma nanomedicine. Here, we report an imaging strategy that selectively decreases MPS organ uptakes by utilizing the differential esterase activity tumors and other organs. When esterase-labile radiotracer loaded liposome was injected into body, radioactivity rapidly excreted from liver spleen after breakage of ester bond esterase. However, lipophilic...
Single-domain antibodies, or nanobodies (Nbs), are promising biomolecules for use in molecular imaging due to their excellent affinity, specificity, and fast clearance from the blood. Given short blood half-life, pairing Nbs with short-lived radioisotopes is desirable. Because fluorine-18 (18F) routinely used clinical imaging, it an attractive radioisotope Nbs. We report a novel sortase-based, site-specific 18F-labeling method applied three nanobodies. Labeled were synthesized either by...
Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has multifunctional roles as a gas signaling molecule in living systems. However, the efficient detection and imaging of H S live animals is very challenging. Herein, we report first radioisotope‐based immobilization technique for detection, quantification, vivo endogenous S. Macrocyclic 64 Cu complexes that instantly reacted with gaseous to form insoluble CuS highly sensitive selective manner were prepared. The concentration biological samples was measured...
The Pt/KNbO3/TiN/Si (KN) memristor exhibits various biological synaptic properties. However, it also displays nonlinear conductance modulation with the application of identical pulses, indicating that should be improved for neuromorphic applications. abrupt change originates from inhomogeneous growth/dissolution oxygen vacancy filaments in KN film. a film is controlled by two mechanisms different rates: redox process fast rate and an diffusion slow rate. Therefore, linearity can if only one...

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinomas and hepatoblastomas represents an important therapeutic target but the biologic importance of GPC3 liver cancer unclear. To date, there are limited data characterizing biological implications knockout (KO) cancers that intrinsically express this target. Here, we report on development characterization GPC3-KO cell lines compare to them parental lines. variants were established HepG2 Hep3B using a lentivirus-mediated CRISPR/Cas9...
Abstract Several chemical and enzymatic methods have been used to link antibodies moieties that facilitate visualization of cognate targets. Emerging evidence suggests the extent labeling, dictated by type chemistry used, has a substantial impact on performance, especially in context for tumors vivo. These effects are particularly pronounced studies using small antibody fragments, such as single‐domain antibodies, or nanobodies. Here, we leverage new variety conjugation chemistry, based...
