The pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain largely unknown and clinical trials have not demonstrated significant benefit. Biochemical characterization AD its prodromal phase may provide new diagnostic therapeutic insights. We used targeted metabolomics platform to profile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from (n=40), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n=36) control (n=38) subjects; univariate multivariate analyses define between-group differences; partial least square-discriminant...
Nanosized gas sensor elements are potentially faster, require lower power, come with a limit of detection, operate at temperatures, obviate the need for expensive catalysts, more heat shock resistant and might even cost than their macro-counterparts. In last two decades, there have been important developments in key areas that make this promise reality. First is development variety very good performing nanostructured metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs), most commonly used materials sensing;...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the baseline metabolic profile (that is, metabotype) a patient with major depressive disorder (MDD) would define how an individual will respond treatment. Outpatients MDD were randomly assigned sertraline (up 150 mg per day) (N=43) or placebo (N=46) in double-blind 4-week trial. Baseline serum samples profiled using liquid chromatography electrochemical array; output digitized create 'digital map' entire measurable response for particular...
Abstract Thermochemical decomposition of organic materials under heat-treatment in the absence oxygen, known as pyrolysis process, is often employed to convert micro and nano patterned polymers into carbon structures, which are subsequently used device components. Pyrolysis performed at ≥900 °C, entails substrate with a high thermal stability that excludes flexible, polymeric substrates. We use optimized laser radiation pattern graphitic structures onto commercially available polyimide...
Glassy carbon is a graphene-rich form of elemental obtained from pyrolysis polymers, which composed three-dimensionally arranged, curved graphene fragments alongside fractions disordered and voids. Pyrolysis encompasses gradual heating polymers at ≥ 900 °C under inert atmosphere, followed by cooling to room temperature. Here we report on an experimental method perform in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) for the direct visualization microstructural evolution...
Therapeutic response to selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) varies considerably among patients, and the onset of antidepressant therapeutic action is delayed until after 2 4 weeks treatment. The objective this study was analyze changes within methoxyindole kynurenine (KYN) branches tryptophan pathway determine whether differential regulation these may contribute mechanism variation Metabolomics approach used characterize early biochemical...
Abstract Endothelial cells express neuropilin 1 (NRP1), endoglin (ENG) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), which regulate VEGF-A-mediated development angiogenesis. However, the link between complex formation among these receptors with VEGF-A-induced signaling biology is yet unclear. Here, we quantify surface interactions by IgG-mediated immobilization of one receptor, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) measurements mobility another coexpressed receptor....
Single suspended carbon nanowires (CNWs) integrated on carbon-MEMS (CMEMS) structures are fabricated by electrospinning of SU-8 photoresist followed pyrolysis. These monolithic CNW-CMEMS enable fabrication very high aspect ratio CNWs predefined length. The thus display core–shell having a graphitic shell with glassy core. electrical conductivity these is increased about 100% compared to as result enhanced graphitization. We suggest some tunable and pyrolysis parameters that may improve...
In this contribution we report on results from an optimization study of SU-8 photoresist derived carbon electrodes. tends to be glassy in nature, however, based the exact pyrolysis strategy and other fabrication parameters employed one can obtain a range electrical, electrochemical thermal properties related variation graphitic content thus obtained carbon. Hence, order electrodes that emulate or improve upon performance commercially available (GC) electrodes, right choice conditions, such...
Abstract Background A critical and as-yet unmet need in Alzheimer disease (AD) research is the development of novel markers that can identify individuals at risk for cognitive decline due to AD.

3D direct laser writing based on two-photon polymerization is considered as a tool to fabricate tailored probes for atomic force microscopy. Tips with radii of 25 nm and arbitrary shape are attached conventionally shaped micro-machined cantilevers. Long-term scanning measurements reveal low wear rates demonstrate the reliability such tips. Furthermore, we show that resonance spectrum probe can be tuned multi-frequency applications by adding rebar structures cantilever.
