End-to-end linked nanorod dimer nanogap antennas exhibit superior plasmonic enhancement compared to monomers due to the coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) of individual nanorods. However, controlling the assembly to stop at the dimer stage is challenging. Here, we report a pH-controlled synthesis of Au nanorod dimer nanogap antennas in an aqueous solution using 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT) as a linker.

We evaluated the feasibility of point-of-care EEG during ambulance transport for 911 calls.
Methods: This mixed-methods study was conducted between May 28, 2022 and October 28, 2023.
Article Synopsis
- - The study used constraint-based network modeling to analyze metabolic networks at a genomic scale, integrating RNA-seq data with epigenomic data from the EpiATLAS resource across 1,555 samples from 58 tissues and cell types.
- - The analysis identified both core metabolic processes essential for all cells and unique metabolic functions specific to certain cell types, helping to define the metabolic identity of different human cells and tissues.
- - By examining enhancer-gene interactions and gene-level chromatin states, the research revealed critical nodes and regulatory points that control metabolism, highlighting how certain pathways are repressed in inactive cell types.
Infantile pyknocytosis (IP) is a rare, probably misestimated, cause of non-immune neonatal hemolytic anemia evolving in two phases: an initial phase with severe jaundice, followed by a second phase with hemolytic anemia, which may require neonatal intensive care. The diagnosis of IP is based on the transient presence on blood smear of hyperdense, contracted, and/or spiculated red blood cells (pyknocytes), associated with the spontaneous resolution of clinico-biological features and the exclusion of other causes. If the etiology remains undetermined, some contributing factors, such as oxidative stress, have been proposed.
