Optimal bilayer composites for temperature-tracking wireless electronics.

Modern silicone-based epidermal electronics engineered for body temperature sensing represent a pivotal development in the quest for advancing preventive medicine and enhancing post-surgical monitoring. While these compact and highly flexible electronics empower real-time monitoring in dynamic environments, a noteworthy limitation is the challenge in regulating the infiltration or obstruction of heat from the external environment into the surface layers of these electronics. The study presents a cost-effective temperature sensing solution by embedding wireless electronics in a multi-layered elastomeric composite to meet the dual needs of enhanced thermal insulation for encapsulation in contact with air and improved thermal conductivity for the substrate in contact with the skin.

and negatively regulate the sugar metabolism of Mill.

Hexokinase (HXK) plays a crucial role in plants, catalyzing the phosphorylation of hexose substances, which is one of the key steps in sugar metabolism and energy production. While genes have been well-studied in model plants, the evolutionary and functional characteristics of HXK gene family in jujube is unknow. In this study, the gene family members were identified by bioinformatics methods, the key members regulating glucose metabolism were identified by transcriptome data, and finally the function of the key genes was verified by instantaneous and stable genetic transformation.

Advances in surface-modified nanometal-organic frameworks for drug delivery.

Nanometal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) are porous network structures composed of metal ions or metal clusters through self-assembly. NMOFs have been considered as a promising nano-drug delivery system due to their unique properties such as pore and flexible structures, large specific surface areas, surface modifiability, non-toxic and degradable properties. However, NMOFs face a series complex environment during in vivo delivery.
