Gold nanorods (GNRs) as plasmonic metal nanoparticles are valuable for optical applications due to their tunable plasmonic properties. However, conventional colloidal GNRs face significant optical instability during storage, which limits their practical use. In this work, we developed a highly dispersible GNR powder using an octadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted freeze-drying method, preserving the optical and chemical sensing properties of GNRs for over 4 months.

Auxetic foams with a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) have attracted considerable attention in material engineering due to their outstanding performance in seismic and energy absorption. Nevertheless, thermoplastic auxetic foams are compromised by weak non-covalent crosslinking that diminishes the mechanical strength and durability of foams. Conversely, thermosetting foams with chemical crosslinking, although mechanically robust, face challenges in elaborating auxetic structure and in achieving recyclability.

Optimizing the structure and tuning the optical properties in low-dimensional organic-inorganic halide perovskites are crucial to practical applications for stable solid-state lighting. Herein, we performed high-pressure investigations on one-dimensional (1D) postperovskite (TDMP)PbBr (TDMP = -2,5-dimethylpiperaziniium), and structure and optical properties under pressure are studied. (TDMP)PbBr exhibits color tunable emission from cool white light to yellow orange as the pressure increases from atmospheric pressure to 20.

DEAD-box helicase 17 (DDX17) is a typical member of the DEAD-box family with transcriptional cofactor activity. Although DDX17 is abundantly expressed in the myocardium, its role in heart is not fully understood. We generated cardiomyocyte-specific Ddx17-knockout mice (Ddx17-cKO), cardiomyocyte-specific Ddx17 transgenic mice (Ddx17-Tg), and various models of cardiomyocyte injury and heart failure (HF).

An increasing body of research has demonstrated the significant role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of stroke. They can actively contribute to the disease's progression either by directly participating in its pathogenesis or by acting as mediators through competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanisms. Concurrently, epigenetics plays a pivotal role in the pathological mechanisms underlying stroke.

Single-cell whole-genome sequencing methods have undergone great improvements over the past decade. However, allele dropout, which means the inability to detect both alleles simultaneously in an individual diploid cell, largely restricts the application of these methods particularly for medical applications. Here, we develop a new single-cell whole-genome sequencing method based on third-generation sequencing (TGS) platform named Refresh-seq (restriction fragment ligation-based genome amplification and TGS).

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly heterogeneous cancer and exploring novel therapeutic options is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Here, we established human CRC tumor-derived organoids that well represent both morphological and molecular heterogeneities of original tumors. To efficiently identify repurposed drugs for CRC, we developed a robust organoid-based drug screening system.

Gastric cancers are highly heterogeneous malignant tumors. To reveal the relationship between differentiation status of cancer cells and tumor immune microenvironments in gastric cancer, single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on normal mucosa tissue, differentiated gastric cancer (DGC) tissue, poorly differentiated gastric cancer (PDGC) tissue and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) tissue sampled from surgically resected gastric cancer specimens. We identified the signature genes for both DGC and PDGC, and found that signature genes of PDGC strongly enriched in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program.

In this study, a method for preparing low molecular weight peptides (HPH-VAP) from okara using high-pressure homogenization assisted double enzymes was proposed. In order to explore its advantages, the effects of various methods on protein extraction rate and on the structure, antioxidant and immune properties of peptides were compared. The results showed that the protein extraction rate of this method was increased by 69% and 51% compared with other methods, and the structure only led to changes in the hydrogen bonds between peptide chains.

DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression represent different levels information in biological process, but a comprehensive multiomics analysis of the mammalian heart is lacking. Here, we applied nucleosome occupancy and methylome sequencing, which detected DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility simultaneously, as well as RNA-seq, for multiomics analysis of the 4 chambers of adult and fetal human hearts, and adult mouse hearts. Our results showed conserved region-specific patterns in the mammalian heart at transcriptome and DNA methylation level.

Naive pluripotency can be maintained in medium with two inhibitors plus leukemia inhibitory factor (2i/LIF) supplementation, which primarily affects canonical WNT, FGF/ERK, and JAK/STAT3 signaling. However, whether one of these three supplements alone is sufficient to maintain naive self-renewal remains unclear. Here we show that LIF alone in medium is sufficient for adaptation of 2i/L-ESCs to embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in a hypermethylated state (L-ESCs).

Inhibitors of Mek1/2 and Gsk3β, known as 2i, and, together with leukemia inhibitory factor, enhance the derivation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and promote ground-state pluripotency (2i/L-ESCs). However, recent reports show that prolonged Mek1/2 suppression impairs developmental potential of ESCs, and is rescued by serum (S/L-ESCs). Here, we show that culturing ESCs in Activin A and BMP4, and in the absence of MEK1/2 inhibitor (ABC/L medium), establishes advanced stem cells derived from ESCs (esASCs).

DNA methylation, chromatin states and their interrelationships represent critical epigenetic information, but these are largely unknown in human early embryos. Here, we apply single-cell chromatin overall omic-scale landscape sequencing (scCOOL-seq) to generate a genome-wide map of DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution during human preimplantation development. Unlike in mice, the chromatin of the paternal genome is already more open than that of the maternal genome at the mid-zygote stage in humans, and this state is maintained until the 4-cell stage.
