Electromagnetic Field-Assisted Frozen Tissue Planarization Enhances MALDI-MSI in Plant Spatial Omics.

Plant samples with irregular morphology are challenging for longitudinal tissue sectioning. This has restricted the ability to gain insight into some plants using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). Herein, we develop a novel technique termed electromagnetic field-assisted frozen tissue planarization (EMFAFTP).

ACC SYNTHASE4 inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis and FLOWERING LOCUS T expression during citrus flowering.

Flowering is an essential process in fruit trees. Flower number and timing have a substantial impact on the yield and maturity of fruit. Ethylene and gibberellin (GA) play vital roles in flowering, but the mechanism of coordinated regulation of flowering in woody plants by GA and ethylene is still unclear.

Tissue-specific toxic effects of nano-copper on zebrafish.

Understanding the behavior and potential toxicity of copper nanoparticles (nano-Cu) in the aquatic environment is a primary way to assess their environmental risks. In this study, RNA-seq was performed on three different tissues (gills, intestines, and muscles) of zebrafish exposed to nano-Cu, to explore the potential toxic mechanism of nano-Cu on zebrafish. The results indicated that the toxic mechanism of nano-Cu on zebrafish was tissue-specific.

High Thermoelectric Performance in Cu-Doped BiTeSe Due to Cl Doping and Multiscale AgBiSe.

The thermoelectric performance of n-type BiTe needs further enhancement to match that of its p-type BiTe counterpart and should be considered for competitive applications. Combining Cu/Cl and multiscale additives (AgBiSe) presents a suitable route for such enhancement. This is evidence of the enhanced thermoelectric performance of BiCuTeSeCl.

Significant Enhancement of Thermoelectric Performance in Bi Sb Te Thin Film via Ferroelectric Polarization Engineering.

The Bi Sb Te (BST) thin film shows great promise in harvesting low-grade heat energy due to its excellent thermoelectric performance at room temperature. In order to further enhance its thermoelectric performance, specifically the power factor and output power, new approaches are highly desirable beyond the common "composition-structure-performance" paradigm. This study introduces ferroelectric polarization engineering as a novel strategy to achieve these goals.

Insights from multi-omics integration into seed germination of Taxus chinensis var mairei.

The transition from deep dormancy to seed germination is essential for the life cycle of plants, but how this process occurs in the gymnosperm Chinese yew (Taxus chinensis var mairei), the natural source of the anticancer drug paclitaxel, remains unclear. Herein, we analyse the transcriptome, proteome, spatial metabolome, and spatial lipidome of the Chinese yew and present the multi-omics profiles of dormant and germinating seeds. Our results show that abscisic acid and gibberellic acid 12 homoeostasis is closely associated with gene transcription and protein translation, and the balance between these phytohormones thereby determines if seeds remain dormant or germinate.

High-throughput MALDI-MSI metabolite analysis of plant tissue microarrays.

Evaluation of Satisfaction with the Built Environment of University Buildings under the Epidemic and Its Impact on Student Anxiety.

Anxiety on college campuses has increased due to the COVID-19 epidemic's profound effects on society. Much research has been conducted on how the built environment influences mental health; however, little has been undertaken on how it affects student mental health in the context of the epidemic from the architectural scale perspective of academic buildings. Based on online survey data, this study develops multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression models to investigate students' satisfaction ratings of the academic buildings' physical environments during the epidemic and how these satisfaction ratings affect students' anxiety tendencies.

Expression and role of cystatin C in hyperthermia-induced brain injury in rats.

Cystatin C, the full name of cystatin C, is one of the most potent cathepsin inhibitors currently known, which can strongly inhibit cathepsin in lysosomes and regulate the level of intracellular proteolysis. Cystatin C plays a very broad role in the body. High temperature-induced brain injury leads to very serious damage to brain tissue, such as cell inactivation, brain tissue edema, etc.

Copper adhesive tape attached to the reverse side of a non-conductive glass slide to achieve protein MALDI-imaging in FFPE-tissue sections.

Herein, copper adhesive tape attached to the reverse side of a glass slide was developed as a new method to achieve protein detection and imaging in a formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue section on a non-conductive glass slide by MALDI-MSI. The use of this new method led to 223 protein ions being imaged from a rat brain FFPE-tissue section on a non-conductive glass slide by MALDI-MS, compared to only 145 and 163 protein ions detected on an ITO glass slide and an AnchorChip target plate, respectively. This new method has great potential to become standard practice for protein MALDI-imaging in FFPE-tissue sections on non-conductive glass slides.

A Caffeic Acid Matrix Improves Detection and Imaging of Proteins with High Molecular Weight Close to 200,000 Da in Tissues by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

To our knowledge, this was the first study in which caffeic acid (CA) was successfully evaluated as a matrix to enhance the detection and imaging of endogenous proteins in three biological tissue sections (, a rat brain and and germinating soybean seeds) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI).

An Onsite Calibration Method for MEMS-IMU in Building Mapping Fields.

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is one of the popular technologies to acquire critical information for building information modelling. To allow an automatic acquirement of building information, the first and most important step of LiDAR technology is to accurately determine the important gesture information that micro electromechanical (MEMS) based inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors can provide from the moving robot. However, during the practical building mapping, serious errors may happen due to the inappropriate installation of a MEMS-IMU.
