Highly Sensitive Multiplexed Sensing of miRNAs in a Gastric Cancer Patient's Liquid Biopsy.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in the world. Most patients are in the advanced stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis because the symptoms of early gastric cancer patients are not obvious. Early diagnosis of gastric cancer is still challenging due to the high cost, invasiveness, and low accuracy of traditional diagnostic methods such as endoscopy and biopsy.

Vanadium Redox Flow Battery: Review and Perspective of 3D Electrodes.

Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has garnered significant attention due to its potential for facilitating the cost-effective utilization of renewable energy and large-scale power storage. However, the limited electrochemical activity of the electrode in vanadium redox reactions poses a challenge in achieving a high-performance VRFB. Consequently, there is a pressing need to assess advancements in electrodes to inspire innovative approaches for enhancing electrode structure and composition.

Cellular nucleus image-based smarter microscope system for single cell analysis.

Cell imaging technology is undoubtedly a powerful tool for studying single-cell heterogeneity due to its non-invasive and visual advantages. It covers microscope hardware, software, and image analysis techniques, which are hindered by low throughput owing to abundant hands-on time and expertise. Herein, a cellular nucleus image-based smarter microscope system for single-cell analysis is reported to achieve high-throughput analysis and high-content detection of cells.

Mitophagy Regulates Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Mitochondria play an essential role in supplying energy for the health and survival of neurons. Mitophagy is a metabolic process that removes dysfunctional or redundant mitochondria. This process preserves mitochondrial health.

Fabrication of Poly-(DL-Lactic Acid)--Wollastonite Composite Films with Surface Modified {beta}-CaSiO3 Particles.

Bioactive poly-(DL-lactic acid) (PDLLA)-wollastonite composite films are successfully fabricated using surface modified wollastonite (m beta-CaSiO 3) particles through solvent casting-evaporation method. The surface modification of beta-CaSiO3 particles are conducted by reaction of the ceramic particles with dodecyl alcohol. Surface morphology, tensile strength, and bioactivity of the composite films are investigated.
