Miniaturized inertial sensor based on high-resolution dual atom interferometry.

Atom interferometry shows high sensitivity for inertial measurements in the laboratory, but it faces difficulties in field applications because of a trade-off between sensitivity and size. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a small sensor with high resolution for measuring acceleration and rotation in inertial navigation applications. Presented here is a miniaturized inertial sensor capable of measuring acceleration and rotation simultaneously based on high-resolution dual atom interferometers.

Sleep fragmentation impairs cognitive function and exacerbates Alzheimer's disease-related pathology in a mouse model by disrupting mitochondrial biogenesis.

A large proportion of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients suffer from various types of chronic sleep disturbances, including sleep fragmentation (SF). In addition, impaired mitochondrial biogenesis is an important feature of AD, but whether it is altered in sleep disorders has not been fully elucidated. Hence, we aimed to investigate the relationship between SF and mitochondrial biogenesis and the possible impact of SF on AD-related pathology.

Reconstruction and application of multilayer brain network for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy based on link prediction.

Unlabelled: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) exhibits abnormal functional connectivity of brain networks at multiple frequencies. We used the multilayer network model to address the heterogeneous features at different frequencies and assess the mechanisms of functional integration and segregation of brain networks in JME patients. To address the possibility of false edges or missing edges during network construction, we combined multilayer networks with link prediction techniques.

Targeting Fibroblast Activation Protein for Molecular Imaging of Fibrotic Remodeling in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using F-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT in assessing the fibrotic remodeling of the pulmonary artery (PA) and the right ventricle (RV) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In a rat model of monocrotaline-induced PAH, rats were euthanized at different time points for tissue analysis (fibroblast activation protein immunofluorescence and Masson's trichrome staining) after completing F-FAPI PET/CT and hemodynamic measurements. Thirty-eight PAH patients were enrolled to participate in F-FAPI PET/CT imaging, with right heart catheterization and echocardiography performed within 1 wk to assess pulmonary hemodynamics and cardiac function.

Phthalocyanine aggregates as semiconductor-like photocatalysts for hypoxic-tumor photodynamic immunotherapy.

Photodynamic immunotherapy (PIT) has emerged as a promising approach for efficient eradication of primary tumors and inhibition of tumor metastasis. However, most of photosensitizers (PSs) for PIT exhibit notable oxygen dependence. Herein, a concept emphasizing on transition from molecular PSs into semiconductor-like photocatalysts is proposed, which converts the PSs from type II photoreaction to efficient type I photoreaction.
