Plasmonic-WS hybrids have attracted widespread interest for plasmon driven catalytic reactions. In this work, a Ag nanoparticles (NPs)/WS hybrid was fabricated by utilizing a one-step anodized Al template-assisted vacuum thermal evaporation technique and wet transfer method. To optimize the catalytic performance, the morphological evolution and corresponding changes in the catalytic properties of the Ag NPs/WS hybrid at different thermal annealing temperatures were investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • Adamantinoma craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a benign tumor primarily affecting children, associated with serious complications and potential malignant behavior, making the exploration of its development and treatment critical.
  • Researchers used bioinformatics techniques on gene expression data to identify significant genes and diagnostic markers related to ACP, utilizing machine learning for validation against established data sets.
  • The study highlights five key diagnostic markers that can predict ACP progression and reveals an association between high levels of specific immune cells in ACP tissues and the disease's pathogenesis, suggesting potential drug treatment strategies.

Background: Gliomas are the most common intracranial nervous system tumours that are highly malignant and aggressive, and mitochondria are an important marker of metabolic reprogramming of tumour cells, the prognosis of which cannot be accurately predicted by current histopathology. Therefore, Identify a mitochondrial gene with immune-related features that could be used to predict the prognosis of glioma patients.

Methods: Gliomas data were downloaded from the TCGA database and mitochondrial-associated genes were obtained from the MITOCARTA 3.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical tool that can effectively detect and identify molecules by their unique vibrational fingerprints. Development of SERS substrates with good stability, high sensitivity and reproducibility is still a big challenge in practical applications. Recently, 2D materials/metallic hybrid SERS substrates provide a new prospect to improve the SERS performance.

Incorporation of visual-related self-action signals can help neural networks learn invariance. We describe a method that can produce a network with invariance to changes in visual input caused by eye movements and covert attention shifts. Training of the network is controlled by signals associated with eye movements and covert attention shifting.
