Assembly and Comparative Analysis of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of (Asteraceae).

is a perennial herb used in traditional Chinese medicine and is effective against rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of (GenBank accession number: ON584565.1).

Photoluminescence Tuning of Stable CaYGaO: Bi/Eu via Compositional Modulation and Crystallographic Site Engineering for nUV wLEDs.

The olivine-based gallate CaYGaO (CYG) with unique cationic ordering, rich lattice sites, and self-photoluminescence (PL) is suitable for application as a host of phosphor. However, research in this area is still in its early stages, especially in high-quality full-spectrum white lighting. Herein, novel CYG: Bi/Eu with a controllable PL property is designed based on energy transfer and superposition of emissions from blue self-PL, blue PL of Bi, and red-PL of Eu.

Intradermal delivery of an angiotensin II receptor blocker using a personalized microneedle patch for treatment of hypertrophic scars.

High-quality postoperative rehabilitation is the focus of most patients currently, and hypertrophic scar (HS) greatly reduces the patient's quality of life due to the symptom of severe itching. Traditional HS therapies are associated with limitations, such as poor drug delivery efficiency for topical administration and severe pain for intralesional injection. In this study, we developed a personalized microneedle patch system for minimally invasive and effective treatment of HSs.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of (Liliaceae).

The chloroplast genome and evolutionary relationship analysis of could provide fundamental genetic reference for its molecular breeding and biological research. The complete chloroplast genome of was sequenced and reported here. The genome was 152,050 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeated regions (26,330 bp) which were separated by a large single copy region of 82,184 bp, and a small single copy region of 17,206 bp.

Responsive principles and applications of smart materials in biosensing.

Biosensing is a rising analytical field for detection of biological indicators using transducing systems. Smart materials can response to external stimuli, and translate the stimuli from biological domains into signals that are readable and quantifiable. Smart materials, such as nanomaterials, photonic crystals and hydrogels have been widely used for biosensing purpose.

High drug-loading gold nanoclusters for responsive glucose control in type 1 diabetes.

Background: Diabetes is one of the biggest medical challenges worldwide. The key to efficiently treat type 1 diabetes is to accurately inject insulin according to the blood glucose levels. In this study, we aimed to develop an intelligent insulin-releasing gold nanocluster system that responds to environmental glucose concentrations.

Gold nanoclusters for controlled insulin release and glucose regulation in diabetes.

Diabetes has become the third threat to public health worldwide. Traditional treatments of diabetes require frequent blood glucose testing and insulin injections, which not only bring great pain to patients but also exhibit difficulty in controlling the blood glucose accurately. In order to solve these problems, we developed a smart glucose-responsive insulin delivery system responding to the environmental glucose concentration based on gold nanoclusters (GNCs).

Rare-Earth Free Self-Activated Graphene Quantum Dots and Copper-Cysteamine Phosphors for Enhanced White Light-Emitting-Diodes under Single Excitation.

Rare-earth (RE) based phosphors are attractive due to their potential applications. However, owing to the resource issue, these kinds of phosphors are expensive and costly. On the contrary, as for phosphor-convert white light-emitting-diodes (pc-WLEDs), a solution-processed tunable warm white emission LED composite is fabricated in this study under single excitation, with both RE free phosphors graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and Copper-Cysteamine (Cu-Cy).
