Rhabdomyolysis or Crush syndrome-related AKI (RM/CS-AKI) has high mortality, and there is no effective early on-site treatment method. The critical pathogenic factor of RM/CS-AKI is the excessive free myoglobin (Mb) in blood circulation. Here, based on the concept of creating a "mobile barrier", we develop an anti-Mb rabbit monoclonal antibody (RabMAb) with high specificity, affinity, stability, and broad species reactivity.

Despite advances in medical treatments for severe trauma, it remains a critical condition associated with high mortality. During trauma, the release of endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) can induce immune dysfunction, leading to sepsis or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Vaccines based on specific pathogen antigens and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) contribute largely to the prevention of communicable diseases through the induction of adaptive immune responses.

Stray light is a key issue that must be considered in the TianQin telescope. To solve the problem of a long simulation time and the inability of the simulation results to be fed back to guide the optical design, we propose a fast estimation method for stray light based on the FOV with high accuracy. Compared to other models, the error between our model and the software simulation results is smaller, within one order of magnitude.

Parkinson's disease-causing leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutations lead to varying degrees of Rab GTPase hyperphosphorylation. Puzzlingly, LRRK2 GTPase-inactivating mutations-which do not affect intrinsic kinase activity-lead to higher levels of cellular Rab phosphorylation than kinase-activating mutations. Here, we investigate whether mutation-dependent differences in LRRK2 cellular localization could explain this discrepancy.

Performing reproducible vessel source level (SL) measurements is complicated by seabed reflections in shallow water. In deep water, with a hydrophone far from the seabed, it is straightforward to estimate propagation loss (PL) and convert sound pressure level (SPL) into SL using the method codified in the international standard ISO 17208-2 [International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Geneva, Switzerland (2019)]. Estimating PL is more difficult in shallow water because of the way that sound reflects from the seabed such that multiple propagation paths contribute to SPL.

In this paper, we proposed a double-layer all-dielectric grating. Under the premise of ensuring the strength of the resonance peak, the upper SiO grating layer suppresses the tendency of high-order dipole resonance excitation and improves the transmittance at the non-resonant position (T > 99%). The distribution of chromaticity coordinates on the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram also proves that suppressing side peaks can effectively increase the saturation of structural colors, which is essential for a high precision imaging system.

In this paper, we propose a new type of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) hybrid cavity compound grating micro-structure array, which can achieve dual narrowband super-absorption in the near-infrared window. The thin plasmonic microstructure effectively modulates coupling and hybridization effects between surface plasmon polaritons of different transmission resonance cavities to form designable dual narrowband resonance states to achieve near-infrared operation proving manipulation of the optical characteristics in the near-infrared light field. Furthermore, we conduct an in-depth theoretical exploration of the structure's unique properties, such as its high-quality factor, low noise, super-absorption, precise control, and the physical mechanism of its excellent performance in ambient refractive index sensing and detection.
