We developed an integrated platform consisting of machinery and software modules that can apply vast amounts of data generated by nanoflow LC-MS to differential protein expression analyses. Unlabeled protein samples were completely digested with modified trypsin and separated by low speed (200 nl/min) one-dimensional HPLC. Mass spectra were obtained every 1 s by using the survey mode of a hybrid Q-TOF mass spectrometer and displayed in a two-dimensional plane with m/z values along the x axis, and retention time was displayed along the y axis. The time jitter of nano-LC was adjusted using newly developed software based on a dynamic programming algorithm. The comprehensiveness (60,000-160,000 peaks above the predetermined threshold detectable in 60-microg cell protein samples), reproducibility (average coefficient of variance of 0.35-0.39 and correlation coefficient of over 0.92 between duplicates), and accurate quantification with a wide dynamic range (over 10(3)) of our platform warrant its application to various types of experimental and translational proteomics.

In recent years, nanoflow sheath liquid (nanoSL) interfaces have been used more commonly for capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) coupling due to their high sensitivity combined with flexibility in CE separation conditions. So far, the exact amount of sheath liquid (SL) and, thus, the dilution effect remain unknown due to the self-supplying type of the nanoSL interfaces. To quantify the SL flow rates, we present here an approach for the determination of the flow rate based on isotopically labeled standards using the nanoCEasy interface.

Tortuosity is a crucial characteristic of porous materials, such as the shale matrix where shale gas is stored. The presence of tortuous nanochannels significantly affects the adsorption and transport of nanoflows. In this research, we use molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to study the adsorption and transport properties of shale gas (methane) in a curved slit-like nanochannel constructed from bent graphene sheets.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of global mortality, with current screening and diagnostic methods often lacking in sensitivity and specificity. In our endeavor to develop precise, objective, and easily accessible diagnostic biomarkers for NSCLC, this study aimed to leverage rapidly evolving liquid biopsy techniques in the field of pathology to differentiate NSCLC patients from healthy controls by isolating peripheral blood samples and enriching extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing lung-derived proteins (thyroid transcription factor-1 [TTF-1] and surfactant protein B [SFTPB]), along with the cancer-associated protein CD151 EVs. Additionally, for practical applications, we established a nano-flow cytometry assay to detect plasma EVs readily.
