The aim of the study was to visualize design regulations of furniture by means of interactive technology based on earlier studies and practical examples. The usage of the visualized regulations was evaluated on two occasions: at the start when the first set of regulations was presented, and after six years of usage of all regulations. The visualized regulations were the result of a design process involving experts and potential users in collaboration with IKEA of Sweden AB. The evaluations by the different users showed a very positive response to using visualized regulations. The participative approach, combining expertise in specific regulations with visualization of guidelines, resulted in clear presentations of important regulations, and great attitudes among the users. These kinds of visualizations have proved to be applicable in a variety of product areas at IKEA, with a potential for further dissemination. It is likely that the approaches to design and visualized regulations in this case study could function in other branches.

Real-time monitoring of the dynamics of cytosolic RNA-protein condensates, termed stress granules (SGs), is vital for understanding their biological roles in stress response and related disease treatment but is challenging due to the lack of simple and accurate methods. Compared with protein visualization that requires complex transfection procedures, direct RNA labeling offers an ideal alternative for tracking SG dynamics in living cells. Here, we propose a novel molecular design strategy to construct a near-infrared RNA-specific fluorescent probe () for tracking SGs in living cells.

Sulfur dioxide (SO), being a novel gaseous signaling molecule, exhibits significant potential for application in the field of cardiovascular diseases. SO donors serve as crucial tools for the transportation and regulation of SO in vivo, facilitating the investigation of physiological roles associated with this molecule. However, the current therapeutic SO donors lack the capability to monitor the real-time release of SO, thereby hindering accurate assessment of their therapeutic efficacy and target localization.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for about 85 % of all lung cancers, currently exhibits insensitivity to most treatment regimens. Therefore, the identification of new and effective biomarkers for NSCLC is crucial for the development of treatment strategies. Immunogenic cell death (ICD), a form of regulated cell death capable of activating adaptive immune responses and generating long-term immune memory, holds promise for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and offering promising prospects for immunotherapy strategies in NSCLC.

Calcium plays an important role in regulating various neuronal activities in human brains. Investigating the dynamics of the calcium level in neurons is essential not just for understanding the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders but also as a quantitative gauge to evaluate the influence of drugs on neuron activities. Accessing human brain tissue to study neuron activities has historically been challenging due to ethical concerns.
