The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term µTBS (Micro-tensile bond strength) and microscopic (SEM and TEM) observation of four recent adhesives. One adhesive was an experimental step-less 1-step system (LLB-2, Tokuyama Dental), which is an all-in-one system without the light-curing step in the application process. The other two were self-adhering light-cured flowable composite resin systems FLD (Fusio Liquid Dentin, Pentron Clinical Technologies) and VF (Vertise Flow Dental Restorative Materials, Kerr Corporation), which combine all the bonding steps together. A 2-step self-etching system MG (Clearfil MegaBond, Kuarary Medical) was employed as the control group in this study. The µTBS of MG was the highest (79.0 MPa) followed by that of LLB-2 (63.1 MPa), FLD (23.6 MPa), and VF (13.1 MPa). The microscopic observations showed that MG and LLB-2 had an approximately 20 µm and 5 µm adhesive layer respectively, without bubble or gap-formation at the resin-dentin interface, which were found in FLD and VF.

Currently, the most common approach for manufacturing GMP-grade adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors involves transiently transfecting mammalian cells with three plasmids that carry the essential components for production. The requirement for all three plasmids to be transfected into a single cell and the necessity for high quantities of input plasmid DNA, limits AAV production efficiency, introduces variability between production batches, and increases time and labor costs. Here, we developed an all-in-one, single-plasmid AAV production system, called AAVone.

In regular biosample cryopreservation operations, dropwise pipetting and continuous swirling are ordinarily needed to prevent cell damage ( sudden osmotic change, toxicity and dissolution heat) caused by the high-concentration cryoprotectant (CPA) addition process. The following CPA removal process after freezing and rewarming also requires multiple sample transfer processes and manual work. In order to optimize the cryopreservation process, especially for trace sample preservation, here we present a microfluidic approach integrating CPA addition, sample storage, CPA removal and sample resuspension processes on a 30 × 30 × 4 mm three-layer chip.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is a widely favored anti-tumor treatment, but it shows limited response to non-immunogenic "cold" tumors and suffers from drug resistance. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a powerful localized treatment approach, can convert a "cold tumor" into a "hot tumor" by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells, thereby enhancing tumor immunogenicity and promoting tumor immunotherapy. However, the effectiveness of PDT is largely hindered by the limited penetration depth into tumor tissues.

Metastasis as the hallmark of cancer preferentially contributes to tumor recurrence and therapy resistance, aggrandizing the lethality of patients with cancer. Despite their robust suppressions of tumor progression, chemotherapeutics failed to attenuate cancer cell migration and even triggered pro-metastatic effects. In parallel, protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor subfamily, actively participates in cancer metastasis via multiple signal transduction pathways.

PACKMOL is a widely utilized molecular modeling tool within the computational chemistry community. However, its tremendous advantages have been impeded by the longstanding lack of a robust open-source graphical user interface (GUI) that integrates parameter settings with the visualization of molecular and geometric constraints. To address this limitation, we have developed PACKMOL-GUI, a VMD plugin that leverages the dynamic extensibility of the Tcl/Tk toolkit.
