In this study, we report a facile bio-inspired method for large-scale preparation of highly dispersed Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of flexible reduced graphene oxide (rGO) paper with using dopamine (DA) both as a reductant and a surface modifier. Through the self-polymerization of dopamine, free-standing GO paper can be simultaneously reduced and modified with following in situ growth of monolayer Ag NPs on such a substrate. The spherical Ag NPs with an average diameter of 80 nm have a narrow size distribution and tunable cover density. Such a flexible rGO/Ag hybrid paper presents enhanced antibacterial activity against E. coli and a high active and sensitive SERS response toward Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules. The detection signals can be obtained while the R6G concentration is as low as to 10(-8) M. This work provides a simple strategy for large-scale fabrication of monolayer Ag NPs on flexible rGO paper as a portable antibacterial substrate and a potential SERS substrate for molecular detection applications.

Glucose oxidase (GOX)-induced starvation is a safe treatment for tumor. However, the non-specific targeting of GOX and the plasticity of tumor metabolism lead to toxic side effects and low tumor mortality. Thus, it is necessary to develop a synergistic strategy with high tumor targeting specificity to enhance the mortality of GOX.

Background: Drug resistance and immune escape continue to contribute to poor prognosis in AML. Increasing evidence suggests that exosomes play a crucial role in AML immune microenvironment.
Methods: Sanger sequencing, RNase R and fluorescence in situ hybridization were performed to confirm the existence of circ_0006896.
Deep learning-based prediction of HER2 status and trastuzumab treatment efficacy of gastric adenocarcinoma based on morphological features.

Background: First-line treatment for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy. In clinical practice, HER2 positivity is identified through immunohistochemistry (IHC) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), whereas deep learning (DL) can predict HER2 status based on tumor histopathological features. However, it remains uncertain whether these deep learning-derived features can predict the efficacy of anti-HER2 therapy.

For large, open-air lithic cultural heritage, colonization is an inevitable process. This study examines the dual impact of colonization on the Leshan Giant Buddha's sandstone monuments, focusing on both biodeterioration and protection. Over three years, we conducted field surveys and monitored biocrusts (bryophytes, lichens, and biofilms) on these monuments, observing significant biodeterioration primarily due to mechanical exfoliation and acid corrosion.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics, and differential diagnosis of MED15-TFE3 gene fusion renal cell carcinoma (MED15-TFE3 RCC). A total of 12 MED15-TFE3 RCCs, diagnosed from 2016 to 2023, were collected from the Department of Pathology of Nanjing Jinling Hospital, Nanjing University School of Medicine, Nanjing, China for clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses and follow-up. In addition, its diagnosis and differential diagnosis were also explored.
