In this study, we developed quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) nanosensor for the real-time detection of tobramycin (TOB). Firstly, the modification of gold surface of QCM chip was performed by self-assembling monolayer formation of allyl mercaptane to introduce polymerizable double bonds on the chip surface. Then, TOB imprinted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methacryloylamidoglutamic acid) [p(HEMA-MAGA)] film was generated on the gold surface. The nonmodified and TOB-imprinted p(HEMA-MAGA) surfaces were characterized by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ellipsometry and contact angle measurements. The proposed method was validated according to the ICH guideline. The linearity range and the detection limit (S/N=3) were obtained as 1.7×10(-11)-1.5×10(-10) M and 5.7×10(-12) M, respectively. The developed method was applied to pharmaceuticals, and food samples such as chicken egg white and milk extract for the determination of TOB. In addition, association kinetics analysis and isotherm models were applied to the data to explain the adsorption process that took place.

Background: Specimen analysis is crucial for identifying imaging and neuropathological signatures. Histology is the gold-standard, but sample preparation and sectioning induce tissue deformations which hinder quantitative analysis or registration of histology to 3D MRI providing a challenge to the development of MRI biomarkers. Overall, we aim to develop a workflow to correlate histology with high-resolution MRI at a microscopic level (Figure 1), Here, we evaluate a critical step in this process - the section quality from tissue mounting techniques, comparing: A) traditional water bath (Figure 1F), and B) tape transfer (Figure 1G), for the purpose of image segmentation and correlation with high-resolution MRI.

Interfacing metal frameworks with carbon-based materials is attractive for the bottom-up construction of nanocomposite functional materials. The stepwise layering of difunctionalized diamantanes and gold metal from physical and chemical vapor deposition for the preparation of nanocomposites inverts the conventional preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and self-assemblies, where the metal is introduced first, and this method delivers metal surfaces with modified properties originating from the sp-carbon core. However, appropriate diamondoid candidates for such an approach are rare.

Conquering surface fouling of sensors caused by nonspecific adsorption and accumulation of foulants in a food matrix is of significance in accurate food safety analysis. Herein, an antifouling electrochemical aptasensor based on a Y-shaped peptide and nanoporous gold (NPG) for aflatoxin B1 detection in milk, tofu, and rice flour was proposed. The self-designed Y-shaped peptide involves an anchoring segment (-C), a support structure (-PPPP-), and an antifouling domain with two branches (-EK(KSRE)DER-) inspired by two bioactive peptides.

Background: Histopathological analysis of autopsied brains is the gold standard of diagnosis in neurodegenerative disorders. Co-registered histology and MRI scans aid in understanding pathology and structural features. Previous studies focused on the medial temporal lobe (MTL) for atrophy patterns in phosphorylated tau (p-tau) pathology and in whole hemisphere scans with contralateral semi-quantitative p-tau measures.
