The catalyst which is used in the signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) process facilitates substrate hyperpolarisation while acting to speed up the rate of relaxation. Consequently, the lifetime over which the hyperpolarised contrast agent is visible is drastically reduced. We show that the addition of a chelating ligand, such as bipyridine, rapidly deactivates the SABRE catalyst thereby lengthening the agent's relaxation times and improving the potential of SABRE for diagnostic MRI.

Traditional biological detection methods rely on signal amplification strategies such as enzymatic catalysis or nucleic acid amplification. However, their efficiency decreases in low-temperature environments, compromising their detection sensitivity. To break the loss of enzyme catalytic activity at low temperatures, research on cold-adaptive nanozymes has attracted much attention.

While immunotherapy has shown some efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, many respond only partially or not at all. One limitation in improving outcomes is the lack of a complete understanding of immune checkpoint regulation. Here, we investigated a possible link between an environmental chemical receptor implicated in lung cancer and immune regulation, the AhR, a known but counterintuitive mediator of immunosuppression (interferon (IFN)-γ), and regulation of two immune checkpoints (PD-L1 and IDO).

Decentralized molecular detection of pathogens remains an important goal for public health. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains the gold-standard molecular detection method, thermocycling using Peltier heaters presents challenges in decentralized settings. Recent work has demonstrated plasmonic PCR, where nanomaterials on a surface or nanoparticles in solution heat upon stimulation by light, as a promising method for rapid thermocycling.

Peripheral blood circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a crucial liquid biopsy biomarker that correlates overall systemic tumor burden with malignant progression. However, identifying multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ctDNA presents significant challenges. In this study, we developed a rolling circle amplification (RCA)-supported multipedal DNA walker integrated with toehold-mediated strand displacement (TSDR) to facilitate the detection of ctDNA SNPs.

Purpose: Long-axial field-of-view PET scanners capture multi-organ tracer distribution with high sensitivity, enabling lower dose dynamic protocols and dual-tracer imaging for comprehensive disease characterization. However, reducing dose may compromise data quality and time-activity curve (TAC) fitting, leading to higher bias in kinetic parameters. Parametric imaging poses further challenges due to noise amplification in voxel-based modelling.
