A highly sensitive and selective tumor cell sensor based on partially oxidized graphene (POG) and folate acid (FA) composite was constructed. The POG was prepared through a modified Hummers method and characterized by means of Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared POG exhibited the advantages of high electrochemical activity and a good capacity of linking amine derivatives. Using a facile one step reaction, the FA-modified POG was endowed with a more sensitive response to folate-expressing tumor cells than those sensors constructed by the two-step reaction, as well as high selectivity, good reproducibility and long-term stability.

Oxidative stress (OS) inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Equol (Eq), a phytoestrogen, exhibits notable antioxidant properties and potential for preventing osteoporosis. However, the research on the regulatory effects of Eq on stem cell osteogenesis remains limited.

Background & Aims: Given the impact of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on T cell activation and proliferation functions, we aim to explore the heterogeneity of follicular cytotoxic T (Tfc) cells in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with NAFLD.
Methods: 32 healthy controls (HCs), 36 treatment-naïve CHB patients, and 19 treatment-naïve CHB + NAFLD patients were recruited. We employed multicolor flow cytometry to assess the exhausted phenotype and functionality of Tfc cells.

This research is aimed at unravelling the intricate relationship between transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6), protein kinase A (PKA), uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), and atherosclerosis. By shedding light on the role of the TRPV6/PKA/UCP2 pathway in inhibiting inflammatory response and cell apoptosis in coronary atherosclerotic plaques, this study provides valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating coronary artery disease (CAD). We established animal and cell models of atherosclerosis.

Over half million individuals suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. In addition to raising the possibility of cardiovascular diseases, skeletal myopathy remains a challenging complication that is highly correlated with mortality and a lower quality of life. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is an active cytokine for mobilization of immunological and hematopoietic stem cells that can replace exogenous stem cell infusions.

Ca overload and mitochondrial dysfunction play crucial roles in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Piezo1, a mechanosensitive cation channel, is essential for intracellular Ca homeostasis. The objective of this research was to explore the effects of Piezo1 on mitochondrial function during myocardial I/R injury.
