We present a compact femtosecond nonlinear Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier delivering pulses carried at a wavelength of 1030 nm with an average power of >200  W at a repetition rate of 100 kHz and an energy noise value of 0.46% (rms) in a beam with a propagation factor of M<1.4. The amplifier is seeded with bandwidth-limited subpicosecond pulses without temporal stretching. We give estimates for the nonlinear parameters influencing the system and show that chirped mirrors compress the 2 mJ pulses to a near-bandwidth-limited duration of 210 fs.

A ganglioside-based immune checkpoint enables senescent cells to evade immunosurveillance during aging.

Nat Aging

Although senescent cells can be eliminated by the immune system, they tend to accumulate with age in various tissues. Here we show that senescent cells can evade immune clearance by natural killer (NK) cells by upregulating the expression of the disialylated ganglioside GD3 at their surface. The increased level of GD3 expression on senescent cells that naturally occurs upon aging in liver, lung, kidney or bones leads to a strong suppression of NK-cell-mediated immunosurveillance.

NAC-Grafted ROS-Scavenging Polymer Nanoparticles for Modulation of Acute Lung Injury Microenvironment In Vivo.

Biomacromolecules

December 2024

MOE Key Laboratory of Macromolecular Synthesis and Functionalization, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.

-Acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an essential molecule that boosts acute lung injury (ALI) defense via its direct antioxidant capability. Nevertheless, the therapeutic use of NAC is limited due to its poor bioavailability and short half-life. In this study, NAC was grafted to the polyurethane consisting of poly(propylene fumarate), poly(thioketal), and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (PFTU) to reduce excessive oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in ALI.

Three-Dimensional Bioprinting for Retinal Tissue Engineering.

Biomimetics (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Surgery, Division of Ophthalmology, University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, QC J1G 2E8, Canada.

Three-dimensional bioprinting (3DP) is transforming the field of regenerative medicine by enabling the precise fabrication of complex tissues, including the retina, a highly specialized and anatomically complex tissue. This review provides an overview of 3DP's principles, its multi-step process, and various bioprinting techniques, such as extrusion-, droplet-, and laser-based methods. Within the scope of biomimicry and biomimetics, emphasis is placed on how 3DP potentially enables the recreation of the retina's natural cellular environment, structural complexity, and biomechanical properties.
