A MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric method is described for the determination of small molecule compounds with cis-diol. It is based on the use of a binary matrix consisting of boron nitride (BN) and α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid that was modified with the derivatization reagent of (3-(acridin-9-ylamino)phenyl)boronic acid which can recognize cis-diols. The binary matrix is used for desorption/ionization (DI) in the positive ion mode. The mechanism leading to DI enhancement was investigated. The results imply that BN is beneficial for the DI because it induces an enhancement in the positive ion mode. The boronic acid-functionalized binary matrix was successfully applied to capture the glucose, shikimic acid and quinic acid. The method was applied to the determination of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol in plant oil. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a method for detecting the cis-diol compounds on matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) using the binary matrix of boron nitride (BN)/α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) that was modified with (3-(acridin-9-ylamino)phenyl) boronic acid (AYPBA).

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has been used to generate spatial maps of lipids, metabolites, peptides, proteins, and glycans in tissues; however, its use for mapping extracellular matrix (ECM) protein distributions is underexplored. ECM proteins play a major role in various pathological conditions, and changes in their spatial distributions affect the function and morphology of cells within tissues. ECM protein detection is challenging because they are large, insoluble, and undergo various post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation.

Accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cancer using CT scan images is critical for early detection and treatment, potentially saving numerous lives globally. Manual identification of pancreatic tumors by radiologists is challenging and time-consuming due to the complex nature of CT scan images and variations in tumor shape, size, and location of the pancreatic tumor also make it challenging to detect and classify different types of tumors. Thus, to address this challenge we proposed a four-stage framework of computer-aided diagnosis systems.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a modern, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective energy conversion technology that utilizes renewable organic waste as fuel, converting stored chemical energy into usable bioelectricity in the presence of a biocatalyst. Despite advancements in MFC technology, several challenges remain in optimizing power production efficiency, particularly regarding anode materials and modifications. In this study, low-cost biosynthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) were coated with a polyaniline (PANI) conducting matrix to synthesize hybrid FeO/PANI binary nanocomposites (NCs) as modified MFC anodes via an in-situ polymerization process.
