In this study, we report a new class of rhodamine-based fluorescent sensors for highly selective and sensitive detection of Pd ions in aqueous medium. A rhodamine-based palladium sensor RPS and a coumarin-rhodamine Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-pair based palladium sensor FPS were synthesized with the designed podand ligand for Pd ion recognition. They showed both colorimetric change and fluorometric change in the presence of Pd ion due to the opening of their spirolactam rings. Both chemosensors are highly selective to Pd over the other 24 different metal ions and they are selective to palladium species in +2 oxidation state, RPS showed a 70-fold fluorescent turn-on while FPS showed a 1.75-fold ratiometric change at I/I. Furthermore, RPS showed low cell cytotoxicity and it was successfully used to image Pd in BEAS-2B lung epithelial cells. © 2019 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved.

Oncolytic therapy, inducing cell death via cell membrane lysis, holds considerable promise in cancer treatment. However, achieving precise control over the structure and function of oncolytic materials for highly selective oncolytic therapy is a key challenge in the context of the subtle differences between tumor and normal tissues/cells. Herein, we report the development of pH-ultrasensitive oncolytic polyesters (pOPs) with an alternating sequence of ionizable and hydrophobic groups.

Polyurethane sponge is frequently selected as a substrate material for constructing flexible compressible sensors due to its excellent resilience and compressibility. However, being highly hydrophilic and flammable, it not only narrows the range of use of the sensor but also poses a great potential threat to human safety. In this paper, a conductive flexible piezoresistive sensor (CHAP-PU) with superhydrophobicity and high flame retardancy was prepared by a simple dip-coating method using A-CNTs/HGM/ADP coatings deposited on the surface of a sponge skeleton and modified with polydimethylsiloxane.

Sterilization and Filter Performance of Nano- and Microfibrous Facemask Filters - Electrospinning and Restoration of Charges for Competitive Sustainable Alternatives.

Facemask materials have been under constant development to optimize filtration performance, wear comfort, and general resilience to chemical and mechanical stress. While single-use polypropylene meltblown membranes are the established go-to material for high-performing mask filters, they are neither sustainable nor particularly resistant to sterilization methods. Herein an in-depth analysis is provided of the sterilization efficiency, filtration efficiency, and breathing resistance of selected aerosol filters commonly implemented in facemasks, with a particular focus on the benefits of nanofibrous filters.

CPSF4-mediated regulation of alternative splicing of HMG20B facilitates the progression of triple-negative breast cancer.

J Transl Med

December 2024

Department of Breast Surgery, College of Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310000, Zhejiang, China.

Background: Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) contributes to tumor progression. A crucial component of AS is cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 4 (CPSF4). It remains unclear whether CPSF4 plays a role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression through AS regulation.
