Photoelectron imaging involves the photoejection of low-energy electrons from a specimen surface exposed to UV light. The electrons are then accelerated and focused by an electron-optics system in much the same way fluorescent light is focused in an optical microscope. Thus, photoelectron imaging is the electron-optical analog of fluorescence microscopy. In combination with photoemissive labels it serves to extend the range of studies possible by fluorescence, for example in work on cell surfaces and internal structures of cells that have been exposed by detergent extraction of membranes.

Well-designed artificial scaffolds are urgently needed due to the limited self-repair capacity of bone, which hampers effective regeneration in critical defects. Optimal scaffolds must provide physical guidance to recruit cells and immune regulation to improve the regenerative microenvironment. This study presents a novel scaffold composed of dual-sided centripetal microgrooved poly(D,L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) film combined with a dynamic hydrogel containing prednisolone (PLS)-loaded Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB@PLS).

In this study, a novel synthesis approach was employed to create the KIT-6/TiO photocatalyst with different ratios of Si/Ti. The results of the X-ray diffraction revealed that incorporating TiO with the anatase phase maintained the mesoporous structure of KIT-6 (Korean Institute of Technology 6). The scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images exhibited unobstructed mesopores, validating their anchoring within the internal structure of the support.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedic and dental implants due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, its inherently bioinert nature makes it present weak osteogenic activity, which greatly restricts its clinical adoption. Herein, strontium (Sr) is incorporated onto the surface of PEEK using mussel-inspired polydopamine coating to improve its osteogenic activity.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great promise as pH-responsive drug delivery systems, with considerable potential for targeted cancer therapy. In this study, we synthesized a novel curcumin-loaded MOF, named UWO-2 (CUR@UWO-2), and developed its biocomposite form, CS-κ-Cr/CUR@UWO-2, by coating it with chitosan (CS) and κ-carrageenan (κ-Cr). Structural analysis through powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) confirmed the successful synthesis of UWO-2 and the incorporation of CUR within the MOF structure.

Exploiting biomimetic perception of invisible spectra in flexible artificial human vision systems (HVSs) is crucial for real-time dynamic information processing. Nevertheless, the fast processing of motion objects in natural environments poses a challenge, necessitating that these artificial HVSs simultaneously have swift photoresponse and nonvolatile memory. Here, inspired by the human retina, we propose a flexible UV neuromorphic visual synaptic device (NeuVSD) based on GaO@GaN-composited nanowires for dynamic visual perception.
