In this work, it is reported for the first time the use of a network of periodic optical resonant nanopillars for sensing vapors of volatile organic components. In particular, this work evaluates the presence of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, propionic acid, and toluene vapors at different working distances between the transducer and the surface of the sample in the liquid state, obtaining the sensing curve response of each one of them. In addition, it studies the thin film of liquid condensed onto the nanopillar surface, estimating their corresponding thickness value by means of numerical photonic simulations and their correlation with the corresponding vapor pressure of different specimens.

Photothermal treatment has attracted immense interest as a promising approach for biomedical applications such as cancer ablation, yet its effectiveness is often limited by insufficient laser penetration and challenges in achieving efficient targeting of photothermal agents. Here we developed a transvascular interventional photothermal therapy (Ti-PTT), which employed a small-sized microcatheter (outer diameter: 0.60 mm, 1.

Currently, the study of cuproptosis focuses on the Cu-induced morphology changes in mitochondria (Mito), and the observation of the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-related Cu content on cuproptosis is relatively lacking. Herein, we have developed a hydroxyflavone (HF)-based NIR excited two-photon fluorescent probe, BHCO, that exhibits specific recognition of Cu with high resolution. BHCO-Cu (Cu2BC) can lead to DLAT protein aggregation, triggering cuproptosis.

Diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion represent two prevalent vision-threatening retinal diseases. Retinal laser therapy still plays an important role in treating these conditions, but its successful administration often requires referral to specialized centers and retina experts. It is, therefore, essential to develop a new treatment methodology that enables patients to benefit from the expertise of specialists from reference centers.

Background: Post acne erythema (PAE) is a common sequela of inflammatory acne vulgaris resulting from the dilatation of microcapillaries within the papillary dermis, thinning of the epidermis, and release of inflammatory cytokines. The authors sought to compare the safety and efficacy of topical Brimonidine tartrate 0.33% gel versus A 577-nm pro-yellow laser for treatment of post acne erythema.

Since the initial publication on the first TiCT MXene in 2011, there has been a significant increase in the number of reports on applications of MXenes in various domains. MXenes have emerged as highly promising materials for various biomedical applications, including photothermal therapy (PTT), drug delivery, diagnostic imaging, and biosensing, owing to their fascinating conductivity, mechanical strength, biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. Through surface modification, MXenes can mitigate cytotoxicity, enhance biological stability, and improve histocompatibility, thereby enabling their potential use in biomedical applications.
