The Implication (IMPLY) and Inhibition (INHIB) Boolean logic gates were realized using switchable chimeric pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH-Clamp) containing a fused affinity clamp unit recognizing a signal-peptide. The second component of the logic gate was the wild-type PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase working cooperatively with the PQQ-GDH-Clamp enzyme. The IMPLY and INHIB gates were realized using the same enzyme composition activated with differently defined input signals, thus representing reconfigurable logic systems. The logic gates were first tested while operating in a solution with optical analysis of the output signals. Then, the enzymes were immobilized on a buckypaper electrode for electrochemical transduction of the output signals. The switchable modified electrodes mimicking the IMPLY or INHIB logic gates were integrated with an oxygen-reducing electrode modified with bilirubin oxidase to operate as a biofuel cell activated/inhibited by various input signal combinations processed either by IMPLY or INHIB logic gates. The switchable biofuel cell was used as a self-powered device triggering molecule release function controlled by the logically processed molecule signals.

The MiG-V was designed for high-security applications and is the first commercially available logic-locked RISC-V processor on the market. In this context, logic locking was used to protect the RISC-V processor design during the untrusted manufacturing process by using key-driven logic gates to obfuscate the original design. Although this method defends against malicious modifications, such as hardware Trojans, logic locking's impact on the RISC-V processor's data confidentiality during runtime has not been thoroughly examined.

Optical computing, renowned for its light-speed processing and low power consumption, typically relies on the coherent control of two light sources. However, there are challenges in stabilizing and maintaining high optical spatiotemporal coherence, especially for large-scale computing systems. The coherence requires rigorous feedback circuits and numerous phase shifters, introducing system instability and complexity.

Analyzing the cell interface is of paramount importance in understanding how cells interact and communicate with other cells, but an advanced analytical platform that can process complex and networked interactions between cell surface ligands and receptors is lacking. Herein, we developed the cell-interface-deciphering lipid nanotablet (CID-LNT) for multiplexed real-time cell analysis. LNT is a nanoparticle-tethered lipid bilayer chip where freely diffusing plasmonic nanoparticles induce scattering signal changes.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health burden, being one of the most prevalent cancers with high mortality rates. Despite advances in conventional treatment modalities, patients with metastatic CRC often face limited options and poor outcomes. Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy, initially successful in hematologic malignancies, presents a promising avenue for treating solid tumors, including CRC.

DNAzyme-based cascade networks are effective tools to achieve ultrasensitive detection of low-abundance miRNAs. However, their designs are complicated and costly, and the operation is time-consuming. Herein, a novel simple noncascade DNAzyme network is designed and its amplification effect is comparable to or even better than many cascading ones.
