The multiple roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in pathogenesis have received much attention, as they are valuable as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. We employed polymeric EV precipitation to isolate EVs from clinical specimens to overcome the limitations of ultracentrifugation (UC), such as low protein yields, a large volume of specimens used, and time requirements. Multiple-cycle polymeric EV precipitation was applied to enhance the purity of the EV fractions with a small sample volume. Then, the purity was assessed using a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) panel consisting of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M), thrombospondin 1 (THBS 1), galectin 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP), and serum albumin (ALB). For purity evaluation, the EV fractions isolated from blood specimens were subjected to shotgun proteomics and MRM-based targeted proteomics analyses. We demonstrate that the modified method is an easy and convenient method compared with UC. In the shotgun proteomics analysis, the proteome profile of EV fraction contains 89% EV-related proteins by matching with the EVpedia database. In conclusion, we suggest that multiple-cycle polymeric EV precipitation is not only a more effective method for EV isolation for further proteomics-based experiments, but may also be useful for further clinical applications due to the higher EV yield and low sample requirements.

A highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor was developed using a surface modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) through molecularly imprinted polymerization on the surface of vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) coated magnetic nanoparticle (FeO) decorated silver nanoparticles incorporated graphene oxide, GO (VTMS-FeO/AgGO) for L- Tyrosine (Tyr) detection. A molecular imprinting technique based on free radical polymerization was applied to synthesize molecularly imprinted Methacrylic acid (MAA) and Acrylamide (AA) grafted VTMS-FeO/AgGO polymer (MAA/AA-g- VTMS-FeO/AgGO) designated as MIP and non-imprinted polymer (NIP). The structure and morphology of the prepared polymers were FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM and VSM.

Cell alignment and elongation, which are critical factors correlated with differentiation and maturation in cell biology and tissue engineering, have been widely studied in organisms. Several strategies such as external mechanical strain, geometric topography, micropatterning approaches, and microfabricated substrates have been developed to guide cell alignment, but these methodologies cannot be used for easily denatured natural proteins to modulate the cell behaviour. Herein, for the first time, a novel biocompatible light-controlled protein-based bilayer soft actuator composed of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs), silk fibroin (SF), graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), named ESGRG, is developed for efficiently driving cellular orientation and elongation with anisotropic features on soft actuator via remote NIR laser exposure.

This study investigated a new method of multiple-cycle operation of a sulphur-cycle-enhanced biological phosphorus (P) removal system to maintain good phosphorus removal performance at a high temperature (30 °C). The findings demonstrate that P removal was low and unstable under a normal cycle (77 ± 18%), but multiple cycles resulted in a high and quite stable level of P removal (88 ± 9%). Moreover, in the normal mode, the polyhydroxyalkanoate levels increased significantly from 2 to 15 mg C/g of VSS, the glycogen level doubled from 5 to 10 mg C/g of VSS and the polyhydroxyalkanoate and glycogen levels were maintained at considerably low levels after multiple cycles (only 5 C/g of VSS).

A highly sensitive electrochemical sensor using a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with surface molecularly imprinted polymeric microspheres (SMIPMs) was developed for methyl parathion (MP) detection. Molecular imprinting technique based on distillation precipitation polymerization was applied to prepare SMIPMs and non-surface imprinted microspheres (MIPMs). The polymer properties including morphology, size distribution, BET specific surface area and adsorption performance were investigated and compared carefully.
