An ultrasensitive plasmonic near-infrared fluorescent biosensor substrate has been developed for detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) biomarker in blood plasma, an important protein biomarker of traumatic brain injury (TBI). To minimize the interference from blood plasma sample matrix, a near-infrared fluorophore in the first biological transparency window is used in the biosensor. To amplify the fluorescence signals, a plasmonic gold nanopyramid array has been coupled to the fluorophore. Finite-difference time-domain simulation reveals that the excitation enhancement is primarily responsible for the fluorescence enhancement owing to the intense local electric field excited on the corners and edges. As a result, this biosensor exhibits a lower limit of detection of 0.6 pg/mL toward detection of GFAP in blood plasma.

Background: Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) has the capacity to release great amounts of several growth factors, as well as to stimulate increased fibroblast migration and the expression of collagen, transforming growth factor β, and platelet-derived growth factor. Consequently, i-PRF can be used as a bioactive agent to promote periodontal tissue regeneration.
Objective: We aim to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of i-PRF in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Introduction: Trauma and hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) are associated with multiple organ injury. Antithrombin (AT) has anti-inflammatory and organ protective activity through its interaction with endothelial heparan sulfate containing a 3-O-sulfate modification. Our objective was to examine the effects of T/HS on 3-O-sulfated (3-OS) heparan sulfate expression and determine whether AT-heparan sulfate interactions are necessary for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Introduction: Coagulopathy following traumatic injury impairs stable blood clot formation and exacerbates mortality from hemorrhage. Understanding how these alterations impact blood clot stability is critical to improving resuscitation. Furthermore, the incorporation of machine learning algorithms to assess clinical markers, coagulation assays and biochemical assays allows us to define the contributions of these factors to mortality.

Vascular inflammation regulates endothelial pathophenotypes, particularly in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Dysregulated lysosomal activity and cholesterol metabolism activate pathogenic inflammation, but their relevance to PAH is unclear. Nuclear receptor coactivator 7 () deficiency in endothelium produced an oxysterol and bile acid signature through lysosomal dysregulation, promoting endothelial pathophenotypes.
