Raman spectroscopy can quickly achieve non-destructive, qualitative and quantitative detection, and analysis the molecular structure of substances. Herein, a facile and low-cost method for preparation of highly sensitivity SERS substrates was implemented through the displacement reaction of copper foam immersed in AgNO ethanol solution. Due to the 3D structure of copper film and homogenous displacement, the Ag-Cu substrate showed high performance SERS enhancement (1.25 × 10), and the lowest detection concentration for R6G reached 10 Mol/L. For glucose detection, mixed decanethiol (DT)/mercaptohexanol (MH) interlayer was used to enable glucose attach to the substrate surface, and the limit of detection reached to 1 uM/L. SERS substrate makes the Ag-Cu SERS substrate promising for biological applications.

This paper introduces a highly absorbent and sensitive cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/gold nanorod (GNR)@Ag surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor, fabricated using the vacuum filtration method. By optimizing the Ag thickness in the GNR@Ag core-shell structures and integrating them with CNFs, optimal SERS hotspots were identified using the Raman probe molecule 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP). To concentrate pesticides extracted from fruit and vegetable surfaces, we utilized the evaporation enrichment effect using hydrophilic CNF and hole-punched hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% of the global population, with increasing prevalence driven by diabetes, hypertension, and aging populations. CKD often progresses asymptomatically, frequently undetected until advanced stages, and may require costly treatments, such as dialysis or transplantation. CKD imposes a substantial financial burden on health care systems, with management costs rising sharply as the disease progresses, underscoring the need for early, cost-effective interventions.

Artemisinin-based treatments (ACTs) are the first therapy currently used to treat malaria produced by . However, in recent years, increasing evidence shows that some strains of are less susceptible to ACT in the Southeast Asian region. A data reanalysis of several omics approaches currently available about parasites of that have some degree of resistance to ACT was carried out.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignancy with a substantial health burden and high mortality rate, despite advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. Compared with the global average, Asia, notably China, reports disproportionately high GC incidences. The disease often progresses asymptomatically in the early stages, leading to delayed diagnosis and compromised outcomes.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is one of the highly fatal cancers and poses a serious threat to human health. Ferroptosis has been widely studied and proved to have an important role in tumor suppression, providing new avenues for cancer therapy; glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4) and selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase(TXNRD1) are important regulatory targets in ferroptosis.Warburg effect is one of the important energy sources for cancer hypermetabolism, and pyruvate kinase isoenzyme 2 (PKM2) is a key metabolism enzyme that is important in this effect.
