Increasing numbers of biomedical doctoral graduates enter the biotechnology and industry workforce, though most lack training in business concepts and entrepreneurship. Early-stage researchers can greatly benefit from education and skills development in venture creation and commercialization of discoveries. With support from NIDDK and NCATS, the Biomedical Entrepreneurship Educational Program (BEEP) was developed to fill the science of translation and innovation knowledge gap. Results of a 2 year post BEEP survey revealed that 70% of participants were either planning to form a biomedical startup, create a new drug, or bring a new medical device to market. 94% of participants indicated that the program was relevant to biomedical entrepreneurs at all career stages. The data show longer term success measures of BEEP and highlight the need to integrate such programs into standard biomedical curricula as well as enhance interdisciplinary collaborations.

Emission Tuning of Nonconventional Luminescent Materials via Cluster Engineering.

Small

January 2025

Guangxi Key Laboratory of Optical and Electronic Materials and Devices, Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Natural and Biomedical Polymer Materials, College of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Technology, No.12 Jian'gan Rd., Qixing District, Guilin, 541004, China.

Nonconventional Luminescent Materials (NLMs) with distinctive optical properties are garnering significant attention. A key challenge in their practical application lies in precisely controlling their emission behavior, particularly achieving excitation wavelength-independent emission, which is paramount for accurate chemical sensing. In this study, NLMs (Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4) are synthesized via a click reaction, and it is found that excitation wavelength-dependent emission correlates with molecular cluster formation.

A reduction-secretion system contributes to roxarsone (V) degradation and efflux in Brevundimonas sp. M20.

BMC Microbiol

January 2025

School of Laboratory Animal & Shandong Laboratory Animal Center, Shandong First Medical University, Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, Ji'nan, Shandong, 250117, China.

Roxarsone (V) (Rox(V)) is an organoarsenical compound that poses significant risks to aquatic ecosystems and various diseases. Reducing trivalent 3-amino-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (HAPA(III)) offers a competitive advantage; however, it leads to localized arsenic contamination, which can disrupt the soil microbiome and impede plant growth. Three genes, BsntrA, arsC2, and BsexpA, encoding nitroreductase, arsenate reductase, and MFS transporter, respectively, were identified in the Rox(V)-resistant strain Brevundimonas sp.

The objective was to determine the research status and hotspots of seasonal affective disorders (SAD) based on bibliometric tools, which will contribute to the further research in this field. We used bibliometric tools CiteSpace and VOSviewer to conduct visual quantitative analysis on 465 SAD literatures in the Web of Science core database from 2008 to 2023 from multiple perspectives such as collaboration network, keywords, and literature citations. At the same time, we used Microsoft Word to make relevant tables.

High-throughput proteomic platforms are crucial to identify novel Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers and pathways. In this study, we evaluated the reproducibility and reliability of aptamer-based (SomaScan 7k) and antibody-based (Olink Explore 3k) proteomic platforms in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from the Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona real-world cohort. Intra- and inter-platform reproducibility were evaluated through correlations between two independent SomaScan assays analyzing the same samples, and between SomaScan and Olink results.

Exploring New Tools in Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke Using an Exoskeletal Aid: A Pilot Randomized Control Study.

Healthcare (Basel)

January 2025

Unit of Medical Technology and Intelligent Information Systems, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Ioannina, 45110 Ioannina, Greece.

Background/objectives: Spasticity commonly occurs in individuals after experiencing a stroke, impairing their hand function and limiting activities of daily living (ADLs). In this paper, we introduce an exoskeletal aid, combined with a set of augmented reality (AR) games consisting of the Rehabotics rehabilitation solution, designed for individuals with upper limb spasticity following stroke.

Methods: Our study, involving 60 post-stroke patients (mean ± SD age: 70.
