The transformation of engineered microbial cells is a pivotal link in green biomanufacturing. Its distinctive research application involves genetic modification of microbial chassis to impart targeted traits and functions for effective synthesis of the desired products. Microfluidics, as an emerging complementary solution, focuses on controlling and manipulating fluid in channels at the microscopic scale. One of its subcategories is droplet-based microfluidics (DMF), which can generate discrete droplets using immiscible multiphase fluids at kHz frequencies. To date, droplet microfluidics has been successfully applied to a variety of microbes, including bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi, and the detection of massive metabolites of strain products, such as polypeptides, enzymes, and lipids, has been realized. In summary, we firmly believe that droplet microfluidics has evolved into a powerful technology that will pave the way for high-throughput screening of engineered microbial strains in the green biomanufacturing industry.

Purpose: Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening effectively reduces lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) mortality. However, accurately evaluating the malignant potential of indeterminate lung nodules remains a challenge. Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6), a potential biomarker for distinguishing benign pulmonary nodules from LUAD, may be leveraged for noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to aid LUAD diagnosis.

In this study, we identified features with the largest contributions and property trends in predicting the adsorption energies of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen adsorbates on transition metal (TM) surfaces by performing Density Functional Theory (DFT)-based calculations and Machine Learning (ML) regression models. From 26 monometallic and 400 bimetallic fcc(111) TM surfaces obtained from Catalysis-hub.org, three datasets consisting of fourteen elemental, electronic, and structural properties were generated using DFT calculations, site calculations, and online databases.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by irreversible loss of lung function and a poor prognosis. Type I collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of fibrosis and is considered a key molecular target for therapeutic intervention. While current anti-fibrotic therapies demonstrate limited efficacy in slowing disease progression, their clinical impact remains suboptimal due to poor pharmacokinetic properties and non-curative therapy.

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta (C/EBPδ) has been shown to promote tumour growth, drug resistance and metastasis formation in some cancers, whereas we have shown that its re-expression limits the features of tumour progression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The pharmacological targeting-either activation or inhibition-of C/EBPδ may therefore harbour clinical relevance and is desirable for preclinical studies on C/EBPδ in different contexts. Regrettably, to date, only few molecules have been identified that modify C/EBPδ.

Background: More than one in three adults with hypertension in the United States are unaware of their condition, highlighting the importance of large-scale screening campaigns. Currently, the identification of hypertension is largely limited to medical settings. To help overcome this barrier, we developed a novel high-throughput screening protocol that measures blood pressure (BP) while patients remain seated in an automobile ("car-BP").
