Aim: Silk fibroin/chitosan/ZnO/ (Ast) gum fibrous scaffolds along with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) were investigated for accelerating diabetic wound healing.

Methods: Scaffolds with a core-shell structure and different compositions were synthesized using the electrospinning method. Biological investigations included antibacterial testing, cell viability analysis and cell attachment evaluation. experiments, including the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) test, were conducted to assess wound-healing efficacy and histopathological changes.

Results: The incorporation of to the silk fibroin@ chitosan/ZnO scaffold improved wound healing in diabetic mice. In addition, seeding of ADSCs on the scaffold accelerated wound healing.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that the designed scaffold can be useful for skin regeneration applications.

Surface antigen-directed immunotherapy is a curative treatment modality for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is characterized by the abundance and stability expression of surface antigens. However, current surface antigen-directed immunotherapies have shown poor outcomes and undesirable mortality rates in treating AML patients, primarily due to acquired resistance that arises from using single-target therapies to address the heterogeneous expression of surface antigens. Hence, in order to improve the efficacy of antigen-specific therapies for treating AML, we designed a bispecific aptamer-drug conjugate.

In this study, we present an ultrasensitive and specific multiplexed detection method for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza (Flu) utilizing CRISPR/Cas13a technology combined with a hydrogel-encapsulated photonic crystal (PhC) barcode integrated with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The barcodes, characterized by core-shell structures, are fabricated through partial replication of periodically ordered hexagonally close-packed silicon dioxide beads. Consequently, the opal hydrogel shell of these barcodes features abundant interconnected pores that provide a substantial surface area for probe immobilization.

Ferroptosis is a type of cell death triggered by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides in cells. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, can lead to various health complications. The process of ferroptosis and the progression of diabetes are closely linked to redox homeostasis, which is regulated by the levels of reactive oxygen and sulfur species.

This study investigates the deposition of tantalum (Ta) coatings on carbon foams using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to enhance their compressive strength. Two types of open-cell carbon foams, CF-1 and CF-2, with different strut diameters, were examined. The morphology and uniformity of the coatings were characterized, and the effect of coating thickness on the compressive strength of the foams was systematically analyzed.
