Nearly half of cancer patients who receive standard-of-care treatments fail to respond to their first-line chemotherapy, demonstrating the pressing need for improved methods to select personalized cancer therapies. Low-coherence digital holography has the potential to fill this need by performing dynamic contrast OCT on living cancer biopsies treated ex vivo with anti-cancer therapeutics. Fluctuation spectroscopy of dynamic light scattering under conditions of holographic phase stability captures ultra-low Doppler frequency shifts down to 10 mHz caused by light scattering from intracellular motions. In the comparative preclinical/clinical trials presented here, a two-species (human and canine) and two-cancer (esophageal carcinoma and B-cell lymphoma) analysis of spectral phenotypes identifies a set of drug response characteristics that span species and cancer type. Spatial heterogeneity across a centimeter-scale patient biopsy sample is assessed by measuring multiple millimeter-scale sub-samples. Improved predictive performance is achieved for chemoresistance profiling by identifying red-shifted sub-samples that may indicate impaired metabolism and removing them from the prediction analysis. These results show potential for using biodynamic imaging for personalized selection of cancer therapy.

The seed coat plays a pivotal role in seed development and germination, acting as a protective barrier and mediating interac-tions with the external environment. Traditional histochemical techniques and analytical methods have provided valuable insights into seed coat composition and function. However, these methods often suffer from limitations such as indirect chemical signatures and lack of spatial resolution.

This study aims to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) by increasing the amount of protein immobilized on the surface of the magnetic bead (MB). Proteins are macromolecules with three-dimensional structures, and merely increasing the density of functional groups on the two-dimensional surface of the MB cannot significantly enhance protein immobilization. Therefore, we grafted spatially extended functional polymer to not only increase the density of functional groups on the MB surface but also expand their distribution in three-dimensional space, ultimately increasing protein immobilization.

Multilayered metal-dielectric nanostructures display both a strong plasmonic behavior and hyperbolic optical dispersion. The latter is responsible for the appearance of two separated radiative and nonradiative channels in the extinction spectrum of these structures. This unique property can open plenty of opportunities toward the development of multifunctional systems that simultaneously can behave as optimal scatterers and absorbers at different wavelengths, an important feature to achieve multiscale control of light-matter interactions in different spectral regions for different types of applications, such as optical computing or detection of thermal radiation.

The protein carrier and encapsulation system based on polyelectrolytes plays crucial roles in drug research and development. Traditional methods such as isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulation have illuminated parts of this complex relationship. However, they fall short of capturing the full picture of the interaction during the carrier's fabrication and protein loading dynamics.

By integrating iron-cobalt squarate bimetallic metal-organic framework (Fe-Co-SqBMoF) based smart material (SM) with functional DNA (fDNA), we designed a target responsive fDNA@Fe-Co-SqBMoF bioelectrode that exhibits recognition induced switchable response to serve as a reagentless single step electrochemical apta-switch (REA). The construct takes advantage of fDNA ability to bind and concentrate target on the receptor interface, while Fe-Co-SqBMoF@SM multifeatures to serve as an immobilization matrix and a signal generating electrochemical switch. Fe-Co-SqBMoF was introduced to prepare a redox active pencil graphite electrode (PGE), while fDNA (aptamer) was decorated on the receptor PGE to impart specificity and selectivity.
