We report a tunable spatiotemporally mode-locked large-mode-area Er:ZBLAN fiber laser based on the nonlinear polarization rotation technique. A diffraction grating is introduced to select the operating wavelength. Under the spectral and spatial filtering effects provided by the grating and spatial coupling respectively, stable ps-level spatiotemporally mode-locked pulses around 2.8 µm with a repetition rate of 43.4 MHz are generated. Through a careful adjustment of the grating, a broad wavelength tuning range from 2747 to 2797 nm is realized. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first wavelength-tunable spatiotemporally mode-locked fiber laser in the mid-infrared region.

Epidermal melanocytes form synaptic-like contacts with cutaneous nerve fibers, but the functional outcome of these connections remains elusive. In this pilot study we used our fully humanized re-innervated skin organ culture model to investigate melanocyte-nerve fiber interactions in UV-B-induced melanogenesis. UV-B-irradiation significantly enhanced melanin content and tyrosinase activity in re-innervated skin compared to non-innervated controls, indicating that neuronal presence is essential for exacerbating pigmentation upon UV-B irradiation in long-term culture.

The growing use of the thulium fiber laser (TFL) and the development of pulsed thulium lasers (p-Tm:YAG) highlight the relevance of this review, as these innovations aim to improve precision and outcomes in urological procedures.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have shown the advantages of TFL in achieving precise tissue ablation, reduced retropulsion offered by the Moses technology in holmium lasers, and the potential of pulsed thulium lasers for more precise control of the effects on tissues.

Clinical benefits of immunotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) are limited due to the low immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is discovered to colonize CRC tumors and dampen immunotherapy by fostering an immunosuppressive TME. Herein, a controllable "Shielding-deshielding" N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-derived photothermal nanotherapeutic is developed to mediate cascade targeting toward tumor and intratumoral Fn for enhanced photothermal-immunotherapy.

Photothermal treatment has attracted immense interest as a promising approach for biomedical applications such as cancer ablation, yet its effectiveness is often limited by insufficient laser penetration and challenges in achieving efficient targeting of photothermal agents. Here we developed a transvascular interventional photothermal therapy (Ti-PTT), which employed a small-sized microcatheter (outer diameter: 0.60 mm, 1.
