Recent studies have shown that ultrashort plasma cell-free DNA (uscfDNA), a novel type of cfDNA fragment approximately 50 nucleotides long, differs from conventional monocyte-derived cfDNA in several aspects, including specific extraction requirements and a higher incidence of tumor-specific genetic alterations. uscfDNA shows promise in enhancing liquid biopsy sensitivity for cancer detection, with distinct methylation profiles observed in cancer patients. These findings suggest uscfDNA analysis could significantly improve non-invasive cancer diagnostics, offering new avenues for early detection and personalized medicine strategies.

Individualized medication with peptide antibiotics, guided by therapeutic drug monitoring, is essential to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Peptide antibiotics exhibit an "on-off" elution mechanism on a C18 column, leading to adsorption at the column inlet in all-aqueous conditions. Unlike small molecules, column length minimally influences their retention, with longer columns simply broadening peptide antibiotic peaks due to unnecessary post-column volume.

Femtosecond laser pulses are currently regarded as an emerging and promising tool for processing wide bandgap dielectric materials across a variety of high-end applications, although the associated physical phenomena are not yet fully understood. To address these challenges, we propose an original, fully analytical model combined with Two Temperatures Model (TTM) formalism. The model is applied to describe the interaction of fs laser pulses with a typical dielectric target (e.

The energy band structure and surface/interface properties are prerequisite for not only preserving the intrinsic material quality but also manipulating carrier transport behavior for photoelectrochemical (PEC) photodetection. How to precisely design/regulate the band structure and surface/interface properties of semiconductor materials is the key to improving the performance of PEC photodetection. Herein, the quintuple heterotypic homojunction (QH) GaAs film is fabricated with a gradient energy band via plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy for constructing a high-speed carrier transport channel in PEC photodetection, which can efficiently drive the separation and transport of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.
