The optimal use of biological systems for technologically developed products will not be achieved until biological systems are completely defined in biochemical terms. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 2-D gels, are contributing to this goal. These gels separate complex mixtures of proteins into individual polypeptide species. The ultimate use of 2-D gels is the construction of cellular 2-D gel databases which identify the proteins on the gels and catalog their responses to different environmental conditions. In addition to these global analyses, many applications for 2-D gels in basic, applied and clinical research have been shown.

Relation between critical exponent of the conductivity and the morphological exponents of percolation theory.

A central unsolved problem in percolation theory over the past five decades has been whether there is a direct relationship between the critical exponents that characterize the power-law behavior of the transport properties near the percolation threshold, particularly the effective electrical conductivity σ_{e}, and the exponents that describe the morphology of percolation clusters. The problem is also relevant to the relation between the static exponents of percolation clusters and the critical dynamics of spin waves in dilute ferromagnets, the elasticity of gels and composite solids, hopping conductivity in semiconductors, solute transport in porous media, and many others. We propose an approach to address the problem by showing that the contributions to σ_{e} can be decomposed into several groups representing the structure of percolation networks, including their mass and tortuosity, as well as constrictivity that describes the fluctuations in the driving potential gradient along the transport paths.

Article Synopsis
- Intratumoral injection of CAR-T cells for melanoma treatment offers reduced systemic side effects and higher CAR-T cell concentration, but challenges like few targeting ligands and a tough tumor microenvironment (TME) hinder effectiveness.
- A novel nanogel, HA-Mn-CAP Gel, was developed to target receptors in melanoma, releasing manganese to alleviate tumor hypoxia and boost CAR-T cell ligand expression, showing over a 2.7 times increase in NKGD ligand levels in melanoma cells.
- When combined with CAR-T therapy, HA-Mn-CAP Gel enhanced T cell proliferation and infiltration, increasing tumor inhibition rates significantly, suggesting this approach could improve therapies for solid tumors.
Metal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals-Intermediated Hydrogel for Boosting the Biosensing Performance.

Metal-halide perovskites have become attractive nanomaterials for advanced biosensors, yet the structural design remains challenging due to the trade-off between environmental stability and sensing sensitivity. Herein, a trinity strategy is proposed to address this issue by integrating Mn (II) substitution with CsPbCl inert shell and NH-PEG-COOH coating for designing Mn-doped CsPbCl/CsPbCl core/shell hetero perovskite nanocrystals (PMCP PNCs). The trinity strategy isolates the emissive Mn-doped CsPbCl core from water and the Mn d-d transition generates photoluminescence with a long lifetime, endowing the NH-PEG-COOH capped Mn-doped CsPbCl/CsPbCl PNCs with robust water stability and oxygen-sensitive property.

Solid-state cultivation is a promising technology for algal biomass production, achieving high productivities without the need for dewatering. However, such systems have suffered from high evaporation, and capital costs. Here is described a hydrogel photobioreactor (hPBR) with the aim of reducing water demand in solid-state cultivations.

To investigate the effects of gelatin methacrylate anhydride (GelMA) hydrogel loaded with small extracellular vesicles derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs-sEVs) in the treatment of full-thickness skin defect wounds in mice. This study was an experimental study. hUCMSCs-sEVs were extracted by ultracentrifugation, their morphology was observed through transmission electron microscope, and the expression of CD9, CD63, tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101), and calnexin was detected by Western blotting.
