Article Synopsis
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious condition in newborns with a low survival rate, making it crucial to find ways to predict severe cases before birth.
- This study discovered four specific microRNAs (miRNAs) in amniotic fluid-derived small extracellular vesicles that can help differentiate between good and poor prognosis in CDH cases, with two miRNAs showing particularly strong predictive abilities.
- The research also highlighted differences in miRNA profiles between CDH-affected lung tissues and control tissues, suggesting that miRNA levels could provide valuable insights into lung health and help improve prenatal care for CDH patients.
Nanowarming of vitrified pancreatic islets as a cryopreservation technology for transplantation.

Biobanking of pancreatic islets for transplantation could solve the shortage of donors, and cryopreservation of vitrified islets is a possible approach. However, a technological barrier is rewarming of large volumes both uniformly and rapidly to prevent ice formation due to devitrification. Here, we describe successful recovery of islets from the vitrified state using a volumetric rewarming technology called "nanowarming," which is inductive heating of magnetic nanoparticles under an alternating magnetic field.
