Synthesis and self-assembly of plasmonic metal nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy by Chew, Wee Shern

“…For synthesis, we develop a new cubic MNP, known as nanoporous gold nanoframes (NGNs), produced from a seed-mediated method. The NGN synergizes nanoscale porosity and hollow nanostructure in which lower porosity generates greater SERS capability. …”

Alleviation of off-target effects from vector-encoded shRNAs via codelivered RNA decoys by Mockenhaupt, Stefan, Grosse, Stefanie, Rupp, Daniel, Bartenschlager, Ralf, Grimm, Dirk

“…Moreover, we show how coexpressed TuDs can alleviate shRNA-mediated perturbation of global gene expression by specifically de-repressing off-target transcripts carrying seed matches to the shRNA sense strand. Our combination of shRNA and TuD in a single bicistronic gene transfer vector derived from Adeno-associated virus (AAV) enables a wide range of applications, including gene therapies. …”

Exploring the composition of placental microbiome and its potential origin in preterm birth by Saadaoui, M, Djekidel, MN, Murugesan, S, Kumar, M, Elhag, D, Singh, P, Kabeer, BSA, Marr, AK, Kino, T, Brummaier, T, McGready, R, Nosten, F, Chaussabel, D, Terranegra, A, Al Khodor, S

“…Some studies suggest it may originate from the vaginal tract, while others indicate that oral bacteria can enter the maternal bloodstream and seed the placenta. However, research analyzing the vaginal, oral, and placental microbiomes within the same cohort is lacking. …”

Deposition and characterisation of a diamond/Ti/diamond multilayer structure by Mallik, Awadesh Kumar, Lloret, Fernando, Gutierrez, Marina, Rouzbahani, Rozita, Pobedinskas, Paulius, Shih, Wen-Ching, Haenen, Ken

“…It has been found that a combined pre-treatment of the silicon base substrate, via argon plasma etching for creating surface roughness and, thereafter, detonation nanodiamond (DND) seeding, helps in the nucleation and growth of well-adherent CVD diamond films with a well-defined Raman signal at 1332 cm−1, showing the crystalline nature of the film. …”

Manufacturing mesenchymal stromal cells in a microcarrier-microbioreactor platform can enhance cell yield and quality attributes: case study for acute respiratory distress syndrome by Krupczak, Brandon, Farruggio, Camille, Van Vliet, Krystyn J.

“…First, we evaluated total cell yield harvested from dissolvable, gelatin microcarriers within a microbioreactor cassette (Mobius Breez) or a flask control with matched initial cell seeding density and culture duration. Next, we identified 24 genes implicated in a therapeutic role for a specific motivating indication, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); expression of these genes served as our pCQAs for initial in vitro evaluation of product potency. …”

Fabrication and biocompatibility evaluation of hydroxyapatite–polycaprolactone–gelatin composite nanofibers as a bone scaffold by Aminatun, None, Sujak M. K, Aisyah, Izak R, Djony, Hadi, Sofijan, Sari, Yessie Widia, Gunawarman, None, Cahyati, Nilam, Yusuf, Yusril, Che Abdullah, Che Azurahanim

“…The SEM analysis confirmed the biocompatibility of the HA/PCL/gelatin nanofiber scaffold, as osteoblast cells attached and dispersed successfully five days after seeding. Based on these findings, the HA/PCL/gelatin nanofiber scaffold emerges as a very promising candidate for treating bone damage. © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.…”
