Tracing RNA biography: in situ transcriptome profiling by novel spatial omics technologies by Ren, Jingyi (Rena)

“…Applying these technologies, I’ve profiled spatial, temporal and single-molecule information of RNA and single cells at the transcriptomic and translational levels in a range of biological systems, including iPSCs, primary skin cells and intact brain tissues. Specifically, I’ve focused on quantifying key steps in the mRNA life cycle in their spatial context, including RNA synthesis, nuclear export, translation, cytoplasmic translocation, and degradation. …”

Enhancing prosthetic control through high-fidelity myoelectric mapping with molecular anchoring technology by Pan, Liang, Wang, Hui, Huang, Pingao, Wu, Xuwei, Tang, Zihan, Jiang, Ying, Ji, Shaobo, Cao, Jinwei, Ji, Baohua, Li, Guanglin, Li, Dechang, Wang, Zhiming, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Precise and agile control requires low-level myoelectric signals (below 10% of maximum voluntary contraction, MVC) from weak muscle contractions such as phantom finger or wrist movements, but imbalanced calcium concentration in atrophic skin can distort the signals. This is due to poor ionic-electronic coupling between skin and electrode, which often causes excessive muscle contraction, fatigue, and discomfort during delicate tasks. …”

Filamentation of a relativistic proton bunch in plasma by Verra, L, Amoedo, C, Torrado, N, Clairembaud, A, Mezger, J, Pannell, F, Pucek, J, van Gils, N, Bergamaschi, M, Zevi Della Porta, G, Lopes, N, Sublet, A, Turner, M, Gschwendtner, E, Muggli, P, Agnello, R, Ahdida, CC, Andrebe, Y, Apsimon, O, Apsimon, R, Arnesano, JM, Bencini, V, Blanchard, P, Burrows, PN, Buttenschön, B, Caldwell, A, Chung, M, Cooke, DA, Davut, C, Demeter, G, Dexter, AC, Doebert, S, Farmer, J, Fasoli, A, Fonseca, R, Furno, I, Granados, E, Granetzny, M, Graubner, T, Grulke, O, Guran, E, Henderson, J, Kedves, MÁ, Kraus, F, Krupa, M, Lefevre, T, Liang, L, Liu, S, Lotov, K, Pakuza, C, Ramjiawan, RL, Spear, B

“…We determine a threshold value for the ratio between the bunch transverse size and plasma skin depth for the instability to occur. At the threshold, the outcome of the experiment alternates between filamentation and self-modulation instability (evidenced by longitudinal modulation into microbunches). …”

The retinoid agonist Tazarotene promotes angiogenesis and wound healing by Al Haj Zen, A, Nawrot, DA, Howarth, AL, Caporali, A, Ebner, D, Vernet, A, Schneider, JE, Bhattacharya, S

Metal mediated high performance antimicrobial hydrogel films for wound infection management: Zn, Cu, and Mg versus Ag and Au by Sen, Raj Kumar., Prabhakar, Priyanka, Mayandi, Venkatesh, Dwivedi, Neeraj, Yadav, Amit K., Solanki, Pratima R., Gupta, Ayush, Gowri, V. S., Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Verma, Navin Kumar, Mondal, D. P., Srivastava, Avanish Kumar, Dhand, Chetna

“…While silver-based materials have emerged as potential alternatives to antibiotics in wound care management, they are expensive (gold is an even more expensive antimicrobial agent), and their excessive use may promote silver-resistant microbial strains, and skin argyrosis. Furthermore, excessive wound exudate causes conventional wound dressings to become moistened and painful to remove due to adhesion to the wound. …”
