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. …”

Lancing drug reservoirs into subcutaneous fat to combat obesity and associated metabolic diseases by Than, Aung, Duong, Phan Khanh, Zan, Ping, Liu, Junjie, Leow, Melvin Khee-Shing, Chen, Peng

“…Specifically, ultrathin, core-shelled, and lance-shaped polymeric drug reservoirs (micro-lances [MLs]) are readily fabricated by a thermal pressing molding method and totally implanted into subcutaneous fat by lancing through the skin. Using a diet-induced obese mouse model, it is shown that the development of obesity and associated metabolic disorders is effectively inhibited by applying therapeutic core-shelled MLs once every 2 weeks. …”

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. …”
