A rapid CRISPR competitive assay for in vitro and in vivo discovery of potential drug targets affecting the hematopoietic system by Shen, Yunbing, Jiang, Long, Iyer, Vaishnavi Srinivasan, Raposo, Bruno, Dubnovitsky, Anatoly, Boddul, Sanjaykumar V., Kasza, Zsolt, Wermeling, Fredrik

“…Here, we present a rapid and universal experimental approach to functionally analyze a CRISPR-targeted cell population that does not involve generating clonal lines. As a simple readout, we leverage the CRISPR-induced genetic heterogeneity and use sequencing to identify how different genotypes are enriched or depleted in relation to the studied cellular behavior or phenotype. …”

Elucidating the size-dependency of in vitro digested polystyrene microplastics on human intestinal cells health and function by Ma, Yiyuan, Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan, Lim, Hong Kit, Shi, Pujiang, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Herein, the potential deleterious biological effects of pristine and in vitro digested polystyrene (PS) MPs of varying sizes (i.e., 0.1, 1, and 10 µm) are systematically examined over a wide concentration range of 25–400 µg mL−1 on two human intestinal cell lines, namely Caco-2 and NCM 460. Specifically, significant internalization of 0.1 and 1 µm PS -MPs have been observed in both cell types 24 h postexposure. …”

Engineering memristor : control over the fourth fundamental element for memory application and beyond by Ge, Ning

“…This is especially shown in the recent neuromorphic computing since both neuron and memristor operate in ions. In many ways, a memristor is very similar to a synapse (a biological connection between two neurons), which is able to modulate and tune the efficiency of signal transmission between neurons with a high level of plasticity. …”
