The exponential growth of data in the era of big data has led to a surging demand for computing power that outpaces the current pace of expansion in traditional computing architectures. Non-von Neumann architectures have emerged as a promising approach to address this challenge. Concurrently, two-dimensional (2D) materials have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties, including high carrier mobility, excellent physical responsivity (to photons, gases, tactile stimuli, ), and the potential for integration with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology.

Purpose: High-throughput screening methods for cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s), such as colorimetric, mass spectrometric, and fluorescence-based assays, often face limitations in throughput, real-time monitoring, and versatility.

Methods: To address these challenges, we developed a novel biosensor leveraging glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation for real-time monitoring of intracellular NADP levels, enabling P450 activity detection. The sensor was applied to monitor P450 activity by tracking intracellular NADP dynamics, as P450s catalyze diverse substrate reactions and convert NADPH to NADP via their electron transport system.

Background: Cerebral swelling in relation to cytotoxic edema is a predictor of poor outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and elevated blood pressure (BP) promotes its development. Whether intensive BP-lowering treatment reduces cerebral swelling is uncertain. We aimed to determine whether intensive BP lowering reduces the severity of cerebral swelling after thrombolysis for AIS.

Jasmonic acid (JA), as a defensive plant hormone, can synergistically or antagonistically interact with common hormones such as gibberellin (GA), abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic hormone acid (IAA), and ethylene (ETH) during the plant growth process, as well as interact with hormones such as melatonin (MT), brassinolide (BR), and resveratrol to regulate plant growth and development processes such as metabolite synthesis, pest and disease defense, and organ growth. The core regulatory factor MYC2 of JA mainly mediates the signal transduction pathways of these hormone interactions by interacting with other genes or regulating transcription. This article reviews the mechanism of cross-talk between JA and hormones such as ABA, GA, and salicylic acid (SA), and discusses the role of MYC2 in hormone interactions.

The limitations of deep neural networks in continuous learning stem from oversimplifying the complexities of biological neural circuits, often neglecting the dynamic balance between memory stability and learning plasticity. In this study, artificial synaptic devices enhanced with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) that exhibit metaplasticity is introduced, a higher-order form of synaptic plasticity that facilitates the dynamic regulation of memory and learning processes similar to those observed in biological systems. The GQDs-assisted devices utilize interface-mediated modifications in asymmetric conductive pathways, replicating classical synaptic plasticity mechanisms.
