The emerging demand of data storage in wearable devices, flexible circuits based on organic semiconductor materials are encouraged, while organic field effect transistors face the challenges of low operating voltage and high on/off ratio. In this work, a high-performance flexible organic field effect transistor (OFET) is built with a threshold voltage range of -0.45 to -0.

Here, an organic synapse transistor based on C8-BTBT/PMMA/PbS quantum dots (PbS QDs) is fabricated, which has good stability, low power consumption (as low as 0.49 fJ per event under 800 nm near-infrared optical pulse), and broadband response from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths.

These impairments include IQ timing skew, gain imbalance, and quadrature phase errors at the transmitter side. To achieve adaptive control of the equalizer's filter coefficients, we employ the decision-directed least mean square (DD-LMS) algorithm.

Recent proliferation and integration of tissue-clearing methods and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has created new opportunities to achieve mesoscale three-dimensional whole-brain connectivity mapping with exceptionally high throughput. With the rapid generation of large, high-quality imaging datasets, downstream analysis is becoming the major technical bottleneck for mesoscale connectomics. Current computational solutions are labor intensive with limited applications because of the exhaustive manual annotation and heavily customized training.

To date, however, limited studies on the inhibitory effect of exosomes derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on DLBCL progression have been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of hBMSC exosomes carrying microRNA-124-3p in the development of DLBCL.
