Article Abstract

The recent development of short-wavelength optics (X/EUV, synchrotrons) requires improved metrology techniques in terms of accuracy and curvature dynamic range. In this article a stitching Shack-Hartmann head dedicated to be mounted on translation stages for the characterization of X-ray mirrors is presented. The principle of the instrument is described and experimental results for an X-ray toroidal mirror are presented. Submicroradian performances can be achieved and systematic comparison with a classical long-trace profiler is presented. The accuracy and wide dynamic range of the Shack-Hartmann long-trace-profiler head allow two-dimensional characterizations of surface figure and curvature with a submillimeter spatial resolution.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, but distinguishing atomically dispersed metal sites from subnanometric clusters remains a major challenge. This often demands the integration of multiple characterization techniques, many of which either lack the resolving power to distinguish active sites from their surrounding environments (e.g.

Background: Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in high-grade brain tumors is characterized by contrast accumulation on diagnostic imaging. This window of opportunity study correlates contrast imaging features with the tumor distribution of BBB-permeable (levetiracetam) and -impermeable (cefazolin) drugs.

Methods: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of a high-grade brain tumor underwent MRI for surgical planning.

A novel post-modification strategy was developed for rapid functionalization of monoliths through amino-yne click chemistry. This approach enabled the conjugation of activated alkynes onto amino-functionalized organic-silica hybrid monolith surfaces under mild, catalyst-free conditions. Systematic investigation of critical reaction parameters was conducted to optimize the post-modification process.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and neuronal loss, with pathological hallmarks including Aβ plaque deposition and tau tangles. At present, the early diagnosis and treatment of AD still face great challenges, such as limited diagnostic methods, difficulty in blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, complex disease mechanisms, and lack of highly effective targeted therapies. Antibody drugs have shown broad prospects in the field of AD due to their high specificity, engineering and multifunctional therapeutic potential, include targeted Aβ clearance, tau pathological regulation, imaging probes, and blood biomarkers.
