Article Abstract
For increasing the number of internal hot spots in the individual plasmonic nanoparticles, porous Au nanostructures were synthesized by a hybrid approach combining a physical process, which defined the overall shapes and dimensions of the nanostructures, and a chemical process, which incorporated nanopores inside the patterned nanostructures. This approach allows us to synthesize lithographically designed Au nanodisks containing numerous internal Raman hot spots in the form of nanopores. The increased number of hot spots successfully improved SERS intensity, and this experimental result was further elucidated by numerical electromagnetic simulations. The highly improved and homogeneous SERS intensities illustrate the great potential of the porous plasmonic nanodisks as a sensitive molecular imaging agent.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown potential for early disease diagnosis via urinary metabolomics, but still faces challenges in achieving stable hot spots and processing complex clinical data. In this study, the preparation of chiral gold nanostars with precisely controllable branch size, number, and sharpness was realized by investigating the effects of l-GSH and CTA ( indicates halides) on site occupancy, reduction rate, and selective adsorption on crystal facets. Raman spectroscopic characterization using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule revealed that nanoparticles with fewer branches, larger branch bases, and smoother surfaces exhibited excellent SERS activity, with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 5.

The processes of thermoforming 2D-printed electronics into 3D structures can introduce defects that impact the electrical performance of conductors, making them more susceptible to thermal failure during high electrical power/current applications on temperature-sensitive substrates. We therefore report the use of a thin-film boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) interlayer to directly reduce heat stress on linear and serpentine metallic traces on polycarbonate substrates thermoformed to 3D spherocylindrical geometries at varying elongation percentages. We demonstrate that the BNNT interlayer helps to improve the electrical conductivity of highly elongated thermoformed 3D traces in comparison to traces on bare polycarbonate.

B cells located in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) may undergo clonal expansion, somatic hypermutation, isotype switching, and tumor-specific antibody production, suggesting that antibody-producing plasma cells may be involved in antitumor immunity. This study used a combination of single-cell sequencing (five samples from our center, and four samples from PRJNA662018) and spatial transcriptome (one sample from our center, and four samples from GSE169379) research methods to investigate the relationship between TLSs and the immunoglobulin repertoire in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). 405 patients with MIBC from TCGA and 348 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma on PD-L1 inhibitor treatment from the IMvigor210 trial were included in this study.

The natural radiation background contributes to the dose of ionizing radiation received by the whole population. However, the telluric component of the natural background radiation is not homogenous on Earth: while the average effective dose has been estimated to be 2.4 mSv/year worldwide, certain regions are considered as high natural background radiation areas (HBRA).
