We propose a novel concept and tool kit for predictive phenotyping. The proposed technology measures respiration properties as functions of growth conditions to identify genotypes with higher plasticity via homeostasis and adaptive morphophysiology. Combining calorespirometry, oxygen isotope analysis and functional-marker-assisted selection ('CalOxy-FMAS') for genotype screening will enable predicting the genetic potential for stable plant growth performance. Application of this novel tool kit can help identify genotypes with controlled homeostasis in changing environments and optimized growth performance. Simultaneously, it will allow a better balance in breeding for high yields and quality characteristics. Applying 'CalOxy-FMAS' can efficiently narrow the pool of genotypes to be screened for final phenotyping in the field.

Spectroscopic soft sensors are developed by combining spectral data with chemometric modeling, and offer as Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools powerful insights into biopharmaceutical processing. In this study, soft sensors based on Raman spectroscopy and linear or partial least squares (PLS) regression were developed and successfully transferred to a filtration-based recovery step of precipitated virus-like particles (VLPs). For near real-time monitoring of product accumulation and precipitant depletion, the dual-stage cross-flow filtration (CFF) set-up was equipped with an on-line loop in the second membrane stage.

Whole exome sequencing (WES) is a well-established tool for clinical diagnostics, is more cost-effective and faster to analyse than whole genome sequencing and has been implemented to uplift diagnostic rates in human disease. However, challenges remain to achieve comprehensive and uniform coverage of targets, and high sensitivity and specificity. Differences in genomic target regions and exome capture mechanism between kits may lead to differences in overall coverage uniformity and capture efficiency.

Background: To guarantee high-quality patient scans, thorough quality assurance (QA) of SPECT or gamma cameras, including performance, review, and documentation, is essential.
Purpose: We developed a novel Nuclear Medicine Quality Assurance server (NMQA) with an AI deep learning (AIDL) optical character recognition (OCR) system to automate QA data retrieval and review from SPECT and gamma cameras. The system extracts and compares daily and weekly QA data against specifications.

In recent years, the decline in ovarian reserve function has become a major cause of reduced female fertility. Early identification, evaluation, and management of ovarian reserve dysfunction are essential for improving female fertility and reproductive health. Currently, the main diagnostic method is assessing ovarian function through measuring AMH serum concentration and follicle count.

Understanding the intracellular fate of nanoparticles (NPs) is essential for advancing nanomedicine, particularly in targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy. Here, we present a complementary cryogenic microscopy workflow across scales to investigate the uptake and subcellular localization of zirconyl-containing inorganic-organic hybrid nanoparticles (IOH-NPs) in murine breast cancer cells. Our approach integrates cryogenic fluorescence microscopy (cryo-FM), cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (cryo-FIBSEM), and cryo-soft X-ray tomography (cryo-SXT), enabling molecular specificity, high-resolution imaging, and volumetric ultrastructural analysis in near-native cellular states.
