Article Abstract
A novel approach for preparing carbohydrate chips based on polydopamine (PDA) surface to study carbohydrate⁻lectin interactions by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor instrument has been developed. The amino-carbohydrates were immobilized on PDA-coated quartz crystals via Schiff base reaction and/or Michael addition reaction. The resulting carbohydrate-chips were applied to QCM biosensor instrument with flow-through system for real-time detection of lectin⁻carbohydrate interactions. A series of plant lectins, including wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), concanavalin A (Con A), agglutinin I (UEA-I), soybean agglutinin (SBA), and peanut agglutinin (PNA), were evaluated for the binding to different kinds of carbohydrate chips. Clearly, the results show that the predicted lectin selectively binds to the carbohydrates, which demonstrates the applicability of the approach. Furthermore, the kinetics of the interactions between Con A and mannose, WGA and -Acetylglucosamine were studied, respectively. This study provides an efficient approach to preparing carbohydrate chips based on PDA for the lectin⁻carbohydrate interactions study.

Astringency, a complex oral sensation resulting from interactions between mucin and polyphenols, remains difficult to quantify in portable field settings. Therefore, quantifying the aggregation through interactions can enable the classification of the astringency intensity, and assessing the capillary action driven by the surface tension offers an effective approach for this purpose. This study successfully replicates tannic acid (TA)-mucin aggregation on a paper-based microfluidic chip and utilizes machine learning (ML) to analyze the resulting capillary flow dynamics.

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technology can mimic the physiological characteristics of tissues and organs, making it highly suitable for cell therapy, organ chips, and tissue engineering applications. However, achieving a uniform cell distribution within the 3D matrix while mitigating the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation generated during the 3D cell culture remains a critical challenge. Hydrogel actuators, with their excellent bioactivity and controllable self-rolling behavior, provide an optimal microenvironment for the 3D cell culture.

Background: Migraine episodes are known to induce heightened photosensitivity. Neuroimaging investigations have revealed that the primary visual cortex exhibits abnormal activation patterns both during and between migraine attacks. Growing evidence suggests that altered cortical activity patterns may underlie the pathophysiology of neurological disorders.

In enzymatic reaction glucose detection chips, the enzyme can easily dislodge from the electrode, which harms both the chip and test stability. Additionally, enzyme activity significantly decreases at low temperatures. Consequently, immobilizing the enzyme at the appropriate substrate and ambient temperature is a critical step for improving the chip.
