Article Abstract
In this study, a photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) system based on a multifocal point (MFP) transducer was fabricated to produce a large depth-of-field tissue image. The customized MFP transducer has seven focal points, distributed along with the transducer's axis, fabricated by separate spherically-focused surfaces. These surfaces generate distinct focal zones that are overlapped to extend the depth-of-field. This design allows extending the focal zone of 10 mm for the 11 MHz MFP transducer, which is a great improvement over the 0.48 mm focal zone of the 11 MHz single focal point (SFP) transducer. The PAM image penetration depths of a chicken-hemoglobin phantom using SFP and MFP transducers were measured as 5 mm and 8 mm, respectively. The significant increase in the PAM image-based penetration depth of the chicken-hemoglobin phantom was a result of using the customized MFP transducer.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how retroviral integrase interacts with cellular chromatin to insert the retroviral genome into host chromosomes, focusing on the role of the cofactor LEDGF/p75.
- It reveals that retroviral integrase can independently recognize specific chromatin regions even without LEDGF/p75, but the cofactor can redirect integrase to different chromosome areas.
- The research enhances understanding of the chromatin-binding properties of integrase and LEDGF/p75, shedding light on how they work together to optimize the integration process during retroviral infection.

Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials have highly anisotropic thermal properties between the in-plane and cross-plane directions. Conventionally, it is thought that cross-plane thermal conductivities (κ ) are low, and therefore c-axis phonon mean free paths (MFPs) are small. Here, we measure κ across MoS films of varying thickness (20-240 nm) and uncover evidence of very long c-axis phonon MFPs at room temperature in these layered semiconductors.

The present study illustrates the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a novel multifocal point (MFP) transducer based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film for high-frequency ultrasound application. The fabricated MFP surface was press-focused using a computer numerical control (CNC) machining tool-customized multi-spherical pattern object. The multi-spherical pattern has five spherical surfaces with equal area and connected continuously to have the same energy level at focal points.

Objective: DKK3 (dickkopf 3), a 36-kD secreted glycoprotein, has been shown to be involved in the differentiation of partially reprogrammed cells and embryonic stem cells to smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but little is known about its involvement in vascular disease. This study aims to assess the effects of DKK3 on atherosclerotic plaque composition.
Approach And Results: In the present study, we used a murine model of atherosclerosis () in conjunction with and performed tandem stenosis of the carotid artery to evaluate atherosclerotic plaque development.
