Article Abstract
We report the rational design of the matrix-free carbon dots (C-dots) with long wavelength and wavelength-tunable room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Taking advantage of microwave-assisted heating treatment, three RTP C-dots in boric acid (BA) composites are synthesized by using diethylenetriaminepentakis (methylphosphonic acid) as a multiple-sites crosslink agent, a moderately acid catalyst and P source; phenylenediamines (either o-PD, m-PD, or p-PD, respectively) as building block while BA as a carbonization-retardant matrix. After the water-soluble BA matrix is removed by dialysis, three matrix-free C-dots are obtained with RTP emission at 540, 550 and 570 nm under an excitation wavelength of 365 nm. Alterations of RTP emission of three matrix-free C-dots are ascribed to the difference in their particle size and band gap from n-π* transition. Furthermore, the application of three matrix-free C-dots are successfully performed in information encryption and decryption.

PI3K Signaling Pathway Inhibitor Affects Myeloma Cells in a Culture-Dependent Manner.

Purpose: The survival and progression of multiple myeloma (MM) cells rely heavily on supportive factors and cells within the MM microenvironment, notably macrophages. The PI3K signaling pathway plays a crucial role in both myeloma cells survival and macrophage polarity, making it a potential target for altering the MM microenvironment dynamics.
Methods: In this study, the impact of LY294002, a PI3K signaling pathway inhibitor, on the viability of U266 myeloma cells in mono-culture and MM patient-derived bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) in co-culture was investigated.

Study Question: What is the best protocol to establish a long-term stable three-dimensional (3D) model for human primary ovarian cells?
Summary Answer: We developed and characterized long-term cultured 3D models of primary ovarian somatic cells isolated from adult tissues, using Biosilk as a scaffold.
What Is Known Already: models that mimic ovaries are crucial for elucidating the biological mechanisms underlying follicle activation and growth, hormonal activity, ovarian angiogenesis, damage in response to toxic exposures, and other biological mechanisms that enable the functionality of this complex organ. Three-dimensional systems are particularly relevant because they replicate heterogeneity and cell-cell communication among different ovarian cell types.

Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems have become increasingly popular due to their ability to reproduce natural cell properties and architectures, thus mimicking tissue-like structures in vitro. Among these models, the culture of spherical cell aggregates (so-called spheroids) embedded in a semi-solid extracellular matrix (ECM) represents an advanced near-in vivo cell culture model, as it allows for different functional cell states as a result of cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions, as well as oxygen and nutrient gradients. Because spheroids are technically less demanding and relatively inexpensive to obtain, they are frequently used in drug screening and toxicity testing, enabling high-content screening for testing new drugs in the preclinical phase.

In vitro follicle culture (IFC) is an emerging fertility preservation alternative for women and children with cancer. Because two-dimensional (2D) IFC results in oocytes of suboptimal quality in mice and cannot support follicle growth in humans, the search for an optimal three-dimensional (3D) method that preserves the follicular structure is ongoing, and both matrix-free and hydrogel encapsulation systems are being explored. Our aim was to compare several 3D mouse IFC systems, including matrix-free and hydrogel encapsulation approaches.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on hyperfluorescent system have attracted widespread attention due to their ability to simultaneously achieve improvements in efficiency, lifetime, and color purity by combining the advantages of high exciton utilization sensitizers and high-color purity emitters. Traditional hyperfluorescent systems typically involve three or four components and are severely sensitive to the doping concentration (≈0.5 wt%) of a terminal emitter, which inevitably causes high costs and difficulties in reproducibility.
