TiO nanotube flow-through membranes (TNTsM) were fabricated anodization of Ti foil and explored as a biosensing platform for creatinine detection. The electrodes were prepared in different configurations including TNT membrane with top surface up (TNTsMTU/TNPs/FTO), TNT membrane with bottom surface up (TNTsMBU/TNPs/FTO), TNT membrane with top surface up containing nanograss (TNTsMNG/TNPs/FTO), and TNTs/NPs/FTO and TiO nanoparticles (TNPs) film on fluorine doped tin oxide (TNPs/FTO). Electrochemical studies depict the higher electrochemical activity (sensitivity ∼19.88 μA μM cm) of TNTsMTU/TNPs/FTO towards creatinine compared to other configurations. This exceptional performance of the TNTsMTU/TNPs/FTO electrode results from the flow-through nature of TNTsM and the removal of the bottom oxide barrier layer through etching in HO. The underlying layer of TiO NPs also contributes to the higher current response of the TNTsMTU/TNPs/FTO. The relevance of the biosensor structural design is demonstrated by the increased amperometric response of TNTsMTU/TNPs/FTO and greater redox peak current in cyclic voltammograms. Furthermore, the higher selectivity, stability, and reproducibility of the electrode can be due to the suitable redox potential, chemical stability, and controlled fabrication process of TNT membranes.

The treatment of wastewater containing the new insensitive energetic formulation IMX-104, which consists of the legacy explosive RDX and insensitive high explosives (IHE), 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole-5-one (NTO), was evaluated using a dual anaerobic-aerobic membrane bioreactor system. RDX and DNAN in the wastewater were completely degraded in the anaerobic MBR, with no observed production of common reduced daughter products (e.g.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is an early hallmark of pressure overload-induced myocardial injury and heart failure. Although CD36, a fatty acid transporter, regulates systemic insulin sensitivity, its role in myocardial insulin resistance under pressure overload remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate CD36's cardioprotective mechanisms in this context.

Stem cell-based therapy holds immense potential for treating patients with intractable diseases and injuries, while its benefit is often limited by the inefficient delivery of therapeutic actives. In this study, using mRNA analysis and validation, we discovered that the M-sec protein can interact with the Ral-exocyst pathway to induce tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) in stem cells, which could represent a pathway for the direct transfer of bioactive agents to damaged cells for therapeutic purposes. With this, we constructed a genetically engineered stem cell delivery system overexpressing M-sec (MSCs), which forms abundant TNTs.

Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by acute organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, often complicated by multi-organ injury. Myocardial injury occurs in approximately 40% of patients with sepsis, and failure to promptly recognize and manage this condition may result in missed treatment windows, disease exacerbation, and increased mortality. Sepsis-induced myocardial injury is reversible, and early diagnosis coupled with timely intervention can significantly reduce mortality.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP), highly overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), is crucial in tumor pathogenesis and progression, making it an important target for diagnosis and therapy. This study presents the design of a series of FAP inhibitors (FAPIs) derived from UAMC-1110 derivative, modified with zwitterions and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The novel Ga-labeled tracers show improved pharmacokinetics compared to Ga-FAPI-04.
