The development of effective diagnostic strategies is crucial for ensuring the public health security. Here, we present a composite probe with exceptional peroxidase-like activity suitable for ultrasensitive and rapid immune-quantitative analysis. The probe is prepared via the polydopamine (PDA)-mediated flexible spatial barrier strategy, which overcomes performance limitations associated with inadequate or excessive loading that causes aggregation. The NU-902@CeO@PDA@CeO (NCPC) exhibits remarkable peroxidase-like activity, achieving 310-fold and 111-fold enhancements over horseradish peroxidase and CeO in catalytic constant, respectively. Furthermore, NCPC maintains superior stability compared to natural enzymes, overcoming a key limitation of biological catalysts. When applied to chloramphenicol as an antibiotic model, the NCPC-mediated immunoassay reduces the detection time by 83.88% and achieves a limit of detection of 4.99 pg/mL, outperforming enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays by 194-fold. The NCPC-mediated strategy will greatly improve the quantitative analysis performance in the fields of in vitro diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring, thereby ensuring public health safety.

It has been suggested that episodic memory relies on the well-studied machinery of spatial memory. This influential notion faces hurdles that become evident with dynamically changing spatial scenes and an immobile agent. Here I propose a model of episodic memory that can accommodate such episodes via temporal indexing.

Conservation policies often need to integrate scientific predictions with ethical considerations. However, different normative ethical systems at the root of conservation approaches often support different decisions, and the moral stances of stakeholders are influenced by diverse societal values and perceptions. This creates the potential for dilemmas and conflicts.

5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) has revolutionized DNA replication and cell cycle analyses through fast, efficient click chemistry detection. However, commercial EdU kits suffer from high costs, proprietary formulations, limited antibody multiplexing capabilities, and difficulties with larger biological specimens. Here, we present OpenEMMU (Open-source EdU Multiplexing Methodology for Understanding DNA replication dynamics), an optimized, affordable, and user-friendly click chemistry platform utilizing off-the-shelf reagents.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells exhibit high metabolic flexibility, enabling survival under glucose limitation by using alternative fuels such as fatty acids. Lipophagy, a selective form of autophagy targeting lipid droplets (LDs), supports mitochondrial respiration during such nutrient stress. Our previous study demonstrated that the LSD1 inhibitor SP-2509 disrupts lipophagy independently of LSD1 inhibition, leading to LD accumulation and ATP depletion in glycolysis-suppressed PDAC cells.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable communication between individuals and computers or other assistive devices by decoding brain activity, thereby reconstructing speech and motor functions for patients with neurological disorders. This study presents a high-resolution micro-electrocorticography (µECoG) BCI based on a flexible, high-density µECoG electrode array, capable of chronically stable and real-time motor decoding. Leveraging micro-nano manufacturing technology, the µECoG BCI achieves a 64-fold increase in electrode density compared to conventional clinical electrode arrays, enhancing spatial resolution while featuring scalability.
