Objectives: The heterogeneity and phenotype of immune cells orchestrate many physiologic and pathologic processes. Recent evidence suggests that immune cells play critical roles in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesised that injury and obesity, two major risk factors for OA, affect the immunophenotype of the synovium, the primary reservoir of immune cells in the joint. Methods: Using single-cell transcriptomics, immunoprofiling, transgenic mouse models, and genetic fate mapping methods, we characterised the presence and fate of multiple populations of immune cells found in the knee joint capsule. Results: We found that joint injury and obesity differentially and synergistically alter the architectural, cellular, and molecular profiles of the synovial capsule. We observed fewer patrolling monocytes in obese animals and found a significantly higher influx of proinflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages in the first 3 days after joint injury in obese compared with that in control animals. We also showed a significant loss of barrier-forming synovial lining macrophages 3 days after destabilisation of medial meniscus surgery, with a significant restoration of their numbers in normal weight but not in obese mice in advanced stages of OA. Finally, we characterised the presence and changes of other immune cell subtypes, including T, B, and mast cells and neutrophils, as well as local synovial fluid cytokines associated with injury and obesity. Conclusions: Our data revealed that injury and obesity independently and synergistically contribute to the dysregulation of the synovial immune landscape, providing new insight into their role in the pathogenesis of OA. © 2025 The Authors

Wireless electroencephalography (EEG) systems have been attracting increasing attention in recent times. Both the number of articles discussing wireless EEG and their proportion relative to general EEG publications have increased over years. These trends indicate that wireless EEG systems could be more accessible to researchers and the research community has recognized the potential of wireless EEG systems. To explore the development and diverse applications of wireless EEG systems, this review highlights the trends in wearable and wireless EEG systems over the past decade and compares the specifications and research applications of the major wireless systems marketed by 16 companies. For each product, five parameters (number of channels, sampling rate, cost, battery life, and resolution) were assessed for comparison. Currently, these wearable and portable wireless EEG systems have three main application areas: consumer, clinical, and research. To address this multitude of options, the article also discussed the thought process to find a suitable device that meets personalization and use cases specificities. These investigations suggest that low-price and convenience are key factors for consumer applications, wireless EEG systems with FDA or CE-certification may be more suitable for clinical settings, and devices that provide raw EEG data with high-density channels are important for laboratory research. This article presents an overview of the current state of the wireless EEG systems specifications and possible applications and serves as a guide point as it is expected that more influential and novel research will cyclically promote the development of such EEG systems. © 2023 IEEE.

Real-time temperature correction for magnetoresistive biosensors integrated with temperature modulator

Magnetoresistance-based biosensors utilize changes in electrical resistance upon varying magnetic fields to measure biological molecules or events involved with magnetic tags. However, electrical resistance fluctuates with temperature. To decouple unwanted temperature-dependent signals from the signal of interest, various methods have been proposed to correct signals from magnetoresistance-based biosensors. Yet, there is still a need for a temperature correction method capable of instantaneously correcting signals from all sensors in an array, as multiple biomarkers need to be detected simultaneously with a group of sensors in a central laboratory or point-of-care setting. Here we report a giant magnetoresistive biosensor system that enables real-time temperature correction for individual sensors using temperature correction coefficients obtained through a temperature sweep generated by an integrated temperature modulator. The algorithm with individual temperature correction coefficients obviously outperformed that using the average temperature correction coefficient. Further, temperature regulation did not eliminate temperature-dependent signals completely. To demonstrate that the method can be used in biomedical applications where large temperature variations are involved, binding kinetics experiments and melting curve analysis were conducted with the temperature correction method. The method successfully removed all temperature-dependent artifacts and thus produced more precise kinetic parameters and melting temperatures of DNA hybrids. © 2023 The Authors

A new statistical test is proposed for detecting isolated spectral peaks in regions with flat spectra. It reflects a normalization of the local F-test, which is commonly used in audiology to lead to values bounded between 0 and 1. The probability density function of the new detector was derived for both the cases of lack and presence of evoked responses, which allowed obtaining the confidence limits and the probability of detection. Simulation studies were carried out to confirm the theoretical results, and the technique was applied to the electroencephalogram during auditory stimulation by amplitude-modulated tones. The proposed technique has detection power similar to other local detectors. However, it has the advantage of making the detector time-evolution visualization easier since it is always bounded between zero and one. © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Melanoma is the most lethal skin malignancy. Fucoxanthin is a marine carotenoid with significant anticancer activities. Intriguingly, Fucoxanthin's impact on human melanoma remains elusive. Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) represents a promising target in cancer therapy due to its persistent activation in various cancers, including melanoma. Herein, we revealed that Fucoxanthin is cytotoxic to human melanoma cell lines A2758 and A375 while showing limited cytotoxicity to normal human melanocytes. Apoptosis is a primary reason for Fucoxanthin's melanoma cytotoxicity, as the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk drastically abrogated Fucoxanthin-elicited clonogenicity blockage. Besides, Fucoxanthin downregulated tyrosine 705-phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3 (Y705)), either inherently present in melanoma cells or inducible by interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation. Notably, ectopic expression of STAT3-C, a dominant-active STAT3 mutant, abolished Fucoxanthin-elicited melanoma cell apoptosis and clonogenicity inhibition, supporting the pivotal role of STAT3 blockage in Fucoxanthin's melanoma cytotoxicity. Moreover, Fucoxanthin lowered BCL-xL levels by blocking STAT3 activation, while ectopic BCL-xL expression rescued melanoma cells from Fucoxanthin-induced killing. Lastly, Fucoxanthin was found to diminish the levels of JAK2 with dual phosphorylation at tyrosine residues 1007 and 1008 in melanoma cells, suggesting that Fucoxanthin impairs STAT3 signaling by blocking JAK2 activation. Collectively, we present the first evidence that Fucoxanthin is cytotoxic selectively against human melanoma cells while sparing normal melanocytes. Mechanistically, Fucoxanthin targets the JAK2/STAT3/BCL-xL antiapoptotic axis to provoke melanoma cell death. This discovery implicates the potential application of Fucoxanthin as a chemopreventive or therapeutic strategy for melanoma management. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

On the Disinfection of Electrochemical Aptamer-Based Sensors

ECS Sensors Plus 2022年第1期1卷 011604页

Electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensors encompass the only biosensor approach yet reported that is simultaneously: (1) independent of the chemical or enzymatic reactivity of its target, rendering it general;(2) continuous and lag-free;and (3) selective enough to deploy in situ in the living body. Consistent with this, in vivo EAB sensors supporting the seconds-resolved, real-time measurement of multiple drugs and metabolites have been reported, suggesting the approach may prove of value in biomedical research and the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease. However, to apply these devices in long-duration animal models, much less in human patients, requires that they be free of any significant pathogen load. Thus motivated, here we have characterized the compatibility of EAB sensors with standard sterilization and high-level disinfection techniques. Doing so, we find that, while many lead to significant sensor degradation, treatment with CIDEX OPA (0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde) leads to effective disinfection without causing any detectable loss in sensor performance. © 2022 The Author(s).

Early retinal vascular changes in diseases such as diabetic retinopathy often occur at a microscopic level. Accurate evaluation of retinal vascular networks at a micro-level could significantly improve our understanding of angiopathology and potentially aid ophthalmologists in disease assessment and management. Multiple angiogram-related retinal imaging modalities, including fundus, optical coherence tomography angiography, and fluorescence angiography, project continuous, inter-connected retinal microvascular networks into imaging domains. However, extracting the microvascular network, which includes arterioles, venules, and capillaries, is challenging due to the limited contrast and resolution. As a result, the vascular network often appears as fragmented segments. In this paper, we propose a backbone-agnostic Masked Vascular Structure Segmentation and Completion (MaskVSC) method to reconstruct the retinal vascular network. MaskVSC simulates missing sections of blood vessels and uses this simulation to train the model to predict the missing parts and their connections. This approach simulates highly heterogeneous forms of vessel breaks and mitigates the need for massive data labeling. Accordingly, we introduce a connectivity loss function that penalizes interruptions in the vascular network. Our findings show that masking 40% of the segments yields optimal performance in reconstructing the interconnected vascular network. We test our method on three different types of retinal images across five separate datasets. The results demonstrate that MaskVSC outperforms state-of-the-art methods in maintaining vascular network completeness and segmentation accuracy. Furthermore, MaskVSC has been introduced to different segmentation backbones and has successfully improved performance. The code and 2PFM data are available at: https://***/Zhouyi-Zura/MaskVSC .

Solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) techniques are critical for developing and using peptides in various biomedical applications. However, typical synthesis routes used in SPPS are either resource-intensive (e.g., with automated synthesis or commercial services) or time-consuming (e.g., with manual benchtop synthesis). Here, a rapid manual synthesis method was developed to produce up to 8 peptides with fast cycle times simultaneously. Peptides synthesized manually were of equivalent or superior quality to those produced by in-house microwave-assisted automated peptide synthesis, with higher average crude purity of 70% compared to 50%. The method significantly reduced synthesis time, enabling the parallel coupling of up to 8 amino acids simultaneously in 15–20 min, as opposed to traditional benchtop peptide synthesis, which requires 80–150 min per amino acid. This approach offers an intermediate throughput between milligram-scale libraries and gram-scale single peptide synthesis, enabling rapid iteration for novel peptide designs without the need for expensive automated systems. As a result, peptide modifications, including incorporation of unnatural amino acids, can be explored, accelerating the development of peptides for a wide range of applications. © 2025 The Author(s).

High-quality fluorescence imaging of biological systems is limited by processes like photobleaching and phototoxicity, and also in many cases, by limited access to the latest generations of microscopes. Moreover, low temporal resolution can lead to a motion blur effect in living systems. Our work presents a deep learning (DL) generative-adversarial approach to the problem of obtaining high-quality (HQ) images based on their low-quality (LQ) equivalents. We propose a generative-adversarial network (GAN) for contrast transfer between two different separate microscopy systems: a confocal microscope (producing HQ images) and a wide-field fluorescence microscope (producing LQ images). Our model proves that such transfer is possible, allowing us to receive HQ-generated images characterized by low mean squared error (MSE) values, high structural similarity index (SSIM), and high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) values. For our best model in the case of comparing HQ-generated images and HQ-ground truth images, the median values of the metrics are 6·10-4, 0.9413, and 31.87, for MSE, SSIM, and PSNR, respectively. In contrast, in the case of comparison between LQ and HQ ground truth median values of the metrics are equal to 0.0071, 0.8304, and 21.48 for MSE, SSIM, and PSNR respectively. Therefore, we observe a significant increase ranging from 14% to 49% for SSIM and PSNR respectively. These results, together with other single-system cross-modality studies, provide proof of concept for further implementation of a cross-system biological image quality enhancement. © 2024, CC BY-SA.

Gold Nanoparticles/Thermochromic Composite Film on Screen-Printed Electrodes for Simultaneous Detection of Protein and Temperature

引用

Journal of Biomaterials and Nanobiotechnology 2021年第2期12卷 7-19页

In this study, gold nanoparticles and thermochromic composite films modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (TM-AuNPsSPCEs) were developed as a platform for the simultaneous detection of protein and temperature. The TM-AuNPs composited film had better sensitivity resulting from the gold nanoparticles amplification effect. A phase transition model analysis of TM-AuNPs films found that the TM-AuNPs films had three-phase transition intervals (<45℃, 45℃ to 80℃ and >80℃) which accommodated the temperature requirements for protein denaturation. When used to detect different concentrations of haemoglobin (Hb) solution, the TM-AuNPs modified SPCEs had a better sensitivity in detecting the different concentrations in comparison to TM and AuNP modified SPCEs which showed no clear sensitivity towards the different Hb concentrations. The dual detection and excellent sensitivity show a good application prospect for the study of the TM-AuNPs composite film.
