In this study, Wang et al. explored the potential pathogenesis of chronic social defeat stress (CSDS)-induced depressive-like behaviour in mice using 10× Visium spatial transcriptomics (ST) technique. Many of the depression-related gene changes were identified and more pronounced in the hippocampus (HIP), cortex (Isocortex), and amygdala (AMY) in susceptible (SUS) mice compared to control and resilient …
There is an increased interest in the use of non-spherical nanoparticles for drug delivery as they often display better blood circulation time. However, there is little understanding of the behaviour of these nanoparticles in blood flow. Microfluidic devices can now gain better insight as alignment of anisotropic nanoparticles as well as their margination towards the …

There is still no epidemic surveillance system, implementing prevention and control measures is slow and inefficient. This study developed a rapid point-of-care (POC) testing device for detecting pathogens. Through multi-device networking, an early monitoring and warning system for major infectious diseases was developed. This study makes a contribution to the urgent need for a system …
This study presents a novel surface modification approach aimed at enhancing the biomedical applications of Salmonella. By employing a facile surface engineering technique involving pH-responsive polyserotonin (PST) and self-activated DNAzyme, the immune clearance and non-specific colonization of Salmonella can be effectively mitigated. The PST coating exhibits the ability to disassemble in acidic tumor microenvironments, thereby facilitating the controlled …
