| 1 | A wireless, implantable optoelectrochemical probe for optogenetic stimulation and dopamine detection显示文摘Physical and chemical technologies have been continuously progressing advances in neuroscience research.The development of research tools for closed-loop control and monitoring neural activities in behaving animals is highly desirable.In this paper,we introduce a wirelessly operated,miniaturized microprobe system for optical interrogation and neurochemical sensing in the deep brain.Via epitaxial liftoff and transfer printing,microscale light-emitting diodes(micro-LEDs)as light sources and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT:PSS)-coated diamond films as electrochemical sensors are vertically assembled to form implantable optoelectrochemical probes for real-time optogenetic stimulation and dopamine detection capabilities.A customized,lightweight circuit module is employed for untethered,remote signal control,and data acquisition.After the probe is injected into the ventral tegmental area(VTA)of freely behaving mice,in vivo experiments clearly demonstrate the utilities of the multifunctional optoelectrochemical microprobe system for optogenetic interference of place preferences and detection of dopamine release.The presented options for material and device integrations provide a practical route to simultaneous optical control and electrochemical sensing of complex nervous systems. | Changbo Liu Yu Zhao Xue Cai Yang Xie Taoyi Wang Dali Cheng Lizhu Li Rongfeng Li Yuping Deng He Ding Guoqing Lv Guanlei Zhao Lei Liu Guisheng Zou Meixin Feng Qian Sun Lan Yin Xing Sheng | 2020 | Microsystems & Nanoengineering2020,6,1: | 3 |
| 2 | Systematic bio‑fabrication of aptamers and their applications in engineering biology显示文摘Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that have high affinity and selectivity to bind to specific targets.Compared to antibodies,aptamers are easy to in vitro synthesize with low cost,and exhibit excellent thermal stability and programmability.With these features,aptamers have been widely used in biology and medicine-related fields.In the meantime,a variety of systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment(SELEX)technologies have been developed to screen aptamers for various targets.According to the characteristics of targets,customizing appropriate SELEX technology and post-SELEX optimization helps to obtain ideal aptamers with high affinity and specificity.In this review,we first summarize the latest research on the systematic bio-fabrication of aptamers,including various SELEX technologies,post-SELEX optimization,and aptamer modification technology.These procedures not only help to gain the aptamer sequences but also provide insights into the relationship between structure and function of the aptamers.The latter provides a new perspective for the systems bio-fabrication of aptamers.Furthermore,on this basis,we review the applications of aptamers,particularly in the fields of engineering biology,including industrial biotechnology,medical and health engineering,and environmental and food safety monitoring.And the encountered challenges and prospects are discussed,providing an outlook for the future development of aptamers. | Rongfeng Cai Xin Chen Yuting Zhang Xiaoli Wang Nandi Zhou | 2023 | Systems Microbiology and Biomanufacturing2023,3,2: | 0 |
| 3 | High auxin stimulates callus through SDG8-mediated histone H3K36 methylation in Arabidopsis显示文摘Callus induction,which results in fate transition in plant cells,is considered as the first and key step for plant regeneration.This process can be stimulated in different tissues by a callus-inducing medium(CIM),which contains a high concentration of phytohormone auxin.Although a few key regulators for callus induction have been identified,the multiple aspects of the regulatory mechanism driven by high levels of auxin still need further investigation.Here,we find that high auxin induces callus through a H3 K36 histone methylation-dependent mechanism,which requires the methyltransferase SET DOMAIN GROUP 8(SDG8).During callus induction,the increased auxin accumulates SDG8 expression through a TIR1/AFBs-based transcriptional regulation.SDG8 then deposits H3 K36 me3 modifications on the loci of callus-related genes,including a master regulator WOX5 and the cell proliferation-related genes,such as CYCB1.1.This epigenetic regulation in turn is required for the transcriptional activation of these genes during callus formation.These findings suggest that the massive transcriptional reprogramming for cell fate transition by auxin during callus formation requires epigenetic modifications including SDG8-mediated histone H3 K36 methylation.Our results provide insight into the coordination between auxin signaling and epigenetic regulation during fundamental processes in plant development. | Jun Ma Qiang Li Lei Zhang Sen Cai Yuanyuan Liu Juncheng Lin Rongfeng Huang Yongqiang Yu Mingzhang Wen Tongda Xu | 2022 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2022,64,12: | 0 |
| 4 | A Discussion on the Constitution Factors of Thin Endometrium Based on the Theory of Qi and Blood显示文摘Thin endometrium has been proven to be a key contributing factor leading to infertility and poor pregnancy outcomes.Increasing the thickness and capacity of thin endometrium seems to be one of the challenging issues in reproductive medicine.The states of qi and blood are closely related to uterine blood circulation.Constitution is regarded as an important basis for determining the incidence as well as distinguishing,preventing,and treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.Based on the theory of qi and blood,this paper discusses the constitution factors of thin endometrium and puts forward the prospect of using big data tools to investigate the correlation between qi-blood imbalance constitution and the incidence of thin endometrium,so as to explore new approaches for the prevention and treatment of thin endometrium by regulating qi and blood as well as improving the constitution condition. | Yuchun Qian Rongfeng Pu Jing Cai | 2022 | Journal of Clinical and Nursing Research2022,6,4: | 0 |
