    Abstract As one of the most common noninfectious diseases, diabetes and diabetic complications (DDC) have attracted great attention in the field of life and health. However, simultaneous detection of DDC markers usually requires labor- and time-consuming steps. Here, a novel cloth-based single-working-electrode electrochemiluminescence (SWE-ECL) sensor was designed for the simultaneous detection of multiple DDC markers. For this sensor, three independent ECL cells are distributed on the SWE, which is a simplification of the configuration of traditional sensors for simultaneous detection. In this way, the modification processes and ECL reactions occur at the back of the SWE, eliminating the adverse effects caused by human intervention on the electrode. Under optimized conditions, glucose, uric acid and lactate were determined, with corresponding linear dynamic ranges of 80-4000 μM, 45-1200 μM and 60-2000 μM, and detection limits of 54.79 μM, 23.95 μM and 25.82 μM, respectively. In addition, the cloth-based SWE-ECL sensor exhibited good specificity and satisfactory reproducibility, and its actual application potential was verified by measuring complex human serum samples. Overall, this work developed a simple, sensitive, low-cost and rapid method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of multiple markers related to DDC and demonstrated a new route for multiple-marker detection.

    Abstract Here, we present a protocol to characterize the antiviral ability of a protein of interest to SARS-CoV-2 infection in cultured cells, using MUC1 as an example. We use SARS-CoV-2 ΔN trVLP system, which utilizes transcription and replication-competent SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles lacking nucleocapsid gene. We describe the optimized procedure to analyze protein interference of viral attachment and entry into cells, and qRT-PCR-based quantification of viral infection. The protocol can be applied to characterize more antiviral candidates and clarify their functioning stage. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lai et al.

    Abstract Papaya is a climacteric fruit that undergoes rapid ripening and quality deterioration during postharvest storage, resulting in significant economic losses. This study employed biochemical techniques and targeted metabolomics to investigate the impact of exogenous AsA + CTS application on the energy metabolism regulation of papaya fruit during postharvest storage. We found that AsA + CTS treatment significantly increased the levels of key metabolic compounds and enzymes, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and the energy charge, as well as the succinic acid content and the activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), H

    Abstract Due to the complex high-order structures and interactions of proteins within an aqueous solution, a majority of chemical functionalizations happen on the hydrophilic sites of protein external surfaces which are naturally exposed to the solution.

    Abstract Quadruped robots have strong adaptability to extreme environments but may also experience faults. Once these faults occur, robots must be repaired before returning to the task, reducing their practical feasibility. One prevalent concern among these faults is actuator degradation, stemming from factors like device aging or unexpected operational events. Traditionally, addressing this problem has relied heavily on intricate fault-tolerant design, which demands deep domain expertise from developers and lacks generalizability. Learning-based approaches offer effective ways to mitigate these limitations, but a research gap exists in effectively deploying such methods on real-world quadruped robots. This paper introduces a pioneering teacher-student framework rooted in reinforcement learning, named Actuator Degradation Adaptation Transformer (ADAPT), aimed at addressing this research gap. This framework produces a unified control strategy, enabling the robot to sustain its locomotion and perform tasks despite sudden joint actuator faults, relying exclusively on its internal sensors. Empirical evaluations on the Unitree A1 platform validate the deployability and effectiveness of Adapt on real-world quadruped robots, and affirm the robustness and practicality of our approach.

    Abstract Excessive phosphorus (P) enters the water bodies via wastewater discharges or agricultural runoff, triggering serious environmental problems such as eutrophication. In contrast, P as an irreplaceable key resource, presents notable supply-demand contradictions due to ineffective recovery mechanisms. Hence, constructing a system that simultaneously reduce P contaminants and effective recycling has profound theoretical and practical implications. Metal element-based adsorbents, including metal (hydro) oxides, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), exhibit a significant chaperone effect stemming from strong orbital hybridization between their intrinsic Lewis acid sites and P (Lewis base). This review aims to parse the structure-effect relationship between metal element-based adsorbents and P, and explores how to optimize the P removal properties. Special emphasis is given to the formation of the metal-P chemical bond, which not only depends on the type of metal in the adsorbent but also closely relates to its surface activity and pore structure. Then, we delve into the intrinsic mechanisms behind these adsorbents' remarkable adsorption capacity and precise targeting. Finally, we offer an insightful discussion of the prospects and challenges of metal element-based adsorbents in terms of precise material control, large-scale production, P-directed adsorption and effective utilization.

    Abstract Objective: Proteomics may discover pathophysiological changes related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), an aggressive and lethal type of cancer with low sensitivity for early-stage diagnosis.
    Design: We measured 1,305 pre-diagnostic (median 12.7 years) SOMAscan proteins from 54 pairs of healthy individuals who subsequently developed HCC and matched non-HCC controls from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS). Candidate proteins were validated in the independent, prospective UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP).
    Results: In NHS/HPFS, we identified 56 elevated proteins in HCC with absolute fold-change >1.2 and Wald test P < .05 in conditional logistic regression analysis. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified enrichment of pathways associated with cell viability, adhesion, proteolysis, apoptosis, and inflammatory response. Four proteins, chitinase-3-like protein 1, growth/differentiation factor 15, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein, and E-selectin, showed strong positive associations with HCC and were thus validated by ELISA (odds ratio ranged 2.48-14.7, all P < .05) in the NHS/HPFS and by Olink platform (hazard ratio ranged 1.90-3.93, all P < .05) in the UKB-PPP. Adding these four proteins to a logistic regression model of traditional HCC risk factors increased the area under the curve (AUC) from 0.67 to 0.87 in the NHS/HPFS. Consistently, model AUC was 0.88 for HCC risk prediction in the UKB-PPP.
    Conclusion: However, the limited number of HCC cases in the cohorts necessitates caution in interpreting our findings, emphasizing the need for further validation in high-risk populations.
