    Abstract Recently, with the development of non-invasive human health monitoring technology including wearable devices, a flexible sensor that monitors 'human sound and movement signals' such as human voice and muscle movement is attracting attention. In this experiment, electrospun nanofibers were mixed with highly conductive nanoparticles and coated with polyaniline to detect the patient's electrical signals. Due to the high piezoelectric effect, nanofiber-based sensors do not require charging through a separate battery, so they can be used as self-powered devices. In addition, the LCR meter test confirmed that the sensor has a high capacitance due to its high conductivity and high sensitivity to electrical signals. The sensor produced in this study can visually estimate the electrical signal of the actual human body through real-time comparison with electromyography (EMG) measuring equipment, and it was confirmed that the error is small. This sensor is expected to be widely used in the medical field, from simple sound and movement signals to disease monitoring.

    Abstract Since the discovery that applying electrical stimulation can promote cell growth, proliferation, and tissue regeneration, research on bio-piezoelectric materials is being actively conducted. In this study, a composite material was prepared by mixing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a conventional piezoelectric polymer, and silk fibroin (SF), a natural piezoelectric material that recently attracting attention. These two polymers were fabricated into a composite fiber mat using electrospinning technology. To find optimal conditions, SF was added in various ratios to prepare electrospun PVDF/SF mats. The characteristics of these PVDF/SF composite mats were then analyzed through various evaluations and in vitro studies. It was confirmed that PVDF and SF were successfully mixed through scanning electron microscope images and structural analysis such as x-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared. The results revealed that adding an appropriate amount of SF could improve the tensile strength, enhance cell proliferation rate, and generate a voltage similar to that of a conventional PVDF-only electrospinning mat. Such fabricated electrospun PVDF/SF composite mats are expected to be useful in the bio-piezoelectric field because they can maintain piezoelectricity while compensating for the shortcomings, such as low physical properties, of a PVDF electrospun mat.

    Abstract Introduction: The liquid biopsy approach, a less-invasive diagnostic tool, enables the detection of disease-specific genetic and epigenetic aberrations. Approximately 66-69% of the human genome may be composed of transposable repetitive elements, including Alu and LINE-1. This study aimed to investigate whether Alu-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentrations, Alu index, and LINE-1 methylation could be used to distinguish patients with cancers from healthy individuals.
    Methods: Two sets of primers, shorter and longer Alu fragments, were used to amplify Alu elements, followed by the quantitation of Alu DNA concentration and its integrity index. LINE-1 methylation status was then analyzed with quantitative PCR using methylation- and unmethylation-specific TaqMan probes.
    Results: Both Alu index and LINE-1 methylation level were significantly different in comparison between patients with lung or breast cancer and the healthy controls. The area under the ROC curve of the Alu index and LINE-1 hypomethylation was 0.742 and 0.848 for lung cancer, respectively, and 0.724 and 0.890 for breast cancer, respectively. However, Alu longer fragment DNA concentration was significantly correlated with Alu index in comparison to LINE-1 hypomethylation. Regression analysis suggested that the LINE-1 methylation level, rather than the Alu index, was a good discriminator for lung and breast cancers.
    Conclusions: This study investigated the genome-wide Alu index and LINE-1 methylation status; their associations with cancers suggested that these combinatory panels could be implemented as a triage test to discriminate cancer patients from healthy individuals.

    Abstract Development of coating technologies for electrochemical sensors that consistently exhibit antifouling activities in diverse and complex biological environments over extended time is vital for effective medical devices and diagnostics. Here, we describe a micrometer-thick, porous nanocomposite coating with both antifouling and electroconducting properties that enhances the sensitivity of electrochemical sensors. Nozzle printing of oil-in-water emulsion is used to create a 1 micrometer thick coating composed of cross-linked albumin with interconnected pores and gold nanowires. The layer resists biofouling and maintains rapid electron transfer kinetics for over one month when exposed directly to complex biological fluids, including serum and nasopharyngeal secretions. Compared to a thinner (nanometer thick) antifouling coating made with drop casting or a spin coating of the same thickness, the thick porous nanocomposite sensor exhibits sensitivities that are enhanced by 3.75- to 17-fold when three different target biomolecules are tested. As a result, emulsion-coated, multiplexed electrochemical sensors can carry out simultaneous detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid, antigen, and host antibody in clinical specimens with high sensitivity and specificity. This thick porous emulsion coating technology holds promise in addressing hurdles currently restricting the application of electrochemical sensors for point-of-care diagnostics, implantable devices, and other healthcare monitoring systems.

    Abstract Solution-based thin-film processing is a widely utilized technique for the fabrication of various devices. In particular, the tunability of the ink composition and coating condition allows precise control of thin-film properties and device performance. Despite the advantage of having such tunability, the sheer number of possible combinations of experimental parameters render it infeasible to efficiently optimize device performance and analyze the correlation between experimental parameters and device performance. In this work, a microfluidic screening-embedded thin-film processing technique is developed, through which thin-films of varying ratios of small molecule semiconductor:polymer blend are simultaneously generated and screened in a time- and resource-efficient manner. Moreover, utilizing the thin-films of varying combinations of experimental parameters, machine learning models are trained to predict the transistor performance. Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) algorithms tuned by Bayesian optimization shows the best predictive accuracy amongst the trained models, which enables narrowing down of the combinations of experimental parameters and investigation of the degree of vertical phase separation under the predicted parameter space. The technique can serve as a guideline for elucidating the underlying complex parameter-property-performance correlations in solution-based thin-film processing, thereby accelerating the optimization of various thin-film devices in the future.

    Abstract Cellulose and its derivatives are widely used as nanofibrous biomaterials, but obtaining 3D cellulose nanofibers is difficult and relevant research is scarce. In the present study, we propose a simple method for converting electrospun 3D cellulose acetate/lactic acid nanofibers via calcium hydroxide treatment into a 3D cellulose/calcium lactate nanocomposite matrix. The conversion resulted in producing a stronger nanofibrous matrix (1.382 MPa vs. 0.112 MPa) that is more hydrophilic and cell-friendly compared to the untreated cellulose acetate/lactic acid group. The successful conversion was verified via FTIR, XPS, TGA, DTG, and XRD. The ability of the scaffolds to provide a suitable environment for cell growth and infiltration was verified by CCK assay and confocal microscopy. The porous nature, mechanical strength, and presence of calcium make the 3D cellulose/calcium lactate matrix a promising material for bone tissue engineering.

The Pt-AuNPs nanoparticle in core-satellite form has been prepared by following solution based methods and characterized with TEM, HR-TEM, UV-Visible, and XRD spectroscopic techniques. The surface morphology and structural analysis of 3D nanofiber scaffolds have been performed with FTIR, TGA, FESEM, and HR-TEM analysis techniques and shown the successful preparation of 3D electrospun fibrous structure composed of Pt-AuNPs loaded PCL (PCL@Pt-AuNPs) as a potential biomaterial for bone tissue engineering applications.

    Abstract Currently, due to the lack of precise control of flow behavior and the understanding of how it influences thin-film crystallization, strict tuning of thin-film properties during solution-based coating is difficult. In this work, a continuous-flow microfluidic-channel-based meniscus-guided coating (CoMiC) is introduced, which is a system that enables manipulation of flow patterns and analysis connecting flow pattern, crystallization, and thin-film properties. Continuous supply of a solution of an organic semiconductor with various flow patterns is generated using microfluidic channels. 3D numerical simulations and in situ microscopy allow the tracking of the flow pattern along its entire path (from within the microfluidic channel to near the liquid-solid boundary), and enable direct observation of thin-film crystallization process. In particular, the generation of chaotic flow results in unprecedented device-to-device uniformity, with coefficient of variation (CV) of 7.3% and average mobility of 2.04 cm

    Abstract The commercialization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries has been hampered by diverse challenges, including the shuttle phenomenon and low electrical/ionic conductivity of lithium sulfide and sulfur. To address these issues, extensive research has been devoted to developing multifunctional interlayers. However, interlayers capable of simultaneously suppressing the polysulfide (PS) shuttle and ensuring stable electrical and ionic conductivity are relatively uncommon. Moreover, the use of thick and heavy interlayers results in an unavoidable decline in the energy density of Li-S batteries. We developed an ultrathin (750 nm), lightweight (0.182 mg cm
