Summary: A novel glucose-sensitive membrane with P(NIPAM-2-AAPBA) microgels as chemical valves was fabricated. Unlike other PBA-based materials, this membrane contracts in the presence of glucose instead of expanding. The blend membranes show improved water flux and antifouling properties compared to pure PVDF membrane. The glucose-sensitive permeability of the membranes is attributed to the conformational changes of P(NIPAM-2-AAPBA) microgels. The glucose sensitivity of the membranes increases with the increase of microgel content.

Summary: Chinese clinical biobanks in grade A tertiary hospitals have varying sizes and collections, with larger biobanks established earlier and holding a wider variety of specimens. These large-scale biobanks are more likely to be used for basic research and clinical research, as well as to collaborate with domestic research institutes. Despite the diversity in collections, distribution, and utilization of biospecimens, there are concerns about underutilization and lack of sharing that could hinder clinical and biological research.

Summary: The study found that Chinese and Finnish older adults with central obesity and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus have similar beta-cell function, but Chinese individuals are more prone to insulin resistance. There are also differences in lipid metabolism dysfunction between Chinese and Finnish populations, with Chinese individuals showing higher triglyceride levels and Finnish individuals showing higher LDL and LDL/HDL levels. Ethnic-specific strategies should be considered for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Summary: In this study, a highly sensitive lactate sensor called FiLa was developed, which allows for monitoring subtle lactate fluctuations in living cells and animals. It was found that lactate is highly enriched in mammalian mitochondria and functions as a key hub sensing various metabolic activities. The FiLa sensors also enable direct imaging of elevated lactate levels in diabetic mice and provide a simple, rapid, and sensitive lactate assay for clinical screening. Overall, the FiLa sensors are powerful and broadly applicable tools for studying lactate metabolism in health and disease.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
