Summary: This study demonstrates that the addition of dimethylglycine (DMG) improves the recovery rate of thawed red blood cells (RBCs) and reduces mechanical and oxidative damage. The properties of thawed RBCs remain similar to fresh RBCs. By using the TOPSIS method, DMG is identified as the most efficient cryoprotectant among glycerol (Gly), hydroxyethyl starch (HES), and DMG. DMG can serve as a novel cryoprotectant for RBC cryopreservation and potentially enhance clinical transfusion therapy.

Summary: An accurate far-field intensity distribution model of coherent VCSEL array based on Fraunhofer diffraction theory is established, and the calculated far-field pattern can be configured by tuning the phase distribution of the array. Configurable beam emissions are achieved in experiments, and the results are in good agreement with the established theoretical model.

Summary: Raman spectroscopy was used to study the effects of GSM mobile phone signals on red blood cells, revealing reduced hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and altered metabolic activities in the exposed cells. Further experiments confirmed an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels and observable changes in shape and mechanical properties due to exposure to the mobile signals.

Summary: When white light laser is focused on liquids, colorful interference rings known as coherent rainbows can be observed, with their formation mechanism mainly attributed to the laser heating effect on the temperature distribution and refractive index of the liquid. The properties of the liquid, such as density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity, play a key role in determining the shape and number of rings in the coherent rainbows.

Summary: Red blood cells (RBCs) are abundant cells in the body with unique biological and physical properties. Due to their low immunogenicity, long-circulating cycle, and immune characteristics, RBCs have shown great potential as delivery vehicles. This article compares the physiological and physical characteristics of RBCs, analyzes their advantages in delivery systems, and summarizes their applications in biomedicine.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of GPS on oxidatively damaged RBCs and explore the molecular mechanisms from the perspective of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. The results showed that GPS effectively protected RBCs from oxidative stress damage, promoted glycolysis, and regulated antioxidant defense system and energy metabolism. GPS achieved these effects by activating the PGC-1 alpha pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis.

Summary: An important issue in cancer chemotherapy is reducing side effects, such as anemia caused by the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. This study found that chemotherapy drugs have a noticeable toxic effect on red blood cells (RBCs), but the effect is lower than drugs that disrupt cell division. By simulating RBCs' transport in microchannels, researchers assessed the cells' functionality and the drugs' therapeutic doses, which could be used to minimize anemia side effects during cancer chemotherapy.

Summary: The temperature dependence of the structure and ground state properties of NH4ReO4 were investigated using NPD and DFT. The anomalous thermal contraction in NH4ReO4 was found to be caused by thermally induced rotational disorder of the NH4 groups, which also led to the unusual tetragonal distortion of the material.

Summary: Protein therapeutics have high selectivity and potency, but are often limited by short half-lives and off-target effects. This study introduces a targeted protein delivery system using engineered red blood cells and light-triggered hemolysis for drug release. The strategy shows spatiotemporal control and successful delivery of therapeutic proteins in vitro and in vivo.
