Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a leading risk factor for the global burden of disease. However, uncertainty remains about PM2.5 sources. We use a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) simulation for 2014, constrained by satellite-based estimates of PM2.5 to interpret gl...

Abstract. Ground-based observations have insufficient spatial coverage to assess long-term human exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at the global scale. Satellite remote sensing offers a promising approach to provide information on both short- and long-term exposure to PM2.5 at local-to-glo...

Current techniques for visualizing and quantifying cellular forces have limitations in live cell imaging, throughput, and multi-scale analysis, which impede progress in cell force research and its practical applications. We developed a photonic crystal cellular force microscopy (PCCFM) to image vert...

A significant number of pollutants in wastewater can be electrocatalytically oxidized by SnO2-Sb, a relatively inactive electrode. However, the arduous process of environmental remediation due to poor electrochemical performance and short service life of the traditional Ti/SnO2-Sb electrode. In this...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a cancer-like proliferative disease, which has no curative treatment options. The dysfunction of pulmonary artery endothelial cells plays a key role in PH. DKK1 (Dickkopf 1) is a secretory glycoprotein that exerts proproliferative effects on tumor cells. In...

Dear Editor, Breath analysis is a promising diagnostic approach for various conditions [1, 2]. It is based on the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted in the breath, which creates a unique volatolomic signature [3]. Owing to their characteristics, VOCs can be measured non-intr...

Abstract The Einstein Probe (EP) achieved its first detection and localization of a bright X-ray flare, EP240219a, on 2024 February 19, during its commissioning phase. Subsequent targeted searches triggered by the EP240219a alert identified a faint, untriggered gamma-ray burst (GRB) in the archived ...

We use a conventional and straightforward route to fabricate scalable morphology-controlled regular structures. This route is based on the etching of PDMS microlens array in CF4 and CF4/O2 plasma. PDMS microlens array can be changed to regularly isolated microdot structures array in CF4 plasma. Micr...

Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) was recently shown to play an important role in cardiovascular disease. The aim of this work was to assess the role of DKK1 in the regulation of smooth muscle cell function by mechanical stretch and the mechanisms underlying this process. Methods: Wild-type C57BL/6J mice were subje...
