Spatial and Temporal Variability of Saxitoxin-Producing Cyanobacterial in US Urban Lakes
Toxins, 2024, Youchul Jeon et al.
"In this study, we assessed eleven U.S. urban lakes using qPCR, sxtA gene-targeting sequencing, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to understand the spatio-temporal variations in cyanobacteria and their potential role in STX production...Chlorophyll a (CHL) was determined using EPA Method 445.0. Cell count was determined along with cyanobacterial identification utilizing FlowCam 8400."
Aspherical, Nano-Structured Drug Delivery System with Tunable Release and Clearance for Pulmonary Applications
Pharmaceutics, 2024, Pioch et al.
"Addressing the challenge of efficient drug delivery to the lungs, a nano-structured, microparticulate carrier system with defined and customizable dimensions has been developed. Utilizing a template-assisted approach and capillary forces, particles were rapidly loaded and stabilized. The system employs a biocompatible alginate gel as a stabilizing matrix, facilitating the breakdown of the carrier in body fluids with the subsequent release of its nano-load, while also mitigating long-term accumulation in the lung. Different gel strengths and stabilizing steps were applied, allowing us to tune the release kinetics, as evaluated by a quantitative method based on a flow-imaging system."
Toward One-Way Smoke: Synthesis of Copper-Based Microclubs with Asymmetric Scattering and Absorption
Advanced Functional Materials, 2024, Guo et al.
"The ultimate goal of this work is to create an engineered aerosol that acts as one-way smoke, i.e. it creates an asymmetric vision environment in which the ability to image objects depends on the viewing direction. To this end, a rapid, one-pot synthesis of copper-based microclubs is developed that consists of a Cu2O octahedron attached to a Cu2O@Cu shaft. Millions of synthesized particles are analyzed in minutes with a FlowCam to provide a robust statistical analysis of their geometry, and rapidly elucidate the roles of the reaction constituents on the particle shape and yield."
