Blue light-emitting diode irradiation promotes transcription factor EB-mediated lysosome biogenesis and lysosomal cell death in murine photoreceptor-derived cells
摘要： Exposure to blue light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is a source of damage for human eyes in today’s modern life. Although it is well known that blue light can cause cellular damage and death, the molecular mechanism underlying this is still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that exposure to blue LED light increased lysosome levels and perinuclear cluster formation in 661W murine photoreceptor-derived cells. Irradiation with blue LED light promoted the nuclear transport of transcription factor EB (TFEB) and a subsequent increase in lysosomal-related gene expression. Moreover, blue LED light induced morphological changes in lysosomal structure and lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP). These effects were suppressed by an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Finally, a calcium ion chelator, BAPTA-AM, attenuated blue LED light-induced lysosomal biogenesis and cell death. Taken together, these findings suggest that oxidative stress under blue LED light increases lysosome levels via the TFEB pathway in a calcium-dependent manner, resulting in the accumulation of damaged lysosomes and subsequently lysosomal cell death. Our results imply that lysosomal homeostasis plays a key role in the maintenance of eye function and the progression of retinal diseases.

All-Poly(Ionic Liquid) Membrane-Derived Porous Carbon Membranes: Scalable Synthesis and Application for Photothermal Conversion in Seawater Desalination
摘要： Herein we introduce a straightforward, scalable and technologically relevant strategy to manufacture charged porous polymer membranes (CPMs) in a controllable manner. The pore sizes and porous architectures of CPMs are well-controlled by rational choice of anions in poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs). Continuously, heteroatom-doped hierarchically porous carbon membrane (HCMs) can be readily fabricated via morphology-maintaining carbonization of as-prepared CPMs. These HCMs being as photothermal membranes exhibited excellent performance for solar seawater desalination, representing a promising strategy to construct advanced functional nanomaterials for portable water production technologies.

An approach for broad molecular imaging of the root-soil interface via indirect matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
摘要： Understanding rhizospheric processes is limited by the need for imaging complex molecular transformations at relevant spatial scales within the root soil continuum. Here, we demonstrate a method to enable this analysis by first extracting organic compounds from the rhizosphere onto a PVDF membrane while maintaining their 2D distribution and then imaging the distribution of chemical compounds using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). This approach permitted us to visualize and identify compounds on the root surface and presumed root exudates in the rhizosphere. Within a 1.8 cm x 0.6 cm sampling area of a switchgrass rhizosphere, we could observe at least four chemically distinct zones. Using high performance Fourier transform ion cyclotron MS, we were able to accurately annotate numerous molecules co-localized to each of these zones.

Application of Colloidal Precipitation Method Using Sodium Polymethacrylate as Dispersant for TiO <sub/>2</sub> /PVDF Membrane Preparation and Its Antifouling Properties
摘要： Immobilized titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on flat sheet polymeric membranes have been found effective for fouling reduction in recent researches. The main challenge in this field is to obtain ultrafine and stable nanodispersions. In this study, composite polyvinylidene fluoride/TiO2 (PVDF/TiO2) ultrafiltration membranes were prepared via phase inversion and colloidal precipitation method. Stable TiO2 suspensions were prepared using sodium polymethacrylate as dispersant and sonication without altering of the coagulation bath pH. The effect of different concentrations of TiO2 nanoparticles in the coagulation bath was also investigated. The membrane morphology (distribution of nanoparticles on the membrane surface) was observed by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. Properties of the neat and the composite membranes were also characterized using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and contact angle and membrane porosity measurements. The neat and the composite membranes were further investigated in terms of bovine serum albumin rejection and flux decline in cross flow filtration experiments. The results showed that the PVDF/TiO2 composite membrane using dimethylacetamide/triethyl phosphate as solvent and 0.05 g/L of TiO2 in the coagulation bath exhibits improved antifouling properties.

Ultrahigh Conductivity and Superior Interfacial Adhesion of a Nanostructured, Photonic Sintered Copper Membrane for Printed Flexible Hybrid Electronics
摘要： Inkjet-printed electronics using metal particles typically lack electrical conductivity and interfacial adhesion with an underlying substrate. To address the inherent issues of printed materials, this paper introduces advanced materials and processing methodologies. Enhanced adhesion of the inkjet-printed copper (Cu) on a flexible polyimide film is achieved by using a new surface modification technique, a nanostructured self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. A standardized adhesion test reveals the superior adhesion strength (1192.27 N/m) of printed Cu on the polymer film, while maintaining extreme mechanical flexibility proven by 100,000 bending cycles. In addition to the increased adhesion, the nanostructured SAM treatment on printed Cu prevents formation of native oxide layers. Combined with newly synthesized Cu ink and associated sintering technique with an intense pulsed ultraviolet and visible light absorption, it enables ultrahigh conductivity of printed Cu (2.3 x 10-6 ??cm), which is the highest electrical conductivity reported to date. The comprehensive materials engineering technologies offer highly reliable printing of Cu patterns for immediate use in wearable flexible hybrid electronics. In vivo demonstration of printed, skin-conformal Cu electrodes indicates a very low skin-electrode impedance (< 50 k?) without a conductive gel and successfully measures three types of biopotentials, including electrocardiograms, electromyograms, and electrooculograms.

High-efficiency optogenetic silencing with soma-targeted anion-conducting channelrhodopsins
摘要： Optogenetic silencing allows time-resolved functional interrogation of defined neuronal populations. However, the limitations of inhibitory optogenetic tools impose stringent constraints on experimental paradigms. The high light power requirement of light-driven ion pumps and their effects on intracellular ion homeostasis pose unique challenges, particularly in experiments that demand inhibition of a widespread neuronal population in vivo. Guillardia theta anion-conducting channelrhodopsins (GtACRs) are promising in this regard, due to their high single-channel conductance and favorable photon-ion stoichiometry. However, GtACRs show poor membrane targeting in mammalian cells, and the activity of such channels can cause transient excitation in the axon due to an excitatory chloride reversal potential in this compartment. Here, we address these problems by enhancing membrane targeting and subcellular compartmentalization of GtACRs. The resulting soma-targeted GtACRs show improved photocurrents, reduced axonal excitation and high light sensitivity, allowing highly efficient inhibition of neuronal activity in the mammalian brain.

Deformation of Charged Graphene Membrane
摘要： Geometrical capacitors with memory (memcapacitors) are of interest because of potential applications in future computing machines. When employing a buckled membrane as one of the capacitor plates, two possible buckled positions serve as the states of low and high capacitance. Using the hybrid B3LYP/6-31G approximation, we investigate the snap-through transition of neutral and negatively charged buckled graphene membranes under the transverse load and external electrostatic field created by a point charge. Estimations show that the chosen calculation method reproduces the elastic properties of graphene within the limits of experimental error. The obtained results testify to the fact that the membrane charge and external electrostatic field affect notably the threshold snap-through switching force in nanosized membranes and, therefore, should be taken into account in the design and development of such nanodevices.

Atomic Force Microscopy in Molecular and Cell Biology || In Situ Single Molecule Detection on Cell Membrane and Label Molecule Distributions Using AFM/NSOM
摘要： Consisting of viscous phospholipid bilayer, different kinds of proteins and various nano/micrometer-sized domains, cell membranes have proven to play very important roles in ensuring the stability of the intracellular environment and order of cellular signal transductions. The developments of modern cell biology, immunology, and medicine urge us to explore more precise cell membrane structures and detailed functions of biomolecules on cell membranes. Due to the minuscule size of biomolecules and their clusters on cell membranes (varying from several nanometers to hundreds of nanometers), a high resolution microscopy is needed to explore the cell membrane biomolecule distribution.

[IEEE 2019 24th Microoptics Conference (MOC) - Toyama, Japan (2019.11.17-2019.11.20)] 2019 24th Microoptics Conference (MOC) - Enhancement of Modulation Responses of Directly Modulated Lasers with Passive Feedback and Partially Corrugated Grating
摘要： The use of an arrayed lipid bilayer chamber system (ALBiC) enables highly sensitive quantitative analysis of membrane transporter activity, a major target of pharmaceutical research. Although membrane voltage is one of the main driving forces of transporters, the versatility of ALBiC is limited to transporter assays in the absence of membrane voltage, owing to technical limitations with voltage modulation. Here, we report a novel nano-device based on ALBiC (el-ALBiC) containing sub-million lipid bilayer chambers, each equipped with nano-sized electrodes. Since the nano-sized electrodes enable quantitative modulation of membrane voltage, the el-ALBiC is capable of performing highly sensitive detection of the voltage-driven membrane transporter activity. Thus, the novel nano-device el-ALBiC extends the versatility of ALBiC and has potential for further analytical and pharmacological applications, such as drug screening.

Membrane modification with semiconductor diode laser to reduce membrane biofouling for external MBR system and modelling study
摘要： Membrane biofouling is one of the major problem for membrane-based wastewater treatment. In this study, we used laser technology to modify ultrafiltration polyethersulfone (UP150) membrane in order to decrease membrane biofouling. Semiconductor laser diodes with different wavelengths of 405, 520, and 658 nm and different power density of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 mW were used to improve membrane structure against biofouling. The pure water permeability (Lp), contact angle, porosity, and the average pore size were determined for pristine and modified membranes. Lp value of the pristine UP150 membrane (1102.0 L/(m2.h.bar)) was higher than modified membrane (19.2 L/(m2.h.bar)). The contact angle values were presented that hydrophilicity was decreased from 75.1° to 61.2° for 2 h at 2.5 mW laser irradiation. Membrane porosity increased from 63.2 to 67.7%; however, the average pore size decreased from 88 to 23 nm after laser modification. The impact of laser wavelength and irradiation time on the rejection of protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) and the fractions of soluble microbial products (as protein and carbohydrate) was systematically investigated. A maximum rejection of 32.2% and 41.9% was obtained for carbohydrate and protein when activated sludge was filtrated through modified membrane. Moreover, 100% BSA rejection was obtained by the modified membrane when BSA solution was filtrated. The modified membranes were extensively characterized by AFM, FTIR, SEM, and mechanical strength test analyses to observe morphological changes of the membrane before and after modification. The results showed that laser irradiation was changed the membrane morphology. Our results presented that laser-modified membranes with red wavelength changed the pore size, porosity, hydrophilicity of the pristine membrane. Also, membrane surface melting was revealed with a study called “Thermal Analysis on Membrane Surface Modelled 3D” using Solidworks CAD/CAM software. The results obtained from Solidworks thermal analysis was presented with 98.7% ratio of successful approach.
