A research team with the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences reported their discovery that a metabolic regulation mechanism may play a role in malignant transformation of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis to liver tumor.
Constructing hot spots using their own properties can achieve sensitive and specific detection effects, but interrogating the optimal Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) hot spots is a great challenge for SERS detection of proteins.
Rice, taking a great portion of human’s food, especially for those who live in Asian area. Its grains are delivered to the table as the main food, but where had the stem gone after harvest?
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Monitoring of lipid in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) is important for decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular events. The traditional indicator, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), is prone to false positives in specific conditions, while invasive routine blood lipid detection fluctuates with the influence of diet, exercise, weight.
Recently, the team led by Prof. HUANG Qing at the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) developed a novel biosensor based on aptamer-combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to achieve the inflammatory microRNA-122 (miR-122) detection in cell-secreted exosomes.
