Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–

Mechanism‐Driven Nanoformulations for Cognitive Impairment Induced by Intermittent Hypoxia and Periodontitis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Clinically, intermittent hypoxia (IH) is often accompanied by periodontitis, which accelerates cognitive impairment induced by IH. Novel Janus mesoporous gold‐silica nanoformulations (RVG‐Au&mSiO2‐TPP‐VB) enable intranasal delivery, achieve hierarchical targeting to neuronal mitochondria, effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species, inhibit the HIF‐1α/

Mucosal Immunity/Mucosal Vaccine

Nippon Shokuhin Kagaku Kogaku Kaishi, 2009
ヒトや動物には，外敵から身体を守るために免疫系が備わっている．多くのウイルスや病原菌の侵入口である粘膜面には効果的な「粘膜免疫」が存在し，抗原特異的分泌型IgA応答や細胞障害性T細胞（CTL）を誘導する．各粘膜は共通粘膜免疫機構（common mucosal immune system（CMIS））により関連をもち，ある粘膜組織で誘導されたIgA産生細胞やCTLは他の粘膜組織にも帰巣（ホーミング）する．とくに，分泌型IgA産生細胞は，腸管関連リンパ組織（GALT），鼻咽頭関連リンパ組織（NALT）および気管支関連リンパ組織（BALT）などの誘導組織（inductive site）で誘導され，実効組織（effector site）である腸管粘膜固有層，呼吸器粘膜固有層，乳腺，涙腺，唾液腺 ...
