Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Halide perovskites in wide‐spectrum photodetection

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Recent advances in perovskite‐based photodetectors (PPDs), phototransistors, and photoconductors are technically discussed in this review. Moreover, the mechanism behind different harvesting processes in perovskite following the energy of photons is explained, where the gamma or x‐rays are ionizing.

A novel biomimetic liposome drug delivery system mediated by macrophage targeting for precision treatment of encephalitis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
An advanced macrophage‐mediated biomimetic liposome (AC‐LP@RAW) that can penetrate the BBB and precisely target inflammatory sites in the deep brain was established in this study based on the unique immune homing property of macrophages, and showed a significantly improved delivery of curcumin to the brain.
