A Biomimetic Solvatochromic Chip With Optimized Chemical Diversity for On‐Site Liquid Identification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A compact biomimetic photonic‐gustatory chip uses Hansen‐solubility‐parameter‐guided solvatochromic disks to create distinct color patterns in organic liquids. An optimized four‐disk array distinguishes solvent types, ratios, homologues, isomers, and alcoholic beverages. Coupled with smartphone imaging and deep learning, it identifies 80 liquid classes

INFLAMMATION ARISING FROM OBESITY REDUCES TASTE BUD ABUNDANCE AND RENEWAL [PDF]

, 2017
Despite evidence that the ability to taste is weakened by obesity and rescued with weight loss intervention, few studies have investigated the molecular effects of obesity on the physiology of taste.

Chrysanthemum Morifolium–Derived Nanovesicles Reduce Lactate‐Associated Histone Lactylation and Modulate Microglia‐Mediated Neuroinflammation in Sepsis‐Associated Encephalopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When used to treat sepsis‐associated encephalopathy, Chrysanthemum morifolium–derived nanovesicles can inhibit the H3K18la/NF‐κB axis to regulate microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation. ABSTRACT Sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE)—a complication of the central nervous system in patients with sepsis—markedly diminishes cognitive functions and is linked
