Three groups of fifteen adult male BALB/c healthy mice, weighing approximately 25- 30 g, were used for the experiment and designated G1, G2, and G3, respectively. G1 mice received vehicle, whereas G2 and G3 received an IP injection of 10 mg/kg body weight of methoxy poly ethylene glycol gold nanoparticles (PEG-AuNPs) and fluorescently dye labeled gold nanoparticles (Dye-AuNPs), respectively. Hematological parameters were measured based on the standard complete blood cell count (CBC) technique. The two nanoparticles, i.e., PEG-AuNPs and Dye-AuNPs, significantly reduced most red blood cell (RBC) parameters in the groups with the exception of a nonsignificant effect on hemoglobin (HBG) levels. Both gold nanoparticles, i.e., PEG-AuNPs and Dye-AuNPs, led to a reduced RBC count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) level when compared with the control. Notably, Dye-AuNPs and PEG-AuNPs resulted in a considerably higher RBC distribution RDW- (CV % and SD fL). Glomerular injury was suggested based on the development of hydropic degeneration and the presence of a protein-rich fluid inside the tubules. Renal tissue and blood indices changed significantly in response to the two nanoparticles, suggesting possible organ injury.","PeriodicalId":13264,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience","volume":"24 2","pages":"174-179"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142371713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there is no definite cure for PD, and available treatments mainly aim to alleviate its symptoms. Due to impaired neurotransmitter-based information transmission in PD, molecular communication-based approaches can be employed as potential solutions to address this issue. Molecular Communications (MC) is a bio-inspired communication method utilizing molecules to carry information. This mode of communication stands out for developing bio-compatible nanomachines for diagnosing and treating, particularly in addressing neurodegenerative diseases like PD, due to its compatibility with biological systems. This study presents a novel treatment method that introduces an Intelligent Dopamine Rate Modulator (IDRM), which is located in the synaptic gap between the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and striatum to compensate for insufficiency dopamine release in BG caused by PD. For storing dopamine in the IDRM, dopamine compound (DAC) is swallowed and crossed through the digestive system, blood circulatory system, blood-brain barrier (BBB), and brain extracellular matrix uptakes with IDRMs. Here, the DAC concentration is calculated in these regions, revealing that the required exogenous dopamine consistently reaches IDRM. Therefore, the perpetual dopamine insufficiency in BG associated with PD can be compensated. This method reduces drug side effects because dopamine is not released in other brain regions. Unlike other treatments, this approach targets the root cause of PD rather than just reducing symptoms.","PeriodicalId":13264,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience","volume":"24 2","pages":"136-144"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on two isomorphic chaotic systems, the linear transformation system and the state observer system are designed according to the theory of state observer construction. In addition, in order to realize the synchronization of chaotic systems, a coupling controller is designed between the drive system and the linear transformation system, and a soft variable-structure controller is designed between the state observer system and the response system. Through multiple DSD reactions, the chemical reaction networks of four chaotic systems and two controllers are constructed, and they are cascaded to realize the synchronization of two isomorphic three-dimensional chaotic systems.

Moreover, the heterogeneity inherent in multiple omics sources makes the effective integration of multi-omics data challenging To tackle these challenges, we propose MFCC-SAtt, a multi-level feature contrast clustering model based on self-attention to extract informative features from multi-omics data. MFCC-SAtt treats each omics type as a distinct modality and employs autoencoders with self-attention for each modality to integrate and compress their respective features into a shared feature space. By utilizing a multi-level feature extraction framework along with incorporating a semantic information extractor, we mitigate optimization conflicts arising from different learning objectives. Additionally, MFCC-SAtt guides deep clustering based on multi-level features which further enhances the quality of output labels. By conducting extensive experiments on multi-omics data, we have validated the exceptional performance of MFCC-SAtt.

As fundamental work to clarify their functions, a large number of computational approaches for identifying circRNA formation have been proposed. However, these methods fail to fully utilize the important characteristics of back-splicing events, i.e., the positional information of the splice sites and the interaction features of its flanking sequences, for predicting circRNAs. To this end, we hereby propose a novel approach called SIDE for predicting circRNA back-splicing events using only raw RNA sequences. Technically, SIDE employs a dual encoder to capture global and interactive features of the RNA sequence, and then a decoder designed by the contrastive learning to fuse out discriminative features improving the prediction of circRNAs formation. Empirical results on three real-world datasets show the effectiveness of SIDE.

Feature representation for integrating various biological networks is crutial to improve the identification performance.

There is a lack of models of gene representational latent space with considerating multiple dimentionalities correlation and preserving latent geometric structures in both sample and feature spaces. Therefore, we propose a novel method to model gene Latent Space using matrix Tri-Factorization (LSTF) to obtain gene representation with embedding variables resulting from the potential interpretation of synthetic lethality. Meanwhile, manifold subspace regularization is applied to the tri-factorization to capture the geometrical manifold structure in the latent space with gene PPI functional and GO semantic embeddings. Then, SL gene pairs are identified by the reconstruction of the associations with gene representations in the latent space.
