Inverted Microscopy:Article Title: Forced-Convection Porous Hydrogel Platform for Rapid miRNA Detection. Article Snippet: Hydrogel-based microRNA (miRNA) assays typically rely on diffusion-driven transport, resulting in slow target delivery and prolonged analysis times.. Here, we presented a forcedconvection hydrogel platform in which all injected samples were forced to pass through a permeable polyethylene glycol (PEG)based hydrogel polymerized within a glass channel.. This configuration enables rapid and efficient transport of target miRNAs into the hydrogel matrix, reducing the total assay time to 55 min while achieving high sensitivity, with a limit of detection as low as ∼20 fM. Article Title: Adaptive acoustic streaming microbial system for oxytetracycline removal. Article Snippet: Microalgae-bacteria symbiosis has been demonstrated to possess the ability to remove antibiotics from water.. Appropriate granulation strategies enhance the performance of microbial systems.. Herein, we propose an adaptive acoustic streaming microbial system (AMS) to achieve rapid quantitative granulation. Article Title: Sunflower HaWRKY29 dampens Orobanche cumana parasitism via transcriptional activation of HaLAC17 and lignin deposition. Article Snippet: Orobanche cumana Wallr.. is a root holoparasitic plant that mainly parasitizes and, therefore, threatens sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production.. Compared with other pathogens, the molecular mechanisms underlying host resistance to parasitic plants remain largely elusive.
