Profiling Pro‐Inflammatory Proteases as Biomolecular Signatures of Material‐Induced Subcutaneous Host Response in Immuno‐Competent Mice by Nam M.P. Tran, Anh T.H. Truong, Dang T. Nguyen, Tram T. Dang

“…Quantitative non‐invasive monitoring with activatable fluorescent probes reveals that different microparticulate materials induce distinct levels of protease activity with degradable poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic) acid inducing the strongest signal compared to nondegradable materials such as polystyrene and silica oxide. Furthermore, protein expression of selected proteases, attributable to both their inactive and active forms, notably deviates from their activities associated only with their active forms. …”

DIFFERENT ROLES AND DESIGNS OF HETERO-GATE DIELECTRIC IN SINGLE- AND DOUBLE-GATE TUNNEL FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS by Nguyễn Đăng Chiến, Lưu Thế Vinh, Huỳnh Thị Hồng Thắm, Chun Hsing Shih

“…For both device structures, the optimal position of a source-side dielectric heterojunction does not depend on the ratio of low/high-k equivalent oxide thicknesses (EOTs). When increasing the EOT ratio, the on-current enhancement by an optimized source-side dielectric heterojunction is first increased (EOT ratio < 12) and then saturated (EOT ratio > 12). …”

Wnt5a Increases the Glycolytic Rate and the Activity of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway in Cortical Neurons by Pedro Cisternas, Paulina Salazar, Carmen Silva-Álvarez, L. Felipe Barros, Nibaldo C. Inestrosa

“…We report here that Wnt5a induces an increase in glucose uptake and glycolytic rate and an increase in the activity of the pentose phosphate pathway; the effects of Wnt5a require the intracellular generation of nitric oxide. Our data suggest that Wnt signaling stimulates neuronal glucose metabolism, an effect that could be important for the reported neuroprotective role of Wnt signaling in neurodegenerative disorders.…”
