The temporal window of visual processing throughout adulthood by Xianghang He, Xiaowei Ruan, Menglu Shen, Junli Yuan, Cheng Li, Yan Yang, Jinli Zhu, Rong Cui, Rong Cui, Zhong-Lin Lu, Zhong-Lin Lu, Zhong-Lin Lu, Jiang-Fan Chen, Fang Hou

“…Regression analysis revealed that the peak decreased, while the FWHH increased with age, indicating that the temporal window of visual processing became wider and less efficient as age increased. Our cross-sectional study suggests that our ability to process dynamic visual information gradually declines with age in two significant ways: a decrease in peak efficiency and increased vulnerability to temporal disturbances.…”

Biosynthesized nanoparticles of Tibetan medicine mercuric sulfide preparation to promote endocytosis and realize drug crossing through blood brain barrier by Wenjing Jia, Huilan Yue, Liying Liu, Luya Wang, Lin Zhang, Jihong Tao, Guoying Zhou, Lixin Wei, Hongxin Dong, Rinchen Dhondrup, Xiaohui Zhao

“…Meanwhile, HgS NPs enhanced the effect of MS-275 on spatial learning and memory ability of APP/PS1 mice. Further studies confirmed that HgS NPs increased the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by regulating endocytosis (Upregulation of caveolin, clathrin, and dynamin, downregulation P-gp) thereby facilitate the transport of drugs across BBB with more than threefold higher brain accumulation and long-lasting efficiency enhancement (4 days). …”

Simplifying SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance using an automated FDA EUA assay by Shivaprasad H. Sathyanarayana, Ashlee A. Robins, Diana M. Toledo, Torrey L. Gallagher, Gregory J. Tsongalis, Jacqueline A. Hubbard, Joel A. Lefferts, Isabella W. Martin

“…SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater using an FDA EUA assay on an automated commercial testing platform performed comparably but with more efficient workflow when compared to two LDTs. This sample-to-answer automated method could save time and labor for surveillance testing, but further validation of its ability to quantitate SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA is necessary.IMPORTANCEThis proof-of-principle study evaluates an off-label use of an automated United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) human diagnostic assay for wastewater surveillance. …”
