In vitro high-content screening reveals miR-429 as a protective molecule in photoreceptor degeneration by Georgios Petrogiannakis, Irene Guadagnino, Santiago Negueruela, Martina Di Guida, Elena Marrocco, Mariateresa Pizzo, Annalaura Torella, Mariateresa Zanobio, Marianthi Karali, Diego Luis Medina, Sabrina Carrella, Sandro Banfi

“…In the present study, we performed high-content imaging (HCI) screening to assess the impact of miRNA overexpression on a photoreceptor cell line undergoing light-induced degeneration. More than 1,200 miRNAs were assayed for putative protective effects in light-stressed 661W photoreceptor-like cells, and the top-performing miRNAs were further validated in independent in vitro assays. miR-429 showed the strongest cell-protective effect in vitro. …”

Synthesis of carbon fiber reinforced SiC aerogel composites with enhanced mechanical and antioxidant properties for high temperature insulation by Chunxue Zheng, Jie Yu, Xinyang Li, Jingbo Duan, Zhulin Huang, Ming Li, Xiaoye Hu, Yue Li

“…The high-strength CF as the skeleton endows high mechanical strength, and the in-situ grown SiCnw aerogels lead to good thermal insulation of the composites. More importantly, a dense SiC shell was also formed and tightly coated on the surface of CF (CF@SiC) during the in-situ growth process, which effectively protects the CF from oxidation, thus enhancing the high temperature oxidation resistance of the composites. …”
