Rubicon WIPI Axis Regulates Extracellular Secretion Synthesis during Aging Process

picture Writing | Sister Xian Extracellular vesicles are important mediators of intercellular communication, consisting of small vesicles with diameters ranging from 30-150 nanometers. They can transport biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids from one cell to another, thereby regulating the behavior of recipient cells. Due to their roles in various physiological and pathological processes, extracellular vesicles have become a hot topic in biomedical research. Studies have found that as age increases, the number and composition of circulating extracellular vesicles change, which may have significant impacts on the aging process. The changes in miRNA and other molecules in extracellular vesicles with age may affect cell function and tissue regeneration ability [1]. However, how extracellular vesicles change during aging and the molecular mechanisms behind these changes are currently not fully understood. The formation of extracellular vesicles is a complex multi-step process involving the endosomal pathway and the biological formation of ...

A domestic giant in imaging equipment

Imaging equipment is an indispensable medical product for building a clinical diagnosis and treatment system. Medical imaging equipment interacts with the human body through a certain medium (such as X-rays, electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, etc.), and presents the structure and density of internal tissues and organs of the human body in the form of images for diagnostic physicians to judge and evaluate the health status of the human body. Commonly used medical imaging equipment in clinical practice includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR), X-ray imaging equipment, nuclear medicine diagnostic equipment, and ultrasound equipment (US). Medical imaging of different modalities has different working principles, imaging characteristics, application scenarios, and advantages and disadvantages, but the functions are relatively consistent: Medical imaging equipment is one of the basic diagnostic options before most diseases are currently intervened, especially in the context of aging in China. Most aging-related diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ...

KCL and UCL scientists develop accurate AI brain imaging model for research

Researchers from King’s College London have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) brain imaging model in collaboration with University College London (UCL) which is realistic and accurate enough to use in medical research. Published in Nature Medicine Intelligence, the three-dimensional, synthetic images of the human brain could help support research to predict, diagnose and treat brain diseases including dementia, stroke and multiple sclerosis. According to Brain Research UK, there are an estimated 11 million people in the UK who are living with a neurological condition. Among the most common are Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and stroke. In collaboration with the London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Value-Based Healthcare and NVIDIA data scientists and engineers, researchers trained the AI model in weeks as opposed to months using the NVIDIA Cambridge-1 supercomputer. The model is able to produce 3D, high-resolution images that have all the characteristics of real human brains, including correct ...

Innovative Imaging Method to Revolutionize Microscopy

Currently, scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEMs) employ a highly focused electron beam that traverses a sample, creating images point by point. Traditionally, at each point, the beam pauses for a constant, predetermined duration to gather signals, akin to how cameras with photographic film function, resulting in uniformly exposed images across all areas. This method continuously exposes the sample to electrons until the set “dwell-time” for each pixel elapses. Although simple to implement, this technique can subject the sample to excessive radiation, potentially altering or destroying it. Now, a pioneering imaging technique utilizing advanced microscopes has significantly reduced the time and radiation needed for imaging. This advancement is particularly beneficial for fields like medicine, where it promises enhanced imaging of sensitive materials, such as biological tissues, which are highly susceptible to damage. The new method, devised by an international research group led by Trinity College Dublin (Dublin, Ireland), fundamentally rethinks the ...
