Chronic stress causes physiological and hormonal adaptations that lead to neurobiological consequences and behavioral and cognitive impairments. In particular, chronic stress has been shown to drive reduced neurogenesis and altered synaptic plasticity in brain regions that regulate mood and motivation. The neurobiological and behavioral effects of stress resemble the pathophysiology and symptoms observed in psychiatric disorders, suggesting that there are similar underlying mechanisms. Accumulating evidence indicates that neuroimmune systems, particularly microglia, have a critical role in regulating the neurobiology of stress. Preclinical models indicate that chronic stress provokes changes in microglia phenotype and increases inflammatory cytokine signaling, which affects neuronal function and leads to synaptic plasticity deficits and impaired neurogenesis. More recent work has shown that microglia can also phagocytose neuronal elements and contribute to structural remodeling of neurons in response to chronic stress. In this review we highlight work by the Duman research group (as well as others) that has revealed how chronic stress shapes neuroimmune function and, in turn, how inflammatory mediators and microglia contribute to the neurobiological effects of chronic stress. We also provide considerations to engage the therapeutic potential of neuroimmune systems, with the goal of improving treatment for psychiatric disorders.Single-walled carbon nanotube-based field effect transistors (SWCNT-FETs) are ideal candidates for fabricating sensors and have been widely used for chemical sensing applications. SWCNT-FETs have low selectivity because of the environmentally sensitive electronic properties of SWCNTs, and SWCNT-FETs also show a high noise signal and poor sensitivity because of charge trapping from Si-OH hydration of the SiO2/Si substrate on the SWCNTs. Herein, poly (4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) was used for noncovalent attachment to SWCNTs and selective binding to copper ions (Cu2+). Importantly, the introduction of a hafnium-oxide (HfO2) layer through atomic layer deposition (ALD) overcame the charge trapping by SiO2 hydration and remarkably decreased the interference signal. The sensitivity of the P4VP/SWCNT/HfO2-FET sensor for Cu2+ was 7.9 μA μM-1, which was approximately 100 times higher than that of the P4VP/SWCNT/SiO2-FET sensor, and its limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 33 pmol L-1. Thus, the P4VP/SWCNT/HfO2-FET sensor is a promising candidate for the development of Cu2+-selective sensors and can be designed for the large-scale manufacturing of custom-made sensors in the future.In the last few years, LIBS has become an established technique for the assessment of elemental concentrations in various sample types. However, for many applications knowledge about the overall elemental composition is not sufficient. In addition, detailed information about the elemental distribution within a heterogeneous sample is needed. LIBS has become of great interest in elemental imaging studies, since this technique allows to associate the obtained elemental composition information with the spatial coordinates of the investigated sample. The possibility of simultaneous multi-elemental analysis of major, minor, and trace constituents in almost all types of solid materials with no or negligible sample preparation combined with a high speed of analysis are benefits which make LIBS especially attractive when compared to other elemental imaging techniques. The first part of this review is aimed at providing information about the instrumental requirements necessary for successful LIBS imaging measurements and points out and discusses state-of-the-art LIBS instrumentation and upcoming developments. The second part is dedicated to data processing and evaluation of LIBS imaging data. This chapter is focused on different approaches of multivariate data evaluation and chemometrics which can be used e.g. for classification but also for the quantification of obtained LIBS imaging data. In the final part, current literature of different LIBS imaging applications ranging from bioimaging, geoscientific and cultural heritage studies to the field of materials science is summarized and reviewed.Retention index in gas chromatographic analyses is an essential tool for appropriate analyte identification. Currently, many libraries providing retention indices for a huge number of compounds on distinct stationary phase chemistries are available. However, situation could be complicated in the case of unknown unknowns not present in such libraries. The importance of identification of these compounds have risen together with a rapidly expanding interest in non-targeted analyses in the last decade. Therefore, precise in silico computation/prediction of retention indices based on a suggested molecular structure will be highly appreciated in such situations. On this basis, a predictive model based on deep learning was developed and presented in this paper. It is designed for user-friendly and accurate prediction of retention indices of compounds in gas chromatography with the semi-standard non-polar stationary phase. Simplified Molecular Input Entry System (SMILES) is used as the model's input. Architecture of the model consists of 2D-convolutional layers, together with batch normalization, max pooling, dropout, and three residual connections. The model reaches median absolute error of prediction of the retention index for validation and test set at 16.4 and 16.0 units, respectively. Median percentage error is lower than or equal to 0.81% in the case of all mentioned data sets. Finally, the DeepReI model is presented in R package, and is available on https//github.com/TomasVrzal/DeepReI together with a user-friendly graphical user interface.We report a highly sensitive approach for detecting microRNA-21 (miR-21) in cancer cells and human serum by using Au@Si nanocomposite labeled lateral flow assay. Epigenetics inhibitor The Au@Si nanocomposite was prepared by coating numerous 3-5 nm gold nanoparticles (GNP) on a silica nanoparticle (SiNP) with a diameter of 150 nm and used as colored label on the lateral flow assay for signal amplification. TEM results show there are around 1000 GNPs coated on the SiNP surface. The principle of miR-21 detection is based on on-strip DNA-microRNA hybridization reactions to form DNA-miR-21-DNA-Au@Si complexes, which are captured on the test zone of the lateral flow test strip and produce a visible red band. A thiol-modified detecting DNA probe (Det-DNA) and a biotin-modified capturing DNA probe (Cap-DNA), which are complementary to miR-21, were used to prepare the lateral flow test strips. After systematic optimization, the method can detect a minimum concentration of 1.0 pM miR-21, which is 60 times lower than that of the GNP-based lateral flow assay (Gao et al.
