Volcanic Pumice Rafts at Sea: Buoyancy and Infiltration with Micro-particles by Sho Sawada, Christopher Gomez, Takashi Koi

“…Experiments were conducted in both still and slurry water conditions to examine the effects of particle size and sediment concentration on water infiltration rates. Results showed that density variations follow a two-phase pattern: a rapid initial increase (+0.43 g/cm³ and 0.3931 g/cm³ in the first 30s for small and large pumice, respectively) followed by a plateau phase (+0.022 g/cm³ and 0.0197 g/cm³ in the next 60s). …”

Ultrasound-activated miR-195-5p/shikonin nanobubbles remodel immunosuppressive microenvironment via immunogenic cell death to potentiate PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in hepatocellular carci... by Yandi Tan, Qiao Xu, Yezi Chen, Yun Liu, Chaoqi Liu, Xinwu Cui, Yun Zhao

“…Despite the transformative clinical impact of programmed cell death ligand 1/programmed death 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blockade in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME), with objective response rates persistently below 20 %. To address this critical clinical challenge, we engineered ultrasound (US)-responsive lipid nanobubbles (NBs) co-encapsulating microRNA (miR)-195-5p and shikonin (SK) (designated miR-195-5p/SK-NBs), a dual-functional platform designed to synergize PD-L1 suppression with immunogenic cell death (ICD). …”
