TL;DR: It is concluded that the perfused liver organoid shares relevant morphological and functional characteristics with the human liver and represents a new in vitro research tool to study human hepatocellular physiology at the cellular level under conditions close to the physiological situation.

TL;DR: This article identified miR-26a and -26b as key regulators of human white and brite adipocyte differentiation and found that miR26a significantly induced pathways related to energy dissipation, shifted mitochondrial morphology toward that seen in brown adipocytes, and promoted uncoupled respiration by markedly increasing the hallmark protein of brown fat, uncoupling protein 1.

TL;DR: An optical sensor based on a chloride-quenchable fluorescent probe (lucigenin) immobilized on a Nafion film that was used to determine the salinity in seawater and brackish water of the North Sea.

TL;DR: Optical nanosensors for such important analytes as oxygen, pH, temperature, etc. are manufactured in a simple way via precipitation via precipitation using nanobeads based on poly(methyl methacrylate), polystyrene, polyurethanes, ethylcellulose, and other polymers.

TL;DR: This tutorial review presents an overview of the optical sensors and their technology, with a view to support current and potential new users in microfluidics and biotechnology in the implementation of such sensors.
