TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method was developed to synthesize gram quantities of uniform Ge nanowires (GeNWs) by chemical vapor deposition on preformed, monodispersed seed particles loaded onto a high surface area silica support.
Abstract: A simple method is developed to synthesize gram quantities of uniform Ge nanowires (GeNWs) by chemical vapor deposition on preformed, monodispersed seed particles loaded onto a high surface area silica support. Various chemical functionalization schemes are investigated to passivate the GeNW surfaces using alkanethiols and alkyl Grignard reactions. The stability of functionalization against oxidation of germanium for various alkyl chain lengths is elucidated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Among all schemes tested, long chain alkanethiols (> or = C12) are found to impart the most stable GeNW passivation against oxidation upon extended exposure to ambient air. Further, the chemically functionalized oxidation-resistant nanowires are soluble in organic solvents and can be readily assembled into close-packed Langmuir-Blodgett films potentially useful for future high performance electronic devices.

TL;DR: It is suggested that excessive NET formation represents the major factor underlying the gel-like structure of CF sputum and provide evidence that CF-NETs contain ectosome-like structures that could represent targets for future therapeutic approaches.

TL;DR: Results show that a chemical modification incorporated at select sites in the ribose-phosphate backbone of gRNAs can dramatically reduce off-target cleavage activities while maintaining high on-target performance, as demonstrated in clinically relevant genes.
Abstract: CRISPR systems have emerged as transformative tools for altering genomes in living cells with unprecedented ease, inspiring keen interest in increasing their specificity for perfectly matched targets. We have developed a novel approach for improving specificity by incorporating chemical modifications in guide RNAs (gRNAs) at specific sites in their DNA recognition sequence ('guide sequence') and systematically evaluating their on-target and off-target activities in biochemical DNA cleavage assays and cell-based assays. Our results show that a chemical modification (2'-O-methyl-3'-phosphonoacetate, or 'MP') incorporated at select sites in the ribose-phosphate backbone of gRNAs can dramatically reduce off-target cleavage activities while maintaining high on-target performance, as demonstrated in clinically relevant genes. These findings reveal a unique method for enhancing specificity by chemically modifying the guide sequence in gRNAs. Our approach introduces a versatile tool for augmenting the performance of CRISPR systems for research, industrial and therapeutic applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of forming a conductive barrier layer on a dielectric layer, the method comprising the steps of: providing the dielectrics layer (112 of FIG 7 d ) having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface.
Abstract: An embodiment of the instant invention is a method of forming a conductive barrier layer on a dielectric layer, the method comprising the steps of: providing the dielectric layer ( 112 of FIG 7 d ) having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, and including a conductive plug ( 704 of FIG 7 d ) having a top surface substantially coplanar with the top surface of the dielectric layer; subjecting the top surface of the dielectric layer and the top surface of the conductive plug to a gas selected from the group consisting of: argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, CH 4 , and any combination thereof, the gas being incorporated into a high-temperature ambient or a plasma; and forming the conductive barrier layer on the top surface of the dielectric layer and the top surface of the conductive plug after the step of subjecting the top surface of the dielectric layer and the top surface of the conductive plug to the gas incorporated into the high-temperature ambient or the plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, a fluid-conducting plate unit is used to sample blood from the skin of a patient by puncture, which can be used to obtain a representative sample of blood with relatively simple procedures.
Abstract: A device for sampling blood from the skin of a patient by puncture. The device includes one or more lancets for lancing the skin and a fluid-conducting plate unit for transporting blood from the lancing wound. The plate unit has one or more channels for conducting fluid to one or more target locations. Preferably there is a first channel for conducting away a first portion of fluid that contains more of a fluid that is emitted initially (initial fluid) from the puncture wound and a second channel for conducting a second portion of fluid that contains less of the initial fluid from the puncture wound. Blood is drawn into the channels by capillary force. The device can be used to lance the skin and obtain a representative sample of blood with relatively simple procedures.
