We developed novel intrinsic multifunctional nanovesicles called porphysomes, which have structure-dependent fluorescence self-quenching and unique photothermal properties, thus functioning as potent photothermal therapy agents. We formulated porphysomes using high pressure extrusion and investigated their photothermal therapy efficacy in a xenograft tumor model.

We present a protocol to test the aerobic and anaerobic power of the upper body muscles over a duration of 3 min in able-bodied as well as in paraplegic and tetraplegic individuals. The protocol presents specific modifications in its application for upper-body exercise in individuals with or without disability.

Here we present a protocol to increase chimera production without the use of new equipment. A simple orientation change of the embryo for injection can increase the number of embryos produced, and potentially reduce the timeline to germline transmission.

Direct Microbial Identification using An Automated Microbial Identification System to Facilitate the EUCAST RAST Method Without Mass Spectrometry

EUCAST has developed a direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) protocol for automated blood cultures. However, its dependence on mass spectrometry-based microbial identification can be obviated by using a direct inoculum preparation protocol in an automated microbial identification system. This approach can provide AST reports within 24 h of sample collection.
FAQs
The effort begins with rapid phosphagen and glycolytic energy production, which support the immediate high-power output. As the three minutes progress, oxidative phosphorylation contributes increasingly to energy supply. This changing balance allows the test to challenge both short-duration anaerobic power and sustained aerobic energy production within one continuous effort.
Power typically falls because the participant cannot maintain the initial rate of energy production from rapid anaerobic pathways alone. As oxidative phosphorylation contributes more, output settles toward a level that can be sustained for the remaining effort. The resulting decline provides information about how maximal power transitions into ongoing energy production.
The pattern of power from the opening burst through the later sustainable phase offers insight into several components of performance. Early output reflects the ability to generate high power rapidly, whereas the later portion reflects continued aerobic contribution and tolerance of prolonged maximal effort. Together, these features help characterize anaerobic and aerobic fitness.
Because the test requires maximal effort while energy demands shift across the three-minute period, it engages cardiovascular, metabolic, and neuromuscular functions together. The response can therefore help researchers examine how these systems support exercise performance in health and disease, rather than assessing a single physiological component in isolation.
The participant performs one continuous three-minute effort at maximal intensity, typically during cycling. The assessment focuses on the power produced throughout the effort rather than on a single isolated value. Recording the initial output, subsequent decline, and later sustainable level supports interpretation of both rapid energy production and continuing aerobic contribution.
Clinicians and exercise researchers may use the assessment to estimate functional capacity, examine cardiovascular, metabolic, and neuromuscular performance, or evaluate responses to training. Its value comes from combining a demanding maximal challenge with a power profile that reflects changing energy-system contributions, making it relevant to both health-related assessment and disease-focused research.
