miR-744-5p promotes T-cell differentiation via inhibiting STK11.

T cells utilized in adoptive T cell immunotherapy are typically activated in vitro. Although these cells demonstrate proliferation and anti-tumor activity following activation, they often face difficulties in sustaining long-term survival post-reinfusion. This issue is attributed to the induction of T cells into a terminal differentiation state upon activation, whereas early-stage differentiated T cells exhibit enhanced proliferation potential and survival capabilities. In previous study, we delineated four T cell subsets at varying stages of differentiation: TN, TSCM, TCM, and TEM, and acquired their miRNA expression profiles via high-throughput sequencing. In the current study, we performed a differential analysis of miRNA across these subsets, identifying a distinct miRNA, hsa-miR-744-5p, characterized by progressively increasing expression levels upon T cell activation. This miRNA is not expressed in TSCM but is notably present in TEM. Target genes of miR-744-5p were predicted, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses, revealing that these genes predominantly associate with pathways related to the 'Wnt signaling pathway'. We established that miR-744-5p directly targets STK11, influencing its expression. Further, we investigated the implications of miR-744-5p on T cell differentiation and functionality. Overexpression of miR-744-5p in T cells resulted in heightened apoptosis, reduced proliferation, an increased proportion of late-stage differentiated T cells, and elevated secretion of the cytokine TNF-α. Moreover, post-overexpression of miR-744-5p led to a marked decline in the expression of early-stage differentiation-associated genes in T cells (CCR7, CD62L, LEF1, BCL2) and a significant rise in late-stage differentiation-associated genes (KLRG1, PDCD1, GZMB). In conclusion, our findings affirm that miR-744-5p contributes to the progressive differentiation of T cells by downregulating the STK11 gene expression.

Controllable Fabrication of Sub-10 nm Graphene Nanopores via Helium Ion Microscopy and DNA Detection.

Solid-state nanopores have become a prominent tool in the field of single-molecule detection. Conventional solid-state nanopores are thick, which affects the spatial resolution of the detection results. Graphene is the thinnest 2D material and has the highest spatial detection resolution. In this study, a graphene membrane chip was fabricated by combining a MEMS process with a 2D material wet transfer process. Raman spectroscopy was used to assess the quality of graphene after the transfer. The mechanism behind the influence of the processing dose and residence time of the helium ion beam on the processed pore size was investigated. Subsequently, graphene nanopores with diameters less than 10 nm were fabricated via helium ion microscopy. DNA was detected using a 5.8 nm graphene nanopore chip, and the appearance of double-peak signals on the surface of 20 mer DNA was successfully detected. These results serve as a valuable reference for nanopore fabrication using 2D material for DNA analysis.

A study on the learning experience of visitors of digital museums in STEAM education: From the perspective of visitors' visual evaluation.

Public education in museums has the interdisciplinary nature of STEAM education contemporary learning. In the contemporary learning process of the public, digital museums can rely on mobile terminals to provide people with opportunities for mobile learning. Especially since the global outbreak of COVID-19, many offline museums have been forced to close their doors or impose restrictions. How to use digital museums to better carry out the learning experience of visitors is a problem worthy of attention. Effective dissemination of visual information can help digital museums conduct educational activities more efficiently. The purpose of this study was to explore a research method for visual evaluation of visitors' learning experiences in digital museums. The visual evaluation of visitors in the digital museum learning experience involves the layout of exhibition content, the form of exhibition space, and the way of display of exhibits. Through eye-tracking engineering experiments, we obtain and analyze the visual data of visitors during the educational experience of the digital museum to form an accurate evaluation. This method can be used to assess the visual satisfaction of visitors with the educational experience of a digital museum in mobile learning. This kind of evaluation research can provide strong data support and design optimization direction guidance for the development of digital museum public education.

Design Innovation and Entrepreneurship Organization Based on Psychological Cognitiveness of the Space Narrative.

The high-quality workspace can be used as a physical carrier for design innovation and entrepreneurial organizational culture to continuously change the psychological cognition and behavior of employees in community of practice. The spatial narrative of the culture of design innovation and entrepreneurial organizations means to integrate entrepreneurship and organizational culture into the space through visual presentation. Whether the spatial narrative is successful or not needs to be judged by whether the change of people's psychological cognition achieves the expected effect. The traditional qualitative research methods such as interviews and questionnaires cannot fully and accurately present the psychological cognitive mechanism of design Innovation and entrepreneurship organization members. We use virtual reality technology combined with electrophysiological technology to conduct experiments. We use these technologies to conduct quantitative experiments on psychological cognition in community of practice. This study will select a design innovation and entrepreneurial organization, randomly select 20 participants, and divide them into 2 groups for experimentation. The VR scene is based on their real office space as a prototype. Put the visual elements of corporate culture in one of the VR scenes. The other VR scene as a reference does not incorporate visual elements of organizational culture. Participants participated in the experiment in these two VR scenarios. There are many advanced devices that can accurately test individual psychological changes, but the ErgoLab man-machine environment test platform, can collect and compare these data [physiological data, electroencephalogram (EEG) data, and behavior data] in real-time and comprehensively, which is its advantage. According to the experimental results, judge the changes in the psychological cognitive data of the participants before and after the placement of the spatial narrative in design innovation and entrepreneurial organizations. The experiment combined interviews and questionnaires to ensure the authenticity of the quantitative data. The conclusion of the experiment will produce an accurate quantitative study on the psychological cognition of the spatial narrative of design innovation and entrepreneurial organizational culture. A sense of organizational belonging, collective sense, pride, mission, and work fun can be generated in the workspace.
