Systems and methods for obtaining real-time, continuous measurements of a sample of a biological cell culture through tubing of a bioreactor by using a magnetic resonance relaxometer (MRR) device. The system pumps samples through tubing of a bioreactor (which comprises a bioreactor vessel holding the biological cell culture and the tubing through which a sample may be pumped). A portion of this tubing is routed through the MRR device and measurements are performed using magnetic resonance without the samples every leaving the bioreactor. Specifically, the return signals produced by the media (for example, water) in which the sample exists are analyzed to make inferences about the cells in the sample. The samples are then pumped back into the bioreactor vessel and returned to the culture such that none of the cells are destroyed while the measurements are obtained.

A clutch device includes two pluralities of flexible members interleaved with each other. An overlapping region is defined where the flexible members overlap each other. Non-overlapping regions are on opposing sides of the overlapping region. The non-overlapping regions are regions in which the flexible members do not overlap each other. In a locked arrangement, an outer portion of each non-overlapping region extends at a first angle relative to the overlapping region. The first angle causes the flexible members to engage and interlock with each other. The outer portions of can be moved to a second angle different than the first angle to unlock the clutch device and allow the flexible members to disengage with and be separated from each other. The clutch device thus does not require continuous energy input while also having a high locking force that can be rapidly applied or released.

Systems, devices, and methods for the detection of analytes such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in samples are generally described. Certain aspects of the present disclosure are related to systems for detecting analytes in samples. In some embodiments, a cartridge is used that comprises a plurality of microwells. The microwells can comprise, for example, a chamber and an optional cutout section. In some embodiments, the microwell has a volume of 0.001-1,000 pl (e.g., 0.1-100 pl), which can, for example, provide sufficient volume to detect the present of PFAS while also not being so large as to require a long amount of time before producing a result. In certain embodiments, the cartridge comprises a layer domain, which can hermetically seal the microwells. The layer domain can be, in some embodiments, configured to reseal after insertion of a needle.
Mammals rely on adaptive immunity to protect against infections and tumors, with the thymus playing a crucial role by producing T cells that target infected or cancerous cells. The thymus, however, undergoes functional decline with age, significantly impairing the immune system in the elderly. To investigate reversing this decline, compositions and methods for activation and differentiation of T cell progenitors in extrathymic tissues are disclosed that stimulate production of differentiated T cells. For example, LNP-mediated delivery of mRNAs encoding DLL-1, IL-7, and FLT3L to the liver is shown to create a temporary site for T cell maturation that enhances T cell-mediated immunity in aged mice without causing autoimmunity. This approach facilitates ectopic T cell development from hematopoietic precursors and activates dendritic cells, providing evidence that engineering adaptive immunity in vivo can effectively mitigate immune aging.

A multistage water treatment system that requires minimum energy and can be powered by low-grade energy sources, such as sunlight, is disclosed. The system may include multiple stages, where each stage comprises a hydrophobic membrane, a confined saline layer, and a condenser. Using a saline layer as the evaporator, as confined by a hydrophobic membrane, strong thermohaline convection is initiated to mitigate salt accumulation and enhance heat transfer. The multistage water treatment system is salt-resistant during continuous desalination of nearly saturated saline. Such a system enables water treatment by low-grade heat with water production exceeding the single-stage limit and ultrahigh salinity. This system is useful for water treatment, including seawater desalination, wastewater reclamation, residential water softening, and salt production from brine/seawater.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEPARATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE
Insulin therapy revolutionized the care of patients with diabetes, yet insulin-induced hypoglycemia remains a serious life-threatening complication of insulin therapy. Glucagon is a highly effective treatment for hypoglycemia; however, current dosage forms remain under- utilized due to poor patient compliance. High-density, readily soluble, and thermostable solid glucagon formulations applied with painless, application-specific microneedle-patches can treat hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes patients who are awake or asleep. On-demand patches can prevent or treat mild hypoglycemia during the day, and enzyme-driven hypoglycemia-responsive patches can release glucagon autonomously during the night. These patches have excellent in vitro glucagon stability, loading, and release kinetics and can treat hypoglycemia in diabetic humans and animals. These delivery systems enable new modes of glucagon therapy, thereby expanding the clinical role of glucagon beyond the emergency setting.

REPLACING SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS BY ENGINEERING CEREAL-ASSOCIATED NITROGEN-FIXING BACTERIA TO RELEASE UREA
Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients essential to all forms of life. However, only a few plant species can live in a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and nitrogen must first be converted to a form that plants can utilize. Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing nitrogen fixation to cereal plants using genetically engineered bacteria. In some embodiments, genetically engineered bacteria comprise engineered nucleic acids encoding one or more urea metabolism regulators and/or effect the activity of one or more urea metabolism regulators. In some embodiments, the genetically engineered bacterium release more extracellular urea compared to wildtype counterparts. In some embodiments, extracellular urea is ultimately broken down into ammonia and carbon dioxide which are subsequently used by a plant cell to produce amino acids and glucose, respectively.

Custom folded 3-dimensional plate lattices are modularly assembled to form structures with single and double curvature for use in structural engineering and robotics applications. The plate lattice structural corrugation uses a building block strategy and incorporates custom modified unit cells based on a Kirigami Expanded Miura pattern. This transformation involves expanding the top and bottom zig-zag crease lines into facets and orienting them in space. The structure of these lattices allows for the design of anisotropies in their flexural stiffness by alternating between the Maxwell criterion on bending-dominated and stretch dominated cells. These anisotropies can have value differences of up to 24 times with the same geometry, making them ideal for robotic morphing applications.
