| 1 | Room-temperature continuous-wave electrically pumped InGaN/GaN quantum well blue laser diode directly grown on Si显示文摘Current laser-based display and lighting applications are invariably using blue laser diodes(LDs)grown on freestanding GaN substrates,which are costly and smaller in size compared with other substrate materials.1–3 Utilizing less expensive and large-diameter Si substrates for hetero-epitaxial growth of indium gallium nitride/gallium nitride(InGaN/GaN)multiple quantum well(MQW)structure can substantially reduce the cost of blue LDs and boost their applications.To obtain a high crystalline quality crack-free GaN thin film on Si for the subsequent growth of a blue laser structure,a hand-shaking structure was formed by inserting Al-composition step down-graded AlN/AlxGa1−xN buffer layers between GaN and Si substrate.Thermal degradation in InGaN/GaN blue MQWs was successfully suppressed with indium-rich clusters eliminated by introducing hydrogen during the growth of GaN quantum barriers(QBs)and lowering the growth temperature for the p-type AlGaN/GaN superlattice optical cladding layer.A continuous-wave(CW)electrically pumped InGaN/GaN quantum well(QW)blue(450 nm)LD grown on Si was successfully demonstrated at room temperature(RT)with a threshold current density of 7.8 kA/cm^(2). | Yi Sun Kun Zhou Meixin Feng Zengcheng Li Yu Zhou Qian Sun Jianping Liu Liqun Zhang Deyao Li Xiaojuan Sun Dabing Li Shuming Zhang Masao Ikeda Hui Yang | 2018 | Light(Science & Applications)2018,7,1: | 5 |
| 2 | A wireless, implantable optoelectrochemical probe for optogenetic stimulation and dopamine detection显示文摘Physical and chemical technologies have been continuously progressing advances in neuroscience research.The development of research tools for closed-loop control and monitoring neural activities in behaving animals is highly desirable.In this paper,we introduce a wirelessly operated,miniaturized microprobe system for optical interrogation and neurochemical sensing in the deep brain.Via epitaxial liftoff and transfer printing,microscale light-emitting diodes(micro-LEDs)as light sources and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT:PSS)-coated diamond films as electrochemical sensors are vertically assembled to form implantable optoelectrochemical probes for real-time optogenetic stimulation and dopamine detection capabilities.A customized,lightweight circuit module is employed for untethered,remote signal control,and data acquisition.After the probe is injected into the ventral tegmental area(VTA)of freely behaving mice,in vivo experiments clearly demonstrate the utilities of the multifunctional optoelectrochemical microprobe system for optogenetic interference of place preferences and detection of dopamine release.The presented options for material and device integrations provide a practical route to simultaneous optical control and electrochemical sensing of complex nervous systems. | Changbo Liu Yu Zhao Xue Cai Yang Xie Taoyi Wang Dali Cheng Lizhu Li Rongfeng Li Yuping Deng He Ding Guoqing Lv Guanlei Zhao Lei Liu Guisheng Zou Meixin Feng Qian Sun Lan Yin Xing Sheng | 2020 | Microsystems & Nanoengineering2020,6,1: | 3 |
| 3 | Al-free cladding-layer blue laser diodes with a low aspect ratio in far-field beam pattern显示文摘c-plane GaN-based blue laser diodes(LDs) were fabricated with Al-free cladding layers(CLs) and deepened etching depth of mesa structure, so the aspect ratio of the far-field pattern(FFP) of the laser beam can be reduced to as low as 1.7, which is nearly the same as conventional AlGa In P-based red LDs. By using GaN CLs,the radiation angle of the laser beam θ⊥ is only 10.1° in the direction perpendicular to the junction plane. After forming a deeply etched mesa, the beam divergence angle parallel to the junction plane of FFP, θ_(//), increases from4.9° to 5.8°. After using the modified structure, the operation voltage of LD is effectively reduced by 2 V at an injection current of 50 mA, but the threshold current value increases. The etching damage may be one of the main reasons responsible for the increase of the threshold current. | Meixin Feng Qian Sun Jianping Liu Zengcheng Li Yu Zhou Hongwei Gao Shuming Zhang Hui Yang | 2018 | Journal of Semiconductors2018,39,8: | 1 |
| 4 | CRISPR/Cas9 therapeutics:progress and prospects显示文摘Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9(Cas9)gene-editing technology is the ideal tool of the future for treating diseases by permanently correcting deleterious base mutations or disrupting disease-causing genes with great precision and efficiency.A variety of efficient Cas9 variants and derivatives have been developed to cope with the complex genomic changes that occur during diseases.However,strategies to effectively deliver the CRISPR system to diseased cells in vivo are currently lacking,and nonviral vectors with target recognition functions may be the focus of future research.Pathological and physiological changes resulting from disease onset are expected to serve as identifying factors for targeted delivery or targets for gene editing.Diseases are both varied and complex,and the choice of appropriate gene-editing methods and delivery vectors for different diseases is important.Meanwhile,there are still many potential challenges identified when targeting delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 technology for disease treatment.This paper reviews the current developments in three aspects,namely,gene-editing type,delivery vector,and disease characteristics.Additionally,this paper summarizes successful examples of clinical trials and finally describes possible problems associated with current CRISPR applications. | Tianxiang Li Yanyan Yang Hongzhao Qi Weigang Cui Lin Zhang Xiuxiu Fu Xiangqin He Meixin Liu Pei-feng Li Tao Yu | 2023 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2023,8,2: | 0 |
| 5 | GaN-based ultraviolet microdisk laser diode grown on Si显示文摘This work reports a demonstration of electrically injected GaN-based near-ultraviolet microdisk laser diodes with a lasing wavelength of 386.3 nm at room temperature. The crack-free laser structure was epitaxially grown on Si substrates using an Al-composed down-graded Al N/AlGaN multilayer buffer to mitigate the mismatches in the lattice constant and coefficient of thermal expansion, and processed into “sandwich-like” microdisk structures with a radius of 12 μm. Air-bridge electrodes were successfully fabricated to enable the device electrical characterization. The electrically pumped lasing of the as-fabricated microdisk laser diodes was evidenced by the rapid narrowing down of electroluminescence spectra and dramatic increase in the light output power, as the current exceeded the threshold of 248 mA. | JIN WANG MEIXIN FENG RUI ZHOU QIAN SUN JIANXUN LIU YINGNAN HUANG YU ZHOU HONGWEI GAO XINHE ZHENG MASAO IKEDA HUI YANG | 2019 | Photonics Research2019,7,6: | 0 |
| 6 | Lipid metabolism dysfunction induced by age-dependent DNA methylation accelerates aging显示文摘Epigenetic alterations and metabolic dysfunction are two hallmarks of aging.However,the mechanism of how their interaction regulates aging,particularly in mammals,remains largely unknown.Here we show ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2(Elovl2),a gene whose epigenetic alterations are most highly correlated with age prediction,contributes to aging by regulating lipid metabolism.We applied artificial intelligence to predict the protein structure of ELOVL2 and the interaction with its substrate.Impaired Elovl2 function disturbs lipid synthesis with increased endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction,leading to key aging phenotypes at both cellular and physiological level.Furthermore,restoration of mitochondrial activity can rescue age-related macular degeneration(AMD)phenotypes induced by Elovl2 deficiency in human retinal pigmental epithelial(RPE)cells;this indicates a conservative mechanism in both human and mouse.Taken together,we revealed an epigenetic-metabolism axis contributing to aging and illustrate the power of an AI-based approach in structure-function studies. | Xin Li Jiaqiang Wang LeYun Wang Yuanxu Gao Guihai Feng Gen Li Jun Zou Meixin Yu Yu Fei Li Chao Liu Xue Wei Yuan Ling Zhao Hong Ouyang Jian-Kang Zhu Wei Li Qi Zhou Kang Zhang | 2022 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2022,7,6: | 0 |
| 7 | Light output improvement of GaN-based light-emitting diodes grown on Si (111) by a via-thin-film structure显示文摘This work reports the fabrication of via-thin-film light-emitting diode(via-TF-LED)to improve the light output power(LOP)of blue/white Ga N-based LEDs grown on Si(111)substrates.The as-fabricated via-TF-LEDs were featured with a roughened n-GaN surface and the p-GaN surface bonded to a wafer carrier with a silver-based reflective electrode,together with an array of embedded n-type via pillar metal contact from the p-Ga N surface etched through the multiple-quantum-wells(MQWs)into the n-Ga N layer.When operated at 350 m A,the via-TF-LED gave an enhanced blue LOP by 7.8%and over 3.5 times as compared to the vertical thin-film LED(TF-LED)and the conventional lateral structure LED(LS-LED).After covering with yellow phosphor that converts some blue photons into yellow light,the via-TF-LED emitted an enhanced white luminous flux by 13.5%and over 5times,as compared with the white TF-LED and the white LS-LED,respectively.The significant LOP improvement of the via-TF-LED was attributed to the elimination of light absorption by the Si(111)epitaxial substrate and the finger-like n-electrodes on the roughened emitting surface. | Zengcheng LI Bo Feng Biao Deng Legong Liu Yingnan Huang Meixin Feng Yu Zhou Hanmin Zhao Qian Sun Huaibing Wang Xiaoli Yang Hui Yang | 2018 | Journal of Semiconductors2018,39,4: | 0 |
| 8 | Elemental sulfur upregulated testicular testosterone biosynthesis by associating with altered gut microbiota in mice显示文摘Elemental sulfur has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat the late-onset hypogonadism and impotence without a clarified mechanism for many hundreds of years.In the present study,mice were received sulfur or distilled water for 35 days by daily intragastric gavage at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight.Then,the serum testosterone level and genes associated with testicular testosterone biosynthesis(TTB)were detected.The gut microbiota was also analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Serum testosterone level was significantly increased by 291.1%in sulfur-treated mice.The H2S levels in serum and feces were significantly increased.The expression of genes associated with TTB including StAR,p450c17,3β-HSD,and P450scc in testes were significantly upregulated by Sulfur and NaHS,suggesting that sulfur promotes TTB depending on H2S.In addition,sulfur increased the diversity of gut microbiota and the abundance of several bacteria associated with sulfur metabolism,including genus Prevotella,which might be positively associated with serum level of testosterone in boys.Five pathways including bile secretion,carotenoid biosynthesis,lipid biosynthesis proteins,propanoate metabolism,and biosynthesis of type II polyketide products,were identified to associate with sulfur.Together,our results suggested that sulfur upregulated testicular testosterone biosynthesis via H2S,which was associated with alteration of gut microbiota in mice.Our study highlights a mechanism for the treatment of late-onset hypogonadism and impotence by sulfur. | YUAN BI TIANQI LI HONGJIE PAN MING GUO LIANGKANG CHEN QI QI MEIXIN ZHANG LINGLING ZHANG LININ YU XIAOFENG WAN HUAJUN ZHENG RUNSHENG LI | 2020 | BIOCELL2020,44,3: | 0 |
