Title: How to live healthier and longer? ---From alchemy to targeting mitochondria

Abstract: The pursuit of health, longevity, and even immortality has been a dream of humanity since ancient times. Over thousands of years, people have made various and bizarre efforts and attempts. However, it was only in the 20th and 21st centuries, when science and technology had developed to a high level and scientists had gained a deep understanding of life at the molecular and cellular levels, that the mysteries of human health and longevity have been gradually unlocked. People could adopt scientific approaches to health preservation, disease prevention and treatment, thereby achieving the goal of health and longevity. This presentation will start with ancient alchemy and modern cloning, detailing our latest advancements in the free radical-mitochondrial aging theory, which is the most widely concerned topic in aging science, and explore the scientific path to health and longevity by emphasizing our studies on mitochondrial epigenetics.

Title: Nonlinear Signal Modeling and Its Application in Electrochemical Sensing

Abstract: Due to the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, and rapid response, electrochemical methods have been widely applied in a series of biomarkers detection. In this field, an important question is how to obtain high sensing performance, which is highly related to the signal sensing mechanism. However, most reported studies have focused on the novel electrode materials design, and pay much less attention to the sensing data, especially those data points in the nonlinear region. This leads to the inconsistency of the experimental data in different works, making it difficult to point out how to construct an electrochemical system with high performance. We focused on the sensing mechanism and the construction of a high-performance electrochemical system. Firstly, a modified reaction-diffusion model was constructed for the initial qualitative investigation of the sensing data through the numerical method. On this basis, a nonlinear model that possesses clearer physics meaning and can quantitatively describe the experimental data was obtained by analyzing the reaction process. Finally, with the combination of micro-electronics, microfluidics, and laser-induced electrode preparation technique, the proposed nonlinear model was used in the practical applications for the validity tests. This study aims to offer novel insights for analyzing sensor performance data. This research was granted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 62371475)
