Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are closely associated with physiological and pathological processes of a variety of diseases, such as osteosarcoma. Developing a simple and sensitive sEVs detection strategy is crucial to the in-deep study and clinical diagnosis of many disease. We developed...

Although pesticides are often discharged into surface waters in pulses as opposed to a sustained release, the effect of episodic pollution events on aquatic invertebrates is largely unknown. We monitored change in heart rate and distance moved to assess the immediate response of signal crayfish...

Synthetic biology enabling technologies have been harnessed to create new diagnostic technologies. However, most strategies involve error-prone amplification steps and limitations of accuracy in RNA detection. Here, a cell-free synthetic biology-powered biosensing strategy, termed as SHARK ( S...

This paper presents a first experimental investigation of the underpricing-signaling hypothesis in a financing-investment environment under asymmetric information. Importantly, the paper tests and compares this hypothesis under the two institutions for financing offers that are commonly observed...

This note provides sufficient conditions for the existence of equilibrium in a class of extended Bayesian persuasion models. We consider a framework in which a single sender discloses public information to n receivers. After observing the sender’s signal, the receivers update their beliefs to...

Two activists with correlated private positions in a firm's stock, trade sequentially before simultaneously exerting effort that determines the firm's value. We document the existence of a novel linear equilibrium in which an activist's trades have positive sensitivity to her block size, but...
