Nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) has emerged as a promising approach for inducing cell death in melanoma, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with chemotherapeutics. However, to date, there has been a shortage of studies exploring the impact of nsPEF on the expression of cancer-specific molecules. In this investigation, we sought to assess the effects of nsPEF on melanoma-specific MAGE (Melanoma Antigen Gene Protein Family) expression.

Over the last decade, multiple studies have investigated the heterogeneity of murine conventional dendritic cells type 2 (cDC2s). However, their phenotypic similarity with monocytes and macrophages renders their clear identification challenging. By creating a protein atlas utilizing multiparameter flow cytometry, we show that ESAM cDC2s are a specialized feature of the spleen strongly differing in their proteome from other cDC2s.

Article Synopsis
  • Plant-based beverages (PBs) are becoming popular as sustainable alternatives to dairy, and this study focuses on creating powdered versions of these drinks using spray drying without added carriers.
  • Various commercial sources like soy, almond, rice, and oat were tested, and modifications in spray drying methods improved the yield of the powdered products significantly, especially using low temperature drying.
  • The study employed techniques like Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to analyze the chemical composition and physical properties of the powdered PBs, confirming differences based on their processing methods.

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease that mostly affects the lungs and lymphatic system. Due to its rarity and variable clinical course, analyses of factors related to sarcoidosis should be based on large databases and long observation periods.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of patients with sarcoidosis hospitalized in Poland over a long period (2016-2021).
