Fatty Acid Content and Profile in in Response to Exposure to Variable Growth Conditions in Indoor Photobioreactors.

Seaweed presents a sustainable alternative source of valuable fatty acids (FAs) involving omega-3 (-3) and omega-6 (). As such, there is great potential to reduce pressure on wild fish populations, helping to combat overfishing and its associated global impacts. This study explored the effect of various environmental factors on the FA content and profile of using indoor photobioreactors.

Bioconversion of bread waste into high-quality proteins and biopolymers by fermentation of archaea .

The valorization of bread waste into high-quality protein and biopolymers using the halophilic microorganism presents a sustainable approach to food waste management and resource optimization. This study successfully coproduced protein and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biopolymer with a biomass content of 8.0 ± 0.

Quaternary Ammonium Silica Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Implantable Medical Devices: An In Vitro Study.

Biofilm formation on prostheses and implanted devices can lead to serious complications and increased healthcare expenditures. Once formed, biofilm management is difficult and may involve a long course of antibiotics, additional surgery, and, occasionally, implant removal. This study evaluated the antibacterial properties of medical-grade silicone samples integrated with novel, non-leaching, antibacterial, quaternary ammonium silica (QASi) particles.

Differential Expression Analysis of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Basal Cell Carcinoma Proteomic Profiles Sampled with Electroporation-Based Biopsy.

Clinical misdiagnosis between cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) affects treatment plans. We report a tissue sampling approach with molecular biopsy using electroporation. This method, coined electroporation-based biopsy (e-biopsy), enables nondestructive nonthermal permeabilization of cells in the skin for vacuum-assisted extraction of biomolecules.

Proteome Expression Signatures: Differences between Orbital and Subcutaneous Abdominal Adipose Tissues.

Differences between orbital and subcutaneous abdominal fat in the same patient have been noted but not formally investigated, previously. The objective of this research was to compare the differential expression of protein profiles in subcutaneous abdominal and orbital adipose tissues. In this cross-sectional, observational study, orbital fat tissue was sampled from 10 patients who underwent blepharoplasty and agreed to provide a small sample of subcutaneous abdominal fat.
