Isolation of B Cells Using Silane-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles.

One of the most important advantages and applications of coated nanoparticles in biological applications is their use in isolating different types of cells to diagnose and treat all types of diseases. Therefore, in this research work, the possibility of isolation and enrichment of B cells using magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been investigated. In this regard, magnetic nanoparticles are first coated with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane to make them hydrophilic and prevent their clumping, then reacted with and rendered biocompatible by FITC anti-human CD20 antibody.

In situ synthesis of long tubular water-dispersible polyaniline with core/shell gold and silver@graphene oxide nanoparticles for gas sensor application.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with graphene oxide (GO) shell (Au@GO), silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with GO shell (Ag@GO), and gold silver nanoparticles (AuAgNPs) with GO shell (AuAg@GO) were synthesized employing a cationic surfactant. The prepared core@shell structures were used for in situ synthesis of long tubular polyaniline structures employing cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a soft template. This process led to a notable enhancement in the tubular nanostructure of PANI, extending its length beyond 10 μm, in the case of using core/shell Au@GO, Ag@GO, and AuAg@GO structures.

Preconditioning intensive training ameliorates reduction of transcription biofactors of PGC1α-pathway in paretic muscle due to cerebral ischemia.

Exercise training increases fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5/irisin) via the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α)-pathway. The PGC1α pathway induced FNDC5/irisin changes in response to exercise training and ischemic stroke are not entirely understood. We investigated the relation of the PGC-1α/FNDC5/irisin pathway to exercise training and to the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke in paretic muscles of stroke-induced rat models.

Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on Cardiac Apoptosis Markers in Methamphetamine-Dependent Rats.

Chronic methamphetamine use increases apoptosis, leading to heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Previous studies have shown the importance of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in reducing indices of cardiac tissue apoptosis in different patients, but in the field of sports science, the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis in methamphetamine-dependent rats are still unclear. The present article aimed to investigate the changes in cardiac apoptosis markers in methamphetamine-dependent rats in response to HIIT.

Effect of high-intensity interval training and high-intensity resistance training on irisin and fibroblast growth factor 21 in men with overweight and obesity.

Adipose tissue browning is a physiological process that increases energy expenditure and may combat against obesity and its related risk factors. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and irisin, hormones affected by exercise that also affect adipose tissue browning, have not been widely studied with regard to exercise type and duration. This study compared the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) on irisin and FGF21 in men living with overweight and obesity.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) on gene expression and antioxidant status of the hippocampus of METH-dependent rats. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four equal groups (n = 8): saline, METH, MIIT, and METH + MIIT.

Resistance Training before, during, and after COVID-19 Infection: What Have We Learned So Far?

At the end of 2019, a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2 started a pandemic, leading to millions of deaths and many important political and social changes. Even in the absence of contamination, the mobility reduction, social distancing and closing of exercise facilities negatively affected physical activity and conditioning, which is associated with muscle atrophy, loss of muscle strength, and reductions in functional capacity. In cases of infection, it has been shown that increased physical capacity is associated with decreased hospitalization and mortality risk.

Effects of different quantities of antibody conjugated with magnetic nanoparticles on cell separation efficiency.

Antibody-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (Ab-MNPs) have received considerable attention in bioseparation and clinical diagnostics assays due to their unique ability to detect and isolate a variety of biomolecules and cells. Because antibodies can be expensive, a key challenge for bioconjugation is to determine the optimal amount of antibodies with reasonable antigen-capturing activity. We designed an approach to determine the minimum amounts of antibodies for efficient coating.

Synthesis of some Mg/Co-Al type nano hydrotalcites and characterization.

Hydrotalcites are quite prevalent in nature and their importance is growing more and more because of their very wide range of potential applications and uses. Because hydrotalcite does not exist in significant quantities in nature, coprecipitation methods are the most used for prepartion of hydrotalcite. In this study: Two types of Nano hydrotalcite compounds containing one divalent (Mg-Al) and two divalent cation(Co-Mg-Al) were synthesized based on aqueous solutions of corresponding nitrates by co-precipitation method.
