Comparative Proteomic Identification of Ram Sperm before and after In Vitro Capacitation.

Ram sperm undergo a sequence of physiological and biochemical changes collectively termed as capacitation to perform oocyte fertilization. However, the protein changes induced by capacitation remain in need of further exploration. Thus, the present study investigated the comparative proteomic profiling in ram spermatozoa under non-capacitating (NC) and capacitating (CAP) conditions in vitro using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry combined with tandem mass tag labeling strategy.

Contributions of Surface Oxidizing Species and Cu to the Antibacterial Activities of CuO with Different Crystalline Structures.

Although precise regulation of the crystalline structures of metal oxides is an effective method to improve their antibacterial activities, the corresponding mechanisms involved in this process are still unclear. In this study, three kinds of cuprous oxide (CuO) samples with different structures of cubes, octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra (c-CuO, o-CuO, and r-CuO) have been successfully synthesized and their antibacterial activities are compared. The antibacterial activities follow the order of r-CuO > o-CuO > c-CuO, revealing the significant dependence of the antibacterial activities on the crystalline structures of CuO.

Glutathione-activated biotin-targeted dual-modal imaging probe with improved PDT/PTT synergistic therapy.

Background: Glutathione (GSH), a highly abundant thiol compound within cells, plays a critical role in physiological processes and exhibits close correlation with cancer. Among molecular imaging technologies, most probes have relatively short emission wavelengths and lack photoacoustic imaging (PA) capability, resulting in the inability to obtain tissue images with high penetration depth. The presence of GSH in the tumor microenvironment neutralizes ROS, diminishing the therapeutic effect of PDT, thus resulting in often unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy.
