Development, production and characterization of SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles (Coronaviridae: ).

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has created serious health problems worldwide. The most effective way to prevent the occurrence of new epidemic outbreaks is vaccination. One of the modern and effective approaches to vaccine development is the use of virus-like particles (VLPs).

Long-read sequencing of extrachromosomal circular DNA and genome assembly of a Solanum lycopersicum breeding line revealed active LTR retrotransposons originating from S. Peruvianum L. introgressions.

Transposable elements (TEs) are a major force in the evolution of plant genomes. Differences in the transposition activities and landscapes of TEs can vary substantially, even in closely related species. Interspecific hybridization, a widely employed technique in tomato breeding, results in the creation of novel combinations of TEs from distinct species.

Controlling the Quality of Nanodrugs According to Their New Property-Radiothermal Emission.

Previous studies have shown that complexly shaped nanoparticles (NPs) have their intrinsic radiothermal emission in the millimeter range. This article presents a method for controlling the quality of nanodrugs-immunobiological preparations (IBPs)-based on the detection of their intrinsic radiothermal emissions. The emissivity of interferon (IFN) medicals, determined without opening the primary package, is as follows (µW/m): IFN-α2b-80 ± 9 (10 IU per package), IFN-β1a-40 ± 5 (24 × 10 IU per package), IFN-γ-30 ± 4 (10 IU per package).

Hyper-Raman spectroscopy of biomolecules.

The hyper-Raman scattering (HRS) spectra of biologically significant molecules (D-glucose, L-alanine, L-arabinose, L-tartaric acid) in aqueous solutions are reported. The HRS spectra were measured using a picosecond laser at 532 nm operating at a MHz repetition rate. High signal to noise spectra were collected with a commercial spectrometer and CCD without resonant, nanoparticle, or surface enhancement.
