CE-MS and CE-MS/MS for the multiattribute analysis of monoclonal antibody variants at the subunit level.

The analysis of product-related substances and impurities is a critical step in the biopharmaceutical quality control of multiattribute monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), as posttranslational modifications or other variants can influence the product's biological activity. Many approaches are available for variant analysis; however, they are either variant-specific, mAb-specific, time-consuming, or require expensive equipment. Here, we present a generic capillary electrophoretic method based on a neutral-coated capillary which was coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) via the nanoCEasy interface for mAb variant analysis at the subunit level (enzymatically digested and reduced mAb).

Application of Motivational Interviewing in climate-sensitive health counselling - A workshop report.

Introduction: This workshop report explores the application of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in Climate-sensitive Health Counselling (CSHC) within the context of primary health care. As there is a growing interest in the connection of individual health and climate change mitigation, we provide practical guidance on integrating MI techniques in CSHC.

Methods: In June 2023, a 2-day workshop on MI was conducted at the Institute of General Medicine, University of Cologne.

Vitamin E biofortification: enhancement of seed tocopherol concentrations by altered chlorophyll metabolism.

Homogentisate Phytyltransferase () catalyzes condensation of homogentisate (HGA) and phytyl diphosphate (PDP) to produce tocopherols, but can also synthesize tocotrienols using geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP) in plants engineered for deregulated HGA synthesis. In contrast to prior tocotrienol biofortification efforts, engineering enhanced tocopherol concentrations in green oilseeds has proven more challenging due to the integral role of chlorophyll metabolism in supplying the PDP substrate. This study show that RNAi suppression of coupled with overexpression increases tocopherol concentrations by >two-fold in Arabidopsis seeds.

[17 years of the critical incident reporting and learning system "jeder-fehler-zaehlt.de" for primary care: Analysis of reports].

Background: The topic of patient safety has been a subject of much discussion since the end of the last millennium. Ensuring patient safety is a central challenge in health care. An important tool to raise awareness for and learn from adverse events and thus promote patient safety are error-reporting and learning systems (Critical Incident Reporting System = CIRS).
