Safety assessment approaches of novel food, currently adopted in the Russian Federation, imply mandatory in vivo reproductive toxicity tests with the study of reproductive function and offspring development in order to obtain comprehensive evidence of the absence of distant adverse effects that may manifest only in the next generation. Comprehensive study of reproductive function, pre- and postnatal offspring development, as a rule, includes the research of a large number of parameters, all of which has a wide range of physiological fluctuations, and the heterogeneous distribution of some parameters' values complicates the interpretation of the results. of the study was to investigate the efficiency of a reduced adaptive potential model in rats, based on decreased diet protein intake, for the use in reproductive toxicity experiments.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetes increases the risk of ischemic stroke by worsening cerebral damage due to hyperglycemia, though the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • This study presents novel findings on the real-time dynamics of hydrogen peroxide (HO) in neuronal mitochondria during ischemic stroke, using advanced technology on both cultured cells and rat brains.
  • Results indicate that high blood sugar doesn't impact HO generation in the ischemic area but does worsen the overall effects of the stroke, revealing how elevated glucose levels can alter mitochondrial function in neurons.

Ionospheric plasma irregularities can be successfully studied with the Swarm satellites. Parameters derived from the in-situ plasma measurements and from the topside ionosphere total electron content provide a comprehensive dataset for characterizing plasma structuring along the orbits of the Swarm satellites. The Ionospheric Plasma IRregularities (IPIR) data product summarizes these parameters and allows for systematic studies of ionospheric irregularities.

We present experiments on cell cultures and brain slices that demonstrate two-photon optogenetic pH sensing and pH-resolved brain imaging using a laser driver whose spectrum is carefully tailored to provide the maximum contrast of a ratiometric two-photon fluorescence readout from a high-brightness genetically encoded yellow-fluorescent-protein-based sensor, SypHer3s. Two spectrally isolated components of this laser field are set to induce two-photon-excited fluorescence (2PEF) by driving SypHer3s through one of two excitation pathways-via either the protonated or deprotonated states of its chromophore. With the spectrum of the laser field accurately adjusted for a maximum contrast of these two 2PEF signals, the ratio of their intensities is shown to provide a remarkably broad dynamic range for pH measurements, enabling high-contrast optogenetic deep-brain pH sensing and pH-resolved 2PEF imaging within a vast class of biological systems, ranging from cell cultures to the living brain.

Redox reactions are of high fundamental and practical interest since they are involved in both normal physiology and the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, this area of research has always been a relatively problematic field in the context of analytical approaches, mostly because of the unstable nature of the compounds that are measured. Genetically encoded sensors allow for the registration of highly reactive molecules in real-time mode and, therefore, they began a new era in redox biology.

We present brain imaging experiments on rat cortical areas, demonstrating that, when combined with a suitable high-brightness, cell-specific genetically encoded fluorescent marker, three-photon-excited fluorescence (3PEF), enables subcellular-resolution, cell-specific 3D brain imaging that is fully compatible and readily integrable with other nonlinear-optical imaging modalities, including two-photon-fluorescence and harmonic-generation microscopy. With laser excitation provided by sub-100-fs, 1.25-µm laser pulses, cell-specific 3PEF from astrocytes and their processes detected in parallel with a three-photon-resonance-enhanced third harmonic from blood vessels is shown to enable a high-contrast 3D imaging of gliovascular interfaces.

Genetically encoded biosensors based on fluorescent proteins (FPs) are a reliable tool for studying the various biological processes in living systems. The circular permutation of single FPs led to the development of an extensive class of biosensors that allow the monitoring of many intracellular events. In circularly permuted FPs (cpFPs), the original N- and C-termini are fused using a peptide linker, while new termini are formed near the chromophore.

We demonstrate stain-free, high-contrast, subcellular-resolution imaging of astroglial cells using epi-detected third-harmonic generation (THG). The astrocyte-imaging capability of THG is verified by colocalizing THG images with fluorescence images of astrocytes expressing a genetically encodable fluorescent reporter. We show that THG imaging with an optimized point-spread function can reliably detect significant subcellular features of astrocytes, including cell nuclei, as well as the soma shape and boundaries.

Cellular antioxidant systems control the levels of hydrogen peroxide (HO) within cells. Multiple theoretical models exist that predict the diffusion properties of HO depending on the rate of HO generation and amount and reaction rates of antioxidant machinery components. Despite these theoretical predictions, it has remained unknown how antioxidant systems shape intracellular HO gradients.

We describe in this case report the clinical situation of development of massive macrohematuria at the background of dual antiplatelet therapy in a patient in the acute period of myocardial infarction with an established diagnosis of kidney cancer and a burdened cardiac anamnesis. Despite the high anesthetic and operational risk of complications, due to the need for coronary angiography with possible stenting of the coronary arteries, left ventricular thrombus and the impossibility of canceling antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, the patient underwent radical nephrureterectomy, which allowed further stenting of the anterior interventricular artery occlusion and thus to reduce the risk of developing a repeated myocardial infarction.
