Loss of function of ribosomal protein L13a blocks blastocyst formation and reveals a potential nuclear role in gene expression.

Ribosomal proteins play diverse roles in development and disease. Most ribosomal proteins have canonical roles in protein synthesis, while some exhibit extra-ribosomal functions. Previous studies in our laboratory revealed that ribosomal protein L13a (RPL13a) is involved in the translational silencing of a cohort of inflammatory proteins in myeloid cells.

Persistence and remote sensing of agri-food wastes in the environment: Current state and perspectives.

Food demand is expected to increase globally by 60-110% from 2005 to 2050 due to diet shifts and population growth. This growth in food demand leads to the generation of enormous agri-food wastes (AFWs), which could be classified into pre-consumption and post-consumption. The AFW represents economic losses for all stakeholders along food supply chains, including consumers.

A microCT imaging protocol for reproducible and efficient quantitative morphometric analysis (QMA) of joint structures of the in situ mouse tibio-femoral joint.

Micro-computed tomography (microCT) offers a three-dimensional (3D), high-resolution technique for the visualisation and analysis of bone microstructure. Using contrast-enhanced microCT, this capability has been expanded in recent studies to include cartilage morphometry and whole joint measures, known together as quantitative morphometric analysis (QMA). However, one of the main challenges in quantitative analysis of joint images is sensitivity to joint pose and alignment, which may influence measures related to both joint space and joint biomechanics.

Kinematic function of knee implant designs across a range of daily activities.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to measure and compare six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) knee joint motion of three total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant designs across a range of daily activities. Seventy-five TKA patients were recruited to this study and randomly assigned a posterior-stabilized (PS), cruciate-retaining (CR), or medial-stabilized (MS) implant. Six months after surgery, patients performed five activities of daily living: level walking, step-up, step-down, sit-to-stand, and stand-to-sit.

Mitochondria targeted dual-fluorescent probe for bio-imaging viscosity and F with different fluorescence signals.

The F ion and viscosity both affect the physiological state of mitochondria and to the best of our knowledge no fluorescent probe is reported for the dual detection of mitochondrial viscosity and F ion through different signals. DMAS-Si is weakly red fluorescent due to free intramolecular rotation between dimethylaminophenyl and pyridinium moieties and PET from silyloxy to the pyridinium moiety. In viscous medium (glycerol 90 %), the rotation is restricted and 18-fold increase in red-fluorescence (λ 637 nm) is observed.

Contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography of articular cartilage morphology with ioversol and iomeprol.

Non-ionic, low-osmolar contrast agents (CAs) used for computed tomography, such as Optiray (ioversol) and Iomeron (iomeprol), are associated with the reduced risk of adverse reactions and toxicity in comparison with ionic CAs, such as Hexabrix. Hexabrix has previously been used for imaging articular cartilage but has been commercially discontinued. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Optiray and Iomeron as alternatives for visualisation of articular cartilage in small animal joints using contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CECT).

Zinc biosorption, biochemical and molecular characterization of plant growth-promoting zinc-tolerant bacteria.

Zinc plays a key role in plant nutrition at low levels; however, at higher concentrations Zn ions can be highly phytotoxic and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can be used to reduce such metal toxicity. In the present investigation we had reported the zinc biosorption and molecular characterization of plant growth-promoting zinc-tolerant bacteria. Initially, thirty bacteria having zinc solubilizing ability were screened for MIC against zinc ion and displayed high value of MIC ranging from 2.

Potential Substitutes for Replacement of Lead in Perovskite Solar Cells: A Review.

Lead halide perovskites have displayed the highest solar power conversion efficiencies of 23% but the toxicity issues of these materials need to be addressed. Lead-free perovskites have emerged as viable candidates for potential use as light harvesters to ensure clean and green photovoltaic technology. The substitution of lead by Sn, Ge, Bi, Sb, Cu and other potential candidates have reported efficiencies of up to 9%, but there is still a dire need to enhance their efficiencies and stability within the air.

Mutually exclusive amino acid residues of L13a are responsible for its ribosomal incorporation and translational silencing leading to resolution of inflammation.

Eukaryotic ribosomal protein L13a is a member of the conserved universal ribosomal uL13 protein family. Structurally, L13a is distinguished from its prokaryotic counterparts by the presence of an ∼55 amino acid-long carboxy-terminal α-helical extension. The importance of these evolved residues in the carboxy-terminal extension for mammalian ribosome biogenesis as well as L13a's extraribosomal function in GAIT (γ interferon-activated inhibitor of translation) complex-mediated translation silencing during inflammation is not understood.
