Prevalence and in vitro study of human polyomavirus 9.

Little is known about human polyomavirus 9 (HPyV9). The mode of transmission and the site of replication are unknown, and seroprevalence data have been published with a wide range. A total of 1038 serum samples from individuals aged 0.

Systematic mapping of mitochondrial calcium uniporter channel (MCUC)-mediated calcium signaling networks.

The mitochondrial calcium uniporter channel (MCUC) mediates mitochondrial calcium entry, regulating energy metabolism and cell death. Although several MCUC components have been identified, the molecular basis of mitochondrial calcium signaling networks and their remodeling upon changes in uniporter activity have not been assessed. Here, we map the MCUC interactome under resting conditions and upon chronic loss or gain of mitochondrial calcium uptake.

DNA and seroprevalence study of MW and STL polyomaviruses.

The clinical importance and the pathogenesis of the MW and STL polyomaviruses (PyVs) remain unclear. Our aim was to study the seroprevalence of MWPyV and STLPyV, and to examine the prevalence of viral DNA in respiratory samples and secondary lymphoid tissues. In total, 618 serum samples (0.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Counting Algorithm Enables Accurate and Detailed Analysis of the Broad Spectrum of Spot Morphologies Observed in Antigen-Specific B-Cell ELISPOT and FluoroSpot Assays.

Antigen-specific B-cell ELISPOT and multicolor FluoroSpot assays, in which the membrane-bound antigen itself serves as the capture reagent for the antibodies that B cells secrete, inherently result in a broad range of spot sizes and intensities. The diversity of secretory footprint morphologies reflects the polyclonal nature of the antigen-specific B cell repertoire, with individual antibody-secreting B cells in the test sample differing in their affinity for the antigen, fine epitope specificity, and activation/secretion kinetics. To account for these heterogeneous spot morphologies, and to eliminate the need for setting up subjective counting parameters well-by-well, CTL introduces here its cutting-edge deep learning-based IntelliCount algorithm within the ImmunoSpot Studio Software Suite, which integrates CTL's proprietary deep neural network.

Multi-Compartmental Dissolution Method, an Efficient Tool for the Development of Enhanced Bioavailability Formulations Containing Poorly Soluble Acidic Drugs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of the Gastrointestinal Simulator (GIS), a multi-compartmental dissolution model, to predict the in vivo performance of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class IIa compounds. As the bioavailability enhancement of poorly soluble drugs requires a thorough understanding of the desired formulation, the appropriate in vitro modelling of the absorption mechanism is essential. Four immediate release ibuprofen 200 mg formulations were tested in the GIS using fasted biorelevant media.
