Differential Neurotoxicity Induced in Rats by Injection of PMs from 31 Major Cities in China.

The effects of particulate matter (PMs) from different cities on the nervous system remain unclear. In this study, aqueous solutions of 0.45 μm membrane-filtered PM from 31 major Chinese cities were intravenously administered to rats.

Thin Layer Chromatography Goes Ultrasmall to Assay Sphingosine Kinase Activation in Single Primary Leukemic Cells.

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in lipid signaling underlies variations in response and recurrence for many cancers, including leukemias. A highly parallel, miniaturized thin-layer chromatographic platform capable of assaying single cells was developed. Ultrasmall volumes (50 pL) of standard fluorescent lipids were separated with excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and limits of detection.

Neuroregulation during Bone Formation and Regeneration: Mechanisms and Strategies.

The skeleton is highly innervated by numerous nerve fibers. These nerve fibers, in addition to transmitting information within the bone and mediating bone sensations, play a crucial role in regulating bone tissue formation and regeneration. Traditional bone tissue engineering (BTE) often fails to achieve satisfactory outcomes when dealing with large-scale bone defects, which is frequently related to the lack of effective reconstruction of the neurovascular network.

Single-cell transcriptomics identifies the common perturbations of monocyte/macrophage lineage cells in inflammaging of bone marrow.

Background: Bone marrow inflammaging is a low-grade chronic inflammation that induces bone marrow aging. Multiple age-related and inflammatory diseases involve bone marrow inflammaging. Whether common pathological pathways exist in bone marrow inflammaging remains unclear.

Preparation and application of a multiepitope fusion protein based on bioinformatics and Tandem Mass Tag-based proteomics technology.

Introduction: Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease that poses a considerable challenge to global public health. Existing diagnostic methods for this condition, such as serological assays and bacterial culture, encounter difficulties due to their limited specificity and high operational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of enhanced diagnostic approaches for brucellosis.
