Dataset on Electric Road Mobility: Historical and Evolution Scenarios until 2050.

An increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected in the coming decades mainly due to the need to achieve carbon neutrality until 2050. However, predicting electric mobility's future is challenging due to three main factors: technological advancements, regulatory policies, and consumer behaviour. The projections presented in this study are based on several scenarios driven mainly from reports published by public entities and consultants.

Stressed? Break-induced replication comes to the rescue!

Break-induced replication (BIR) is a homologous recombination (HR) pathway that repairs one-ended DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which can result from replication fork collapse, telomere erosion, and other events. Eukaryotic BIR has been mainly investigated in yeast, where it is initiated by invasion of the broken DNA end into a homologous sequence, followed by extensive replication synthesis proceeding to the chromosome end. Multiple recent studies have described BIR in mammalian cells, the properties of which show many similarities to yeast BIR.

Catalytically Active SiO Aerogels Comprising Chelate Complexes of Palladium.

A series of silica-based aerogels comprising novel bifunctional chelating ligands was prepared. To produce target aerogels, two aminosilanes, namely (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS) and -(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS), were acylated by natural amino acids (()-(+)-2-phenylglycine or -phenylalanine), followed by gelation and supercritical drying (SCD). Lithium tetrachloropalladate was used as the metal ion source to prepare strong complexes of Pd with amino acids covalently bonded to a silica matrix.

Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres in Yeast: Old Questions and New Approaches.

Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a homologous recombination-based pathway utilized by 10-15% of cancer cells that allows cells to maintain their telomeres in the absence of telomerase. This pathway was originally discovered in the yeast and, for decades, yeast has served as a robust model to study ALT. Using yeast as a model, two types of ALT (-dependent and -independent) have been described.

Sarcoidosis-related autoimmune inflammation in COVID-19 convalescent patients.

Currently, there are a large number of reports about the development of autoimmune conditions after COVID-19. Also, there have been cases of sarcoid-like granulomas in convalescents as a part of the post-COVID-19 syndrome. Since one of the etiological theories of sarcoidosis considers it to be an autoimmune disease, we decided to study changes in the adaptive humoral immune response in sarcoidosis and SARS-CoV-2 infection and to find out whether COVID-19 can provoke the development of sarcoidosis.

A Key Role of CD8+ T Cells in Controlling of Tuberculosis Infection.

Unlabelled: The main role in the control of tuberculosis infection is played by macrophages and Th1 and CD8+ T cells. The study aimed to identify the most diagnostically significant CD8+ T cell subsets in tuberculosis patients.

Methods: Peripheral blood samples from patients with clinical, radiological, and bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB, n = 32) and healthy subjects (HC, n = 31) were collected and analyzed using 10-color flow cytometry.

Highly Porous Para-Aramid Aerogel as a Heterogeneous Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Unsaturated Organic Compounds.

A new para-aramid aerogel based on a polymer made by the reaction of terephthaloyl dichloride with 2-(4-aminophenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-5-amine (PABI) is introduced. The aerogel readily bound Pd (+2) ions and was used as a hydrogenation catalyst in some industrially actual reactions. The new material, which did not contain p-phenylenediamine moieties, was prepared in two form factors: bulk samples and spherical pellets of 700-900 μm in diameter.

Identification of the nuclear localization signal in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1 DNA helicase.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1 is a multi-functional DNA helicase that plays diverse roles in the maintenance of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Two isoforms of Pif1 are generated from a single open reading frame by the use of alternative translational start sites. The Mitochondrial Targeting Signal (MTS) of Pif1 is located between the two start sites, but a Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS) has not been identified.

Circulating Regulatory T Cell Subsets in Patients with Sarcoidosis.

Unlabelled: Over recent years, many researchers have supported the autoimmune theory of sarcoidosis. The presence of uncontrolled inflammatory response on local and system levels in patients with sarcoidosis did not define that the immunoregulatory mechanisms could be affected. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution and the disturbance circulating Treg cell subsets in the peripheral blood in patients with sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis and Autoimmune Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants.

Currently, sarcoidosis remains one of the diseases with unknown etiology, which significantly complicates its diagnosis and treatment. Various causes of sarcoidosis have been studied for many years. Both organic and inorganic trigger factors, provoking the development of granulomatous inflammation are considered.

Glycerol-Free Equilibration with the Addition of Glycerol Shortly before the Freezing Procedure: A Perspective Strategy for Cryopreservation of Wallachian Ram Sperm.

This study investigated the effect of glycerol added in different phases of sperm equilibration on CASA and flow cytometry parameters of thawed ram spermatozoa. Sperm was collected from adult Wallachian rams. The freezing extender was glycerol-free ANDROMED (Minitub GmbH, Tiefenbach, Germany) supplied by 6% exogenous glycerol at different stages of the cryopreservation process.

Identification of autoimmune markers in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Introduction: Pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases is mainly promoted by poorly regulated and/or wrong targeted immune response to pathogens including . Autoimmunity is one of the processes with are characteristics of tuberculosis (Tbc). The aim was to determine the autoimmune clinical and immunological features in patients with pulmonary Tbc.

COVID-19 Heart Lesions in Children: Clinical, Diagnostic and Immunological Changes.

In the beginning of COVID-19, the proportion of confirmed cases in the pediatric population was relatively small and there was an opinion that children often had a mild or asymptomatic course of infection. Our understanding of the immune response, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 is highly oriented towards the adult population. At the same time, despite the fact that COVID-19 in children usually occurs in a mild form, there is an incomplete understanding of the course as an acute infection and its subsequent manifestations such as Long-COVID-19 or Post-COVID-19, PASC in the pediatric population, correlations with comorbidities and immunological changes.

A Pilot Study on the Uptake of Propidium Iodide and YO-PRO-1 Iodide through the Pannexin Channels in Wallachian Frozen-Thawed Ram Spermatozoa.

Propidium iodide (PI) and YO-PRO-1 (YPI) dyes are routinely used to determine sperm viability in many livestock species. It is commonly accepted that these dyes penetrate only sperm cells with damaged plasma membranes. Recently, however, the mechanism of dye uptake unrelated to damaged plasma membranes, but instead related to pannexin channels in dog and stallion sperm cells was demonstrated.

Autoimmune autonomic nervous system imbalance and conditions: Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, silicone breast implants, COVID and post-COVID syndrome, sick building syndrome, post-orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, autoimmune diseases and autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, silicone breast implants syndrome (SBIs), COVID and post-COVID syndrome (PCS), sick building syndrome (SBS), post-orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), autoimmune diseases and autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) are frequently accompanied by clinical symptoms characteristic for dysautonomia: severe fatigue, dizziness, fogginess, memory loss, dry mouth and eyes, hearing dysfunction, tachycardia etc. The recent discovery of an imbalance of autoantibodies against G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) in some autoimmune diseases, post-COVID syndrome, SBIs allowed researchers to assume the novel mechanism in these conditions - autoimmune autonomic nervous system imbalance. In this review, all data published on an imbalance of autoantibodies against GPCR, clinical symptoms and pathogenic mechanisms in CFS, Fibromyalgia, SBIs, COVID and PCS, SBS, POTS, and some autoimmune diseases were analyzed.

Sarcoidosis: Progression to the chronic stage and pathogenic based treatment (narrative review).

Many factors confirm the autoimmune nature of sarcoidosis and help in determining the strategy of patient management and treatment initiation. However, the causes and the mechanisms of disease progression that result in fibrosis and insufficiency of the affected organ remain unclear. This narrative review aims to analyse the mechanisms and biomarkers of sarcoidosis progression, as well as the pathogenetic basis of sarcoidosis therapy.

Error-prone repair of stalled replication forks drives mutagenesis and loss of heterozygosity in haploinsufficient BRCA1 cells.

Germline mutations in the BRCA genes are associated with a higher risk of carcinogenesis, which is linked to an increased mutation rate and loss of the second unaffected BRCA allele (loss of heterozygosity, LOH). However, the mechanisms triggering mutagenesis are not clearly understood. The BRCA genes contain high numbers of repetitive DNA sequences.

Immunotoxicity of Carbon-Based Nanomaterials, Starring Phagocytes.

In the field of science, technology and medicine, carbon-based nanomaterials and nanoparticles (CNMs) are becoming attractive nanomaterials that are increasingly used. However, it is important to acknowledge the risk of nanotoxicity that comes with the widespread use of CNMs. CNMs can enter the body via inhalation, ingestion, intravenously or by any other route, spread through the bloodstream and penetrate tissues where (in both compartments) they interact with components of the immune system.

Detection of Anti-Vimentin Antibodies in Patients with Sarcoidosis.

Unlabelled: There is a need to further characterize the antibody response to vimentin in relation to its possible involvement in pathogenicity of sarcoidosis and other lung disorders.

Objectives: We investigated serum samples from patients with sarcoidosis, healthy controls and controls with other non-infectious lung diseases., to evaluate levels and frequency of these antibodies.

The predictive potential of autoimmune-inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) criteria to assess the risk of adverse events and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

At the moment, there are no approved predictive markers of immune adverse events (irAES) induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and the treatment efficacy. The early stages of irAES have some similarities with adjuvant-induced autoimmune/pro-inflammatory syndrome (ASIA). This study aims to assess the predictive possibility of using the "ASIA questionnaire" in patients on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in comparison with determination of PD-L1 expression to predict the risk of irAES development and therapy efficacy.

Migrating bubble synthesis promotes mutagenesis through lesions in its template.

Break-induced replication (BIR) proceeds via a migrating D-loop for hundreds of kilobases and is highly mutagenic. Previous studies identified long single-stranded (ss) nascent DNA that accumulates during leading strand synthesis to be a target for DNA damage and a primary source of BIR-induced mutagenesis. Here, we describe a new important source of mutagenic ssDNA formed during BIR: the ssDNA template for leading strand BIR synthesis formed during D-loop migration.
