Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered a primary source of damage during ischemic stroke. However, the precise timing of ROS production (during hypoxia or reperfusion) remains unclear. Cellular 3D spheroids are often proposed as an optimal alternative to both 2D cell cultures and animal models in modeling disease conditions.

In this article, we present the first case report of a chicken mycosis caused by occurred on a private farm in the Russian Federation. Lesions on the skin of the legs and scallops were reported. The object of this study was samples of feed and pathological material from sick hens-layers.

In order to determine genetic loci associated with decreasing risk of uterine leiomyomata (UL), a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed. We analyzed a group of patients with a family history of UL and a control group consisting of patients without uterine fibroids and a family predisposition to this pathology. Six significant single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected for PCR-genotyping of a large data set of patients with UL.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a key redox intermediate generated within cells. Existing probes for HO have not solved the problem of detection of the ultra-low concentrations of the oxidant: these reporters are not sensitive enough, or pH-dependent, or insufficiently bright, or not functional in mammalian cells, or have poor dynamic range. Here we present HyPer7, the first bright, pH-stable, ultrafast, and ultrasensitive ratiometric HO probe.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in regulating normal physiological cell functions as second messengers as well as nonspecific damage of biomolecules in a pathological process known as oxidative stress. The HyPer family of genetically encoded probes are a useful noninvasive tool for monitoring the real-time dynamics of ROS in individual cells or model organisms. HyPer, the first genetically encoded probe for detection of hydrogen peroxide (HO), is oxidized with high specificity and sensitivity by HO, leading to ratiometric changes in the fluorescence excitation spectrum of the probe.
