The detection of nucleic acids, which typically consists of nucleic acid extraction, reverse transcription and amplification, is a crucial component of molecular diagnostics. However, traditional methods have several limitations, including high reliance on skilled personnel, low degree of automation and lengthy assay times. Additionally, these methods also require separate areas for the different steps to avoid contamination.

Human adenovirus type 7 (HAdV-7) is a prominent pathogen that causes severe pneumonia in children in China. However, the interaction between HAdV-7 infection and host metabolism is still poorly understood. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic interplay between host cells and the virus, we analysed the energy and lipid metabolism profiles of the HAdV-7-infected lung cancer cell line A549 by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-QTRAP-MS/MS).

The placenta, a temporary but essential organ for gestational support, undergoes intricate morphological and functional transformations throughout gestation. However, the spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression underlying placentation remain poorly understood. Utilizing Stereo-seq, we constructed a Mouse Placentation Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Atlas (MPSTA) spanning from embryonic day (E) 7.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looks at a problem with abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye that can cause vision loss, especially when current treatments don't work well for some patients.
  • Researchers tested a new approach using a drug that inhibits Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) to see if it could help reduce inflammation and improve eye health.
  • The results showed that BTK inhibition reduced harmful blood vessel growth and inflammation without hurting the retina, suggesting this method could be a promising new treatment for eye diseases.

Nanoplastics represent a global environmental concern due to their ubiquitous presence and potential adverse impacts on public and environmental health. There is a growing need to advance the mechanistic understanding of their reactivity as they interact with biological and environmental systems. Herein, for the first time, we report that polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) have intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and are able to mediate oxidative stress.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) causes severe visual impairment. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), soluble CD59 (sCD59), and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1) are potential therapeutic agents for nAMD, which target angiogenesis and the complement system. Using the AAV2/8 vector, two bi-target gene therapy agents, AAV2/8-PEDF-P2A-sCD59 and AAV2/8-sFLT-1-P2A-sCD59, were generated, and their therapeutic efficacy was investigated in laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and Vldlr mouse models.

Maxillofacial bone defects exhibit intricate anatomy and irregular morphology, presenting challenges for effective treatment. This study aimed to address these challenges by developing an injectable bioactive composite microsphere, termed D-P-Ak (polydopamine-PLGA-akermanite), designed to fit within the defect site while minimizing injury. The D-P-Ak microspheres biodegraded gradually, releasing calcium, magnesium, and silicon ions, which, notably, not only directly stimulated the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) but also activated sensory nerve cells to secrete calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a key factor in bone repair.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that have been increasingly recognized for their significant roles in the progression of cancer. Distinct miRNAs exhibit diverse functions attributed to variations in their sequences. As a result of possessing highly homologous seed sequences, these miRNAs target overlapping or similar gene sets, thus performing analogous roles.

Numerous myofibroblasts are arisen from endothelial cells (ECs) through endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) triggered by TGF-β. However, the mechanism of ECs transforms to a different subtype, or whether there exists an intermediate state of ECs remains unclear. In present study, we demonstrate Midkine (MDK) mainly expressed by CD31 + ACTA2+ECs going through partial EndMT contribute greatly to myofibroblasts by spatial and single-cell transcriptomics.

Background: The aim of this study was to identify inflammatory biomarkers in traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy (TPVR) patients and further validate the expression curve of particular biomarkers in the rabbit TPVR model.

Methods: The Olink Inflammation Panel was used to compare the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the vitreous of TPVR patients 7-14 days after open globe injury (OGI) ( = 19) and macular hole patients ( = 22), followed by correlation analysis between DEPs and clinical signs, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis, and function enrichment analysis. A TPVR rabbit model was established and expression levels of candidate interleukin family members (IL-6, IL-7, and IL-33) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 28 days after OGI.

The skeleton is a highly innervated organ in which nerve fibers interact with various skeletal cells. Peripheral nerve endings release neurogenic factors and sense skeletal signals, which mediate bone metabolism and skeletal pain. In recent years, bone tissue engineering has increasingly focused on the effects of the nervous system on bone regeneration.

Leonurus japonicus Houtt (LJH) is a bulk medicinal material commonly used in clinical practice, but its complex constituents have not been completely understood, posing challenges to pharmacology, pharmacokinetic research, and scientific and rational drug use. As a result, it is critical to develop an efficient and accurate method for classifying and identifying the chemical composition of LJH. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole electrostatic field-orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS) was successfully established, along with two data post-processing techniques, characteristic fragmentations (CFs) and neutral losses (NLs), to quickly classify and identify the chemical constituents in LJH.
