Capripoxviruses (CaPVs), such as lumpy skin disease, sheep pox, and goat pox, cause significant production and economic losses and are major constraints to the growth of livestock production in endemic areas. Understanding the pathogenic mechanism of CaPVs and their translation into clinical applications depends on the availability of a suitable cell line. In this study, we used a lentiviral packaging system to establish an immortalized hTERT-bOEC cell line by ectopic introduction of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT).

Multifunctional structures with excellent wave-absorbing and load-bearing properties have attracted much attention in recent years. Unlike other wave-absorbing materials, honeycomb wave-absorbing materials have appealing radar absorption and mechanical properties. However, the existing honeycomb wave-absorbing materials have problems such as narrow absorption band and poor compression resistance.

Purpose: This study evaluated interlesion heterogeneity in prostate cancer using dual-tracer imaging (PSMA and FDG) and explored its predictive value for novel hormone therapy (NHT).

Patients And Methods: A total of 205 prostate cancer patients (23 biochemical recurrences, 68 metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancers, 114 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers [mCRPC]) who underwent dual 18 F-FDG and 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 62 mCRPC patients received NHT.

Optical differential operations have recently attracted considerable attention owing to the capabilities of ultrafast speed and low power consumption. The transfer function, which embodies the frequency-domain characteristics of differential systems, plays an important role in differentiator design. Here, we report a super-Gaussian aperture differential filter, and we reveal unique characteristics of odd- and even-order transfer functions and corresponding differential effects via spatial spectrum modulation.

Isolation of antigen-specific plasma B cells had been challenging until the recent arrival of the Beacon platform. Leveraging light-sorting technology, Beacon can perform high-throughput screening of plasma B cells on a chip to sort single cells with the desired antigen specificity. Here, we present a protocol for isolating antigen-specific plasma B cells from immunized mice using Beacon, sequencing the encoded B cell receptors (BCRs), and cloning and expressing the resulting antibodies.

In this study, cobalt-doped hexagonal phase WO nanorods were prepared by a template-free hydrothermal method. The effects of varying the cobalt doping concentration on the microscopic morphology and electrochromic properties of hexagonal phase WO films were investigated. Films synthesized with the optimal cobalt element doping concentration demonstrate a notable improvement in their electrochromic properties compared to the pure hexagonal phase WO films.

Article Synopsis
  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is essential for treating advanced cancers, but improving patient survival remains a challenge due to its limited effectiveness and issues with tumor recurrence after surgery.
  • Researchers have developed a new treatment called AUG, a nanoSTING stimulant liposome, which activates the immune response to help shrink tumors before surgery and reduce the chance of cancer returning post-surgery.
  • In tests, AUG demonstrated over 90% effectiveness in inhibiting tumor growth and reduced postoperative metastasis by 75% when used alongside immune checkpoint inhibitors, showcasing its potential as a promising neoadjuvant therapy.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), a ruminant poxvirus of the Capripoxvirus genus, is the etiologic agent of an economically important cattle disease categorized as a notifiable disease by the World Organization for Animal Health. However, the endocytic pathway and their regulatory molecules have not been characterized for LSDV. In the present study, specific pharmacological inhibitors were used to analyze the mechanism of LSDV entry into Mardin-Darby Bovine Kidney cell (MDBK) and bovine mammary epithelial cell (BMEC).

Pyroptosis may play an important role in the resistance of ovarian cancer (OC) to chemotherapy. However, the mechanism by which pyroptosis modulation can attenuate chemotherapy resistance has not been comprehensively studied in OC. Here, we demonstrated that RAS-associated C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) is highly expressed in OC and is negatively correlated with patient outcomes.

Alternol is a small molecular compound isolated from the fermentation of a mutant fungus obtained from Taxus brevifolia bark. Our previous studies showed that Alternol treatment induced reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent immunogenic cell death. This study conducted a comprehensive investigation to explore the mechanisms involved in Alternol-induced immunogenic cell death.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a rapidly emerging pathogen in Asia, including China. Genetic manipulation of the LSDV is essential for the elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism and biological function of the LSDV-encoded protein. In this study, we established a platform for the Cre-loxP recombination system under a modified early-late H5 promoter of the VACV for quick construction of the recombinant LSDV virus.

Article Synopsis
  • Research indicates a link between ageing, inflammation, immune environment, and bladder cancers, with limited studies on how these factors interact specifically in bladder conditions like cystitis and urothelial carcinoma.
  • Using single-cell and transcriptomic data from young and old mice, the study analyzed immune cell types present in the bladder and the effects of age on immune infiltration and molecular expression related to bladder diseases.
  • The findings revealed that aged mice had significantly more immune cell types, especially T-cells and B-cells, and highlighted the role of the chemokine receptor CCR7 in promoting immune cell movement, which may contribute to bladder ageing and cancer development.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious and infectious disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals. Disease control is complicated by its highly contagious nature and antigenic diversity. Host microRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators that either promote or repress viral replications in virus infection.

Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic protozoan parasite that is highly prevalent in the human population and can lead to adverse health consequences in immunocompromised patients and pregnant women. Noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), play important regulatory roles in the pathogenesis of many infections. However, the differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and circRNAs implicated in the host cell response during the lytic cycle of T.

In the field of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption, carbon matrix materials based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn more interest as a result of their outstanding advantages, such as porous structure, lightweight, controlled morphology, etc. However, how to broaden the effective absorption bandwidth [EAB; reflection loss (RL) ≤ -10 dB] is still a challenge. In this paper, large microsphere structures of a Co/C composite composed of small particle clusters were successfully prepared by the solvothermal method and annealing treatment.

Electric field responsive photonic crystals take on critical significance in developing adaptive camouflage technology, which are promising materials for adaptive camouflage devices with better fabrication processes and color saturation. However, electric field responsive photonic crystals are primarily susceptible to poor fusion with typical background colors and necessitate the continuous implementation of electric fields to attain specific colors, thus limiting their practical applications. Monodisperse polyvinylpyrrolidone modified cadmium sulfide (PVP/CdS) microspheres with large refractive index are well prepared in this study.
