This ultrastructural study of both the normal human breast tissue and differentiated mammary carcinoma (NOS) epithelial cells has revealed pictures demonstrating luminal receptor-mediated endocytosis. By application of immunogold anti-actin labeling, actin surrounding the fusion ring of coated pits was visualized. However, the coated membrane was not actin labeled. We suggest that association of the actin with coated pits may evidence for its participation in pinching off of the coated vesicles.

Cardiac fibroblasts are activated following myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiac fibrosis is a major driver of the growing burden of heart failure. A non-invasive targeting method for activated cardiac fibroblasts would be advantageous because of their importance for imaging and therapy. Targeting was achieved by linking a 7-amino acid peptide (EP9) to a perfluorocarbon-containing nanoemulsion (PFC-NE) for visualization by F-combined with H-MRI.

Corrosion and degradation of magnesium (Mg) alloy result in serious damage and limit its application in new-energy automobile industry. Considerable protective coating is proposed, yet it is hindered by the difficulties in avoiding and visually monitoring coating micro-damage and localized metal corrosion. Herein, a novel anticorrosion coating system with autonomously monitoring multiple levels of damages in coated Mg-alloy system, is proposed.

Electric Field-Enhanced SERS Detection Using MoS-Coated Patterned Si Substrate with Micro-Pyramid Pits.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Semiconductor Engineering, Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, No. 300, Sec. 1, Wanshou Rd., Guishan District, Taoyuan City 333326, Taiwan.

This study utilized semiconductor processing techniques to fabricate patterned silicon (Si) substrates with arrays of inverted pyramid-shaped micro-pits by etching. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO) was then deposited on these patterned Si substrates using a thermal evaporation system, followed by two-stage sulfurization in a high-temperature furnace to grow MoS thin films consisting of only a few atomic layers. During the dropwise titration of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) solution, a longitudinal electric field was applied using a Keithley 2400 (Cleveland, OH, USA) source meter.

Role of Rab35 in modulating lipid metabolism and viral entry during pseudorabies virus infection.

Int J Biol Macromol

December 2024

College of Veterinary Medicine, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450046, Henan Province, China; Key Laboratory of Animal Biochemistry and Nutrition, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Zhengzhou 450046, Henan Province, China; Key Laboratory of Veterinary Biotechnology of Henan Province, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450046, Henan Province, China. Electronic address:

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease in swine, is a significant pathogen in veterinary medicine. Rab35 is a key regulatory GTPase involved in diverse cellular functions, including endocytic recycling, cytokinesis, and the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Although Rab35's roles in these processes are well-documented, its contribution to PRV replication dynamics had not been previously elucidated.

Development of Polymer Composites Using Surface-Modified Olive Pit Powder for Fused Granular Fabrication.

Polymers (Basel)

October 2024

Departamento Ciencia de los Materiales, Ingeniería Metalúrgica y Química Inorgánica, IMEYMAT, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Cádiz, Campus Río San Pedro, s/n, 11510 Puerto Real, Spain.

In this study, olive pit agro-waste from the olive oil industry is valorized by incorporating it as an additive in a polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) matrix to develop bio-based composite materials for large format additive manufacturing (LFAM). The olive pits were first ground into olive pit powder (OPP) and then functionalized by polymerizing poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) PBAT on their surface, resulting in a hydrophobic, modified olive pit powder (MOPP) with enhanced compatibility with the PETG matrix. OPP and MOPP composites were compounded and 3D-printed via Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) using 5, 10, and 15 wt.
