The affinity of guinea pig thymocytes and peripheral T lymphocytes for rabbit erythrocytes was found to be enhanced following treatment of the erythrocytes with papain. By increasing the numbers of rosette-forming cells and giving stronger, more stable rosettes, this procedure increases the usefulness of the reaction as a T cell marker in guinea pigs.

5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a vital metabolite of serotonin (5-HT), is crucial for understanding metabolic pathways and is implicated in various mental disorders. In situ monitoring of 5-HIAA is challenging due to the lack of affinity ligands and issues with electrochemical fouling. We present an advanced sensing approach that integrates customizable molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) with self-driven galvanic redox potentiometry (GRP) for precise, real-time in vivo monitoring of 5-HIAA.

Article Synopsis
- * A new species, Lygodactylus lobeke sp. nov., was identified from a female in Cameroon and a male in Angola, which highlighted existing issues in distinguishing certain candidate species among the Lygodactylus groups.
- * This new species is small and lacks vibrant color patterns, differing from closely related species like L. fischeri, and has been confirmed as a distinct clade through genetic analysis, with known habitats in the Lower Guinea rainforests.
Application of Monoclonal Anti-Mycolate Antibodies in Serological Diagnosis of Tuberculosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Patient loss to follow-up due to expensive and centralized diagnostics for tuberculosis is a major challenge, stressing the need for a more accessible testing method.
- - Current biomarkers, specifically antibodies against mycolic acids in mycobacterial cell walls, show potential but are hard to detect with typical rapid tests because they are of low affinity.
- - Researchers have developed a new method for detecting mycolic acid antibodies using engineered monoclonal antibodies, leading to the creation of a novel lateral flow immunoassay called MALIA, which shows promise for practical tuberculosis testing.
Kinetic Characterisation of the R and R2 Quaternary Structures of Oxyhemoglobins Arising from Different Effects of Inositol Hexakisphosphate on Their Reactions with Ellman's Reagent.

In a previously reported equilibrium study of the reaction of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate), DTNB, with various carbonmonoxyhemoglobins over the pH range 5.6 to 9, we obtained contradictory results on the influence of the allosteric effector inositol hexakisphosphate (inositol-P) on the DTNB reaction. For this reason, we replaced the carbonmonoxyhemoglobins with oxyhemoglobins and investigated the effect of inositol-P on the equilibrium and of their reactions with DTNB over the same pH range.

Fungal infections present a significant health risk, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Berberine, a natural isoquinoline alkaloid, has demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, though its antifungal potential and underlying mechanisms against both yeast-like and filamentous fungi are not fully understood. This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of berberine against , , , and in vitro, as well as its therapeutic potential in a murine model of cryptococcal infection.
