The adhesion of HeLa cells to a glass matrix was evaluated after the irradiation of the cell suspension with a pulsed near-infrared light-emitting diode (lambda = 820 nm, frequency 10 Hz, dose 8-120 J/m(2)) and treatment with two donors of nitric oxide, sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 5 x 10(-4) M) and NaNO(2) (4 x 10(-4) M). It was found that in an irradiated cell suspension, the cell-glass adhesion increases in a dose-dependent manner (a bell-shaped curve with a maximum at 60 J/m(2)). The treatment of cells with SNP or NaNO(2) before the irradiation eliminates the radiation-induced attachment stimulation. Pretreatment of cells with SNP not only eliminates the radiation-induced attachment stimulation but inhibits the attachment of irradiated (but not non-irradiated) cells. It is suggested that a modulation of the activity of respiratory chain (probably the alteration of the activity of cytochrome c oxidase) is involved in radiation-induced increase of cell attachment.

It remains challenging to design efficient bifunctional semiconductor materials in organic photovoltaic and photodetector devices. Here, we report a butterfly-shaped molecule, named WD-6, which exhibits low energy disorder and small reorganization energy due to its enhanced molecular rigidity and unique assembly with strong intermolecular interaction. The binary photovoltaic device based on PM6:WD-6 achieved an efficiency of 18.

Better growth is a phenotypic trait that can contribute to persistence of in food processing environments. To test the hypothesis objectively, persistent and non-persistent strains were selected and grown in different media to gain reliable quantitative growth characteristics. In this study, the effect of temperature in the range from 6 °C to 43 °C on the planktonic growth of genotypically and phenotypically different strains LM9611-19 (LM-P, persistent) and LM120/5 (LM-S, sporadic - potentially non-persistent) in Tryptone Soy Broth (TSB) and in semi-synthetic cheese medium (SCM) was investigated.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), have become a global health problem with a rapid growth of incidence in newly industrialized countries. Observational studies have recognized associations between blood lipid traits and IBDs, but the causality still remains unclear. To determine the causal effects of blood lipid traits, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on IBDs, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted using the summary-level genome-wide association study (GWAS) statistics of blood lipid traits and IBDs.
