The substitution of the mu-acetato ligands in cis-Re(2)(mu-O(2)CCH(3))(2)Cl(2)(mu-dppm)(2) (1, dppm = Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2)) and trans-Re(2)(mu-O(2)CCH(3))(2)Cl(2)(mu-dppE)(2) (2, dppE = Ph(2)PC(=CH(2))PPh(2)) by [4-Ph(2)PC(6)H(4)CO(2)](-) occurs with retention of stereochemistry to give cis-Re(2)(mu-O(2)CC(6)H(4)-4-PPh(2))(2)Cl(2)(mu-dppm)(2) (3) and trans-Re(2)(mu-O(2)CC(6)H(4)-4-PPh(2))(2)Cl(2)(mu-dppE)(2) (6), respectively. The uncoordinated phosphine groups in complexes 3 and 6 have been used to form mixed-metal assemblies with Au(I) and Pd(II), including the Re(2)Pd(2) complex cis-Re(2)(mu-O(2)CC(6)H(4)-4-PPh(2))(2)Cl(2)(mu-dppm)(2)(Pd(2)Cl(4)) (5), in which the planar [(P)ClPd(mu-Cl)(2)PdCl(P)] unit has the unusual cis structure. The crystal structures of 3 and 5 have been determined.

Background: A loss-of-functional mutation (W1183R) in human complement factor H (CFH) is associated with complement-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome; mice carrying a similar mutation (W1206R) in CFH also develop thrombotic microangiopathy but its plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer sizes were dramatically reduced. The mechanism underlying such a dramatic change in plasma VWF multimer distribution in these mice is not fully understood.
Objective And Methods: To determine the VWF and CFH interaction and how CFH proteins affect VWF multimer distribution, we employed recombinant protein expression, purification, and various biochemical and biophysical tools.

Breast tumors are typically surrounded by extracellular matrix (ECM), which is heterogeneous, not just structurally but also mechanically. Conventional rheometry is inadequate for describing cell-size-level spatial differences in ECM mechanics that are evident at micrometer scales. Optical tweezers and passive microrheometry provide a microscale resolution for the purpose but are incapable of measuring ECM viscoelasticity (the liquid-like viscous and solid-like elastic characteristics) at stiffness levels as found in breast tumor biopsies.

In this study, the parameters of blood microcirculation and microrheology were measured using the methods of laser aggregometry and optical tweezers in vitro, as well as the method of digital capillaroscopy in vivo. It was shown that in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus, an increase in the number of RBC aggregates passing through the narrow capillaries leads to a significant decrease in the velocity of the capillary blood flow, which can be explained by the increased viscosity of the whole blood and decreased deformability of RBCs. Also, for the group of patients, a statistically significant increase in the rate of RBC aggregation and the hydrodynamic strength of aggregates, RBC aggregation and disaggregation forces were observed compared to the control group.

Article Synopsis
- Cell-generated forces play a crucial role in various cellular processes, and measuring these forces is essential for understanding cell behavior in contexts like migration and cancer development, although existing methods are often complex and require specialized skills.
- A new smartphone-based electrochemical sensor has been developed, utilizing a DNA-based force probe that can detect cellular forces, enabling the measurement of small forces generated by just a few cells, like HeLa cells, through enhanced electrochemical signals.
- This innovative sensor is portable, cost-effective, and user-friendly, making it a promising complementary tool to existing techniques for detecting cellular forces in biological research.
A Novel non-invasive optical framework for simultaneous analysis of contractility and calcium in single-cell cardiomyocytes.

The use of a video method based on the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithm from experimental mechanics to estimate the displacements, strain field, and sarcolemma length in a beating single-cell cardiomyocyte is proposed in this work. The obtained deformation is then correlated with the calcium signal, from calcium imaging where fluorescent dyes sensitive to calcium Ca are used. Our proposed video-based method for simultaneous contraction and intracellular calcium analysis results in a low-cost, non-invasive, and label-free method.
