A choline (CHO) biosensor based on the determination of H(2)O(2) generated at the electrode surface by the enzyme choline oxidase (CHOx) was developed. The biosensor consisted of CHOx retained onto a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilized solid carbon paste electrode (sCPE). The HRPsCPE contained the molecule phenothiazine as redox mediator and CHOx was physically retained on the electrode surface using a dialysis membrane. Several parameters have been studied such as, mediator amount, influence of applied potential, etc. The CHO measurements were performed in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Amperometric detection of CHO was realized at an applied potential of 0.0 mV vs Ag/AgCl. The response is linear over the concentration range 5.0x10(-7)-7.0x10(-5) M, with a detection limit of 1.0x10(-7) M. This biosensor was used to detect choline released from phosphatidylcholine (PC) by phospholipase D (PLD) in isolated rat salivary gland cells stimulated by a purinergic agonist (ATP).

Microplastic contamination of low-density polyethylene mulch and nutrient loss from fertilizers present significant challenges in the crop-growing. In this study, the focus was on creating a biodegradable film that combines the advantages of plastic film, thermal insulation and water retention, as well as the controlled release of fertilizer. A key innovation was the efficient introduction of low molecular weight and low dispersibility of poplar lignin into chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol matrices.

Intravenously administered nanoparticles (NPs) often bind with plasma proteins, forming the protein corona that promotes rapid systemic clearance, a primary challenge in nanomedicine. In this study, we developed a pH- and GSH-sensitive "stealth" nanodelivery system, PTX@NPs-aPD1-IL, for sequential drug release. By using a biocompatible choline-based ionic liquid (IL) as the coating for NPs, the interaction and adsorption of NPs with serum proteins were reduced, achieving targeted delivery to the lung organ and increasing drug accumulation.

Disruption of cholinesterases and, as a consequence, increased levels of acetylcholine lead to serious disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system, including death. The need for rapid administration of an antidote to restore esterase activity is critical, but practical implementation of this is often difficult. One promising solution may be the development of antidote delivery systems that will release the drug only when acetylcholine levels are elevated.

Glioma is the most common primary intracranial malignant tumor in adults, with a poor prognosis. Exosomes released by tumor cells play a crucial role in tumor development, metastasis, angiogenesis, and other biological processes. Despite this significance, the precise molecular mechanisms governing exosome secretion and their impact on tumor progression remain incompletely understood.
