A novel differential in gel electrophoresis (DIGE)-based method has been developed and applied to measure telomere length and appearance of two-dimensional structural DNA changes. It can be applied to any area requiring quick and evident measurement of structural DNA changes.

Identification of Biomarkers of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) by Plasma Proteomics.

Medicina (Kaunas)

January 2025

Service de Cardiologie Pédiatrique, Hôpital la Rabta Tunis, Tunis 1007, Tunisia.

The pathophysiology of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), previously known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), and its specific biological features remain poorly understood. High-throughput plasma proteomic profiling, a powerful tool for gaining insights into disease pathophysiology at the systems biology level, has not been used to study ACM. This study aimed at characterizing plasmatic protein changes in patients with ACM, which were compared with those of healthy controls, and at exploring the potential role of the identified proteins as biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring.

bFGF-Chitosan "brain glue" promotes functional recovery after cortical ischemic stroke.

Bioact Mater

April 2025

Beijing Key Laboratory for Biomaterials and Neural Regeneration, Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Biomedical Engineering, School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100083, China.

The mammalian brain has an extremely limited ability to regenerate lost neurons and to recover function following ischemic stroke. A biomaterial strategy of slowly-releasing various regeneration-promoting factors to activate endogenous neurogenesis represents a safe and practical neuronal replacement therapy. In this study, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-Chitosan gel is injected into the stroke cavity.

Background: Adamantane derivatives, such as memantine (Mem) and amantadine (Ada), have distinct mechanisms and therapeutic applications. Ada is primarily utilized as an antiviral and anti-Parkinson drug without significant pro-cognitive effects, Mem is effective in various clinical conditions characterized by cognitive deficits, including Alzheimer's disease. Recent evidence highlights a neuroprotective role for Aβ monomers, suggesting that preventing their aggregation into toxic oligomers could be a promising therapeutic strategy.

A comprehensive strategy, including spectroscopic, molecular simulation, proteomics, and bioinformatics techniques, was employed to investigate a novel triazole, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole, its interactions with high-abundance blood proteins, and identification of low-abundance proteins. The binding constants and thermodynamic parameters of the triazole to two high-abundance blood globular proteins, human serum albumin, and human immunoglobulin G (HIgG), were obtained by spectroscopic techniques and computational chemistry. The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was employed to isolate and identify differentially expressed low-abundance proteins in human blood serum samples following exposure to the triazole.
