A cryopreservation condition for D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO)-overexpressing Escherichia coli (E. coli BL21(DE3)/pET-DAAO) was established. Ten percent was the optimum concentration of glycerol as a cryoprotectant, and its diffusion into stationary phase cells was superior to that into log cells. The results also showed that rather than fast cooling, a slow cooling method was appropriate to our recombinant E. coli. In addition, 15 min was the best equilibration period, at which higher than 90% of recovery rates were maintained at all test points. Most importantly, the relative recovery rates, product yield, and fermentation pattern of the cell banks (CBs) constructed according to our cryopreservation method did not change over 12 months, confirming that our method not only permits exceptional cryopreservation, but offers prolonged productivity. Taken together, our results demonstrating a cryopreservation method for E. coli BL21(DE3)/pET-DAAO provide insight into an improvement in the industrial production of DAAO.

Background: The field of single cell technologies has rapidly advanced our comprehension of the human immune system, offering unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and immune function. While cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples enable deep characterization of immune cells, challenges in clinical isolation and preservation limit their application in underserved communities with limited access to research facilities. We present CryoSCAPE (Cryopreservation for Scalable Cellular And Proteomic Exploration), a scalable method for immune studies of human PBMC with multi-omic single cell assays using direct cryopreservation of whole blood.

Purpose: This study is to evaluate duration of oocyte cryostorage and association with thaw survival, fertilization, blastulation, ploidy rates, and pregnancy outcomes in patients seeking fertility preservation.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients who underwent fertility preservation from 2011 to 2023 via oocyte vitrification for non-oncologic indications. Primary outcome was thaw survival rate.

Background: Microglia responses to Aβ and tau pathology and the dysregulation of the microglial role in synaptic function may determine the onset and course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). While significant work has been performed in mouse models, we still lack a complete understanding of physiological and pathological microglial states and functions in human AD brain.
Method: For immunoblotting of brain homogenates against multiple microglial markers, and flow cytometry (FC) analysis of synaptosomal fractions (SNAP25/CD47/Aβ(10G4)/phospho-tau(AT8)), 49 cryopreserved human parietal cortex samples were categorized into four groups: low pathology control (LPC), high Aβ control (HAC), high pathology control (HPC), and AD.

Background: Low-temperature cryopreservation is a common method for scientific research and clinical sample preservation when utilizing flow cytometry. In flow cytometry data analysis, traditional manual "gating" is susceptible to past experience and faces the challenge of manual subjective bias, time-consuming, and multidimensional data analysis. With the development of algorithms, the advantages of dimensionality reduction and clustering in result analysis are gradually becoming more prominent.

Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) has garnered significant attention due to its critical roles in leukemia pathogenesis, cancer metastasis, and bone marrow failure. BMAT is a metabolically active, distinct tissue that differs from other fat depots. Marrow adipocytes, closely interacting with hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and osteoblasts, play a pivotal role in regulating their functions.
