Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) was evaluated as a technique for generating ion fragmentation information that is alternative and/or complementary to the information obtained by collision-induced dissociation (CID). Ions trapped in a pressurized linear ion trap were dissociated using a 355 nm or a 266 nm pulsed laser. Comparisons of UVPD and CID spectra using a set of aromatic chromophore-containing compounds (desmethyl bosentan, haloperidol, nelfinavir) demonstrated distinct characteristic fragmentation patterns resulting from photodissociation. The wavelength of light and the pressure of the buffer gas in the UVPD cell are important parameters that control fragmentation pathways. The wavelength effect is related to the absorption cross section, location of the chromophore and the energy carried by one photon. Thus, UV irradiation wavelength affects fragmentation pathways as well as the fragmentation rate. The pressure effect can be explained by collisional quenching of 'slow' fragmentation pathways. We observed that higher pressure of the buffer gas during UVPD experiments highlights unique fragment ions by suppressing slow fragmentation pathways responsible for CID-like fragmentation patterns.

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of adult disability. Early treatment with thrombolytics and/or thrombectomy can significantly improve outcomes; however, following these acute interventions, treatment is limited to rehabilitation therapies. Thus, the identification of therapeutic strategies that can help restore brain function in the post-acute phase remains a major challenge.

Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are already being marketed as noninvasive, convenient opportunities to test for multiple cancer types with a single blood sample. The technology varies-involving detection of circulating tumor DNA, fragments of DNA, RNA, or proteins unique to each targeted cancer. The priorities and tradeoffs of reaching diagnostic resolution in the setting of possible false positives and negatives remain under active study.

Background: Agonistic monoclonal antibodies targeting 4-1BB/CD137 have shown preclinical promise, but their clinical development has been limited by severe liver toxicity or limited efficacy. Therefore, a safe and efficient immunostimulatory molecule is urgently needed for cancer immunotherapy.
Methods: A novel anti-MSLN×4-1BB bispecific antibody (bsAb) was generated via antibody engineering, and its affinity and activity were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), flow cytometry, and T-cell activation and luciferase reporter assays.
Regulation of stress granule maturation and dynamics by poly(ADP-ribose) interaction with PARP13.

Non-covalent interactions of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) facilitate condensate formation, yet the impact of these interactions on condensate properties remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PAR-mediated interactions through PARP13, specifically the PARP13.2 isoform, are essential for modulating the dynamics of stress granules-a class of cytoplasmic condensates that form upon stress, including types frequently observed in cancers.
