The study of short-pulse propagation through biological tissues is important due to the medical applications of short-pulse lasers. Techniques used for numerical study of short pulses through human tissues include the Monte Carlo (MC) method, the finite-element method, and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), but these are often time consuming. Recently, the boundary integral method (BIM) was applied to overcome this problem. The literature shows that the BIM is faster than the other mentioned methods. We first investigate the precision of results obtained by the BIM by comparison with those results obtained by the MC and FDTD methods. Then we use the BIM to investigate the short-pulse penetration into biological tissues. We also study the effects of optical properties of tissues such as scattering, the absorption coefficient, the anisotropic factor on the penetrating pulse. We also, consider the propagation of pulses emitted from extended sources with different temporal evolutions.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease whose pathogenesis is not fully understood to date. One of the suggested mechanisms for its development is NETosis, which involves the release of a specific network consisting of chromatin, proteins, and enzymes from neutrophils, stimulating the immune system. One of its markers is citrullinated histone H3 (H3Cit).

Monitoring subcellular organelle dynamics in real time and precisely assessing membrane heterogeneity in living cells are very important for studying fundamental biological mechanisms and gaining a comprehensive understanding of cellular processes. However, there remains a shortage of effective tools for these purposes. Herein, we propose a strategy to develop the exchangeable water-sensing probeAPBD for time-lapse imaging of dynamics in cellular membrane-bound organelle morphology with structured illumination microscopy at the nanoscale.

Adipocyte lipolysis controls systemic energy levels and metabolic homeostasis. Lipolysis is regulated by posttranslational modifications of key lipolytic enzymes. However, less is known about the transcriptional mechanisms that regulate lipolysis.

Using maize plants expressing an apoplast targeted Aspergillus niger ferulic acid esterase (FAEA), with FAEA driven by a Lolium multiflorum senescence enhanced promoter (LmSee1), we extended measurements of FAEA activity to late-stage senescing plants and measured the stability of FAEA activity following stover storage. The impact of FAEA expression on cell wall hydroxycinnamic acid levels and arabinoxylan (AX) cross-links, and on the levels of cell wall sugars, acetyl bromide lignin and sugar release following saccharification by a cocktail of cellulases and xylanases, was assessed during plant development to full leaf senescence. These were determined in both individual internodes and in combined leaves and combined internodes of FAEA expressing and control partner plants.
