The death and clearance of nurse cells is a consequential milestone in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis. In preparation for oviposition, the germline-derived nurse cells bequeath to the developing oocyte all their cytoplasmic contents and undergo programmed cell death. The death of the nurse cells is controlled non-autonomously and is precipitated by epithelial follicle cells of somatic origin acquiring a squamous morphology and acidifying the nurse cells externally.

Addressing the global challenge of ensuring access to safe drinking water, especially in developing countries, demands cost-effective, eco-friendly, and readily available technologies. The persistence, toxicity, and bioaccumulation potential of organic pollutants arising from various human activities pose substantial hurdles. While high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) is a widely utilized technique for identifying pollutants in water, the multitude of structures for a single elemental composition complicates structural identification.

Background: Although pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of biotherapeutics are commonly studied through ELISAs; however, the extremely strong binding of modern antibody-based therapeutics result in background, inability of secondary antibody binding, and nonlinear response curves. The selectivity and specificity imparted through the use of liquid chromatography-targeted mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) allows for absolute quantitation of chosen peptides. For MODEL-AD, here we present a high-throughput workflow for absolute quantification of chimeric aducanumab from cortex and plasma of 5XFAD mice.

Millions of men and women suffer from alopecia, especially androgenic alopecia (AGA), which is considered the most common form of hair loss. The available treatments for hair loss include multiple approaches, with the most popular being synthetic drugs including minoxidil and finasteride, in addition to natural products. However, synthetic drugs have shown many undesirable side effects, on the contrary, the specifications of the commonly used natural drugs have not been reported in most of the previous studies, despite the high market preference for them.

The advent and success of new drugs for treating HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer has led to a constant improvement in disease and progression-free survival as well as overall survival. Despite these advantages, the overall survival and quality of life of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastases are significantly worse than the ones of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer metastases outside the brain. For this reason, prevention and treatment of brain metastasis remain a major clinical challenge and the keys to further improving the clinical and survival outcomes of HER2-positive breast cancer patients.
