The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major model organism for important biological processes such as mitotic growth and meiotic development, it can be a human pathogen, and it is widely used in the food-, and biotechnology industries. Consequently, the genomes of numerous strains have been sequenced and a very large amount of RNA profiling data is available. Moreover, it has recently become possible to quantitatively analyze the entire yeast proteome; however, efficient and cost-effective high-throughput protein profiling remains a challenge. We report here a new approach to direct and label-free large-scale yeast protein identification using a tandem buffer system for protein extraction, two-step protein prefractionation and enzymatic digestion, and detection of peptides by iterative mass spectrometry. Our profiling study of diploid cells undergoing rapid mitotic growth identified 86% of the known proteins and its output was found to be widely concordant with genome-wide mRNA concentrations and DNA variations between yeast strains. This paves the way for comprehensive and straightforward yeast proteome profiling across a wide variety of experimental conditions.

In this study, we synthesized 12 monofunctional tridentate ONS-donor salicylaldimine ligand ()-based Ru(II) complexes with general formula [(Ru()(-cymene)]·Cl (-), characterized by H NMR, C NMR, UV, FT-IR spectroscopy, HR-ESI mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray analysis showing ligand's orientation around the Ru(II) center. All 12 of these 12 complexes were tested for their anticancer activities in multiple cancer cells. The superior antitumor efficacy of , , and was demonstrated by reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, impaired proliferative capacity, and disrupted redox homeostasis, along with enhanced apoptosis through caspase-3 activation and downregulation of Bcl-2 expression.

Mineralizing cells release a special class of extracellular vesicles known as matrix vesicles (MV), crucial for bone mineralization. Following their release, MV anchor to the extracellular matrix (ECM), where their highly specialized enzymatic machinery facilitates the formation of seed mineral within the MV's lumen, subsequently releasing it onto the ECM. However, how MV propagate mineral onto the collagenous ECM remains unclear.

Parboiled rice can effectively retain Se during milling. In this study, Se-enriched rice grains were sprayed with three different concentrations of bioSeNPs fertilizer on the leaves at heading stage and then processed into parboiled and milled rice. The aim was to investigate the effects of parboiling on Se speciation, texture, microstructure, taste, and flavor of cooked rice.

Human natural killer (NK) cells can be sub-divided into two functional subsets but the clinical significance of these CD56 and CD56 NK cells in anti-tumour immunity remains largely unexplored. We determined the relative abundances of gene signatures for CD56 and CD56 NK cells along with 3 stromal and 18 other immune cell types in the patient tumour transcriptomes from the cancer genome atlas bladder cancer dataset (TCGA-BLCA). Using this computational approach, CD56 NK cells were predicted to be the more abundant tumour-infiltrating NK subset which was also associated with improved patient prognosis.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have shown promise in glioblastoma clinical studies, but responses remain inconsistent due to heterogeneous tumor antigen expression and immune evasion post-treatment. NKG2D CAR-T cells have demonstrated a favorable safety profile in patients with hematologic tumors, and showed robust antitumor efficacy in various xenograft models, including glioblastoma. However, malignant glioma cells evade immunological surveillance by reducing NKG2D ligands expression or cleavage.
