INTRODUCTIONBecause Ponceau S is relatively insensitive (~1 μg of protein), only the most abundant proteins will be visible. However, it is a reversible stain that can be removed completely with H(2)O prior to processing the blots. After staining, a soft lead pencil can be used to record the presence of visible proteins and molecular-weight markers, which will help when aligning the proteins detected on the membrane by western analysis with those in a total protein-stained gel or membrane. Ponceau S is compatible with both nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures produced and released into the extracellular space by all types of cells. Due to their characteristics, EVs play crucial roles in cellular communication and signaling, holding an immense potential as biomarkers and molecular transporters. Various methods have been developed to label and characterize EVs, however, visualizing EVs remains a process that requires highly specialized and expensive equipment, which is not always available in all the laboratories.

Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS), a CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration with type 2 inflammation and is highly associated with bronchial asthma. Intractable ECRS with poorly controlled asthma is recognized as a difficult-to-treat eosinophilic airway inflammation. Although eosinophils are activated and coincubation with airway epithelial cells prolongs their survival, the interaction mechanism between eosinophils and epithelial cells is unclear.

Lysosomes are acidic membrane-bound organelles that aid digestion, excretion, and cell renewal. The lysosomal membranes are essential for maintaining lysosomal functions and cellular homeostasis. In this work, we developed a molecular "NOR" logic gate, , by introducing malachite green into the spirocyclic rhodamine.

Introduction: The plasma membrane-bound protein, multi-drug resistance-associated protein 4 (), has gained attention for its pivotal role in facilitating the efflux of a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic molecules. Its significance in adipogenesis and fatty acid metabolism has been brought to light by recent studies. Notably, research on knockout ( ) mice has established a link between the absence of and the development of obesity and diabetes.

Cyanogenic glycosides are plant-derived, nitrogen-containing secondary metabolites that release toxic cyanide ions upon hydrolysis by glycosidic enzymes. Therefore, consuming food items enriched with such compounds without proper remediation can cause acute cyanide intoxication. Thus, in this work, we utilize cyanide-responsive oxidized bisindole-based chromogenic probes to detect cyanogenic glycosides, such as amygdalin and linamarin (LOD: 0.
