Morphometrical parameters, osmoregulatory possibilities, and the membrane reserve value of nuclear hemocytes (leukocytes and erythrocytes) were studied in the main classes of vertebrates by using method of hypoosmotic loads. It has been established that in the fish--mammals line in erythrocytes the absolute reserve of the plasmalemma decreases and the relative area of the cell surface increases. Evolution of leukocytes is accompanied by an increase of the membrane reserve and of the surface area due to a decrease of volume and to a rise of folding of the plasmalemma.

Lithium is used in the long-term treatment of bipolar disorder, exhibiting a beneficial effect on the neuronal cells. The concentration of lithium in the blood serum can vary and can easily approach a level that is related to cardiotoxic adverse effects. This is due to its narrow therapeutic index.

Background: Choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) associated with optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) are rare but vision threatening. A variety of treatments, including laser photocoagulation, subretinal surgery, and anti-VEGF injections, are effective but pose risks, particularly in pediatric patients, underscoring the need for a comprehensive review.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.

Clinical significance of lipid pathway-targeted therapy in breast cancer.

Department of Breast Surgery and Oncology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Globally, breast cancer represents the most common cancer and the primary cause of death by cancer in women. Lipids are crucial in human physiology, serving as vital energy reserves, structural elements of biological membranes, and essential signaling molecules. The metabolic reprogramming of lipid pathways has emerged as a critical factor in breast cancer progression, drug resistance, and patient prognosis.

DNA nanotechnology has made initial progress toward developing gene-encoded DNA origami nanoparticles (NPs) that display potential utility for future gene therapy applications. However, due to the challenges involved with gene delivery into cells including transport through the membrane, intracellular targeting, and inherent expression of nucleases along with interference from other active proteins, it can be difficult to more directly study the effect of DNA NP design on subsequent gene expression. In this work, we demonstrate an approach for studying the expression of gene-encoding DNA origami NPs without the use of cells.
