In the European Union (EU), sulfonamides are among the most widely administrated groups of antibiotics in animal husbandry. Therefore, monitoring their residues in edible animal tissues plays an important role in the EU food safety framework. In this work, a simple and efficient method for the rapid screening of twelve prior sulfonamides frequently prescribed as veterinary drugs by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) was established. Sample extracts obtained with acetonitrile were tenfold concentrated and applied to HPTLC without any further cleanup. Following separation and fluram derivatization, sensitive and selective quantitation of the analytes can readily be accomplished with fluorescent densitometry. Limits of detection and quantitation were 15-40 and 35-70μg/kg, respectively. Additionally, a confirmative detection by HPTLC-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPTLC-ESI/MS) was optimized, offering straightforward identification of target zones. Therefore, the risk of potential false positive findings can efficiently be reduced. The method was validated to meet the enforced commission regulation (EU) No. 37/2010, regarding different matrix complexities (bovine milk, porcine liver and kidney).

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in using amino acids like tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) as biomarkers for various diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). In diseases like T2D, the metabolism of Trp and Tyr is altered. The activity of enzymes involved in Trp metabolism increases, leading to a decrease in its serum level.

Myosin 10 (Myo10) is a motor protein known for its role in filopodia formation. Although Myo10-driven filopodial dynamics have been characterized, there is no information about the absolute number of Myo10 molecules during the filopodial lifecycle. To better understand molecular stoichiometries and packing restraints in filopodia, we measured Myo10 abundance in these structures.

Article Synopsis
- - A subset of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) shows an increase in a harmful gut bacteria known as adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC), which is connected to mutations in the protein tyrosine phosphatase type 2 (PTPN2) gene that disrupts gut microbiota balance.
- - The study examines how the host protein CEACAM6, which AIEC uses to invade intestinal cells, is regulated in the context of the PTPN2 gene and its variants, finding that patients with specific SNPs have higher CEACAM6 levels.
- - Experimental cell lines with altered PTPN2 expression showed increased adhesion and invasion by AIEC, indicating that the absence of PTP

Significance: The arterial input function (AIF) plays a crucial role in correcting the time-dependent concentration of the contrast agent within the arterial system, accounting for variations in agent injection parameters (speed, timing, etc.) across patients. Understanding the significance of the AIF can enhance the accuracy of tissue vascular perfusion assessment through indocyanine green-based dynamic contrast-enhanced fluorescence imaging (DCE-FI).

A novel and highly sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed and validated to quantify a combination of five pharmaceutical mixtures spiked to human plasma. The compounds comprised Amlodipine (AML) along with five angiotensin II receptor antagonist drugs (AIIRAs), namely Olmesartan (OLM), Telmisartan (TLM), Candesartan (CAN), Losartan (LOS), and Irbesartan (IRB). HPTLC was performed on silica gel 60 F254 plates using a mobile phase of Toluene: ethyl acetate: methanol: acetone: acetic acid (6:1.
