Bioluminescence, an optical marker that does not require excitation by light, allows researchers to simultaneously observe multiple targets, each exhibiting a different color. Notably, the colors of the bioluminescent proteins must sufficiently vary to enable simultaneous detection. Here, we aimed to introduce a method that can be used to expand the color variation by tuning dual-acceptor bioluminescence resonance energy transfer.

In patients with synchronic liver colorectal metastasis, resection of the primary tumor and liver metastases is the only potentially curative strategy. In such cases, there is no consensus on whether resection of the primary tumor and metastases should be performed simultaneously or whether a staged approach should be performed (resection of the primary tumor and after, hepatectomy, or hepatectomy first). Patients with no bowel occlusion and with extensive liver disease are advised neoadjuvant oncological therapy.

The ability to manipulate gene activity and control transgene expression is essential to study gene function. While several genetic tools for modifying genes or controlling expression separately are available for Caenorhabditis elegans, there are no genetic approaches to generate mutations that simultaneously disrupt gene function and provide genetic access to the cells expressing the disrupted gene. To achieve this, we developed a versatile gene trap strategy based on cGAL, a GAL4-UAS bipartite expression system for C.

One approach for developing a more universal influenza vaccine is to elicit strong immune responses against canonically immunosubdominant epitopes in the surface exposed viral glycoproteins. While standard vaccines typically induce responses directed primarily against mutable epitopes in the hemagglutinin (HA) head domain, there are generally limited or variable responses directed against epitopes in the relatively more conserved HA stalk domain and neuraminidase (NA) proteins. Here we describe a vaccine approach that utilizes a combination of wildtype (WT) influenza virus particles along with virus particles engineered to display a trimerized HA stalk in place of the full-length HA protein to elicit both responses simultaneously.

The synthesis of triazoles plays an important role in drug discovery research. 1,2,4-triazoles are considered significant scaffolds among several bioactive heterocycles due to their extensive use in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. Consequently, the importance of the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles a sustainable method has increased.
