A new assay for HIV antigens, the avidin-biotin enhanced reverse passive hemagglutination (AB RPHA) test is described which is suitable for detection of infection in cell culture experiments. This assay is simple to perform and economical, and has sensitivity equal to or greater than that of commercial ELISA assays. The coated red cells used for this assay may be stored in the frozen or lyophilized state.

Corosolic acid and its derivatives targeting MCCC1 against insulin resistance and their hypoglycemic effect on type 2 diabetic mice.

Corosolic acid (CA), a natural triterpenoid, exhibits various biological activities and is often called as plant-derived insulin due to its significant hypoglycemic effects, making it especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes or high blood glucose levels. However, CA has notable in vitro toxicity, low water solubility, and poor pharmacokinetic properties. To address these limitations, a series of CA derivatives were synthesized, resulting in the identification of derivative H26, which demonstrates a significantly enhanced hypoglycemic effect, reduced toxicity, and improved pharmacokinetic characteristics compared to CA.

Background: Psychrophiles can survive under cryogenic conditions because of various biomolecules. These molecules interact with cells, ice crystals, and lipid bilayers to enhance their functionality. Previous studies typically measured these interactions by thawing frozen samples and conducting biological assays at room temperature; however, studying these interactions under cryogenic conditions is crucial.

Electronic address:
Challenges for glioma treatment with nanomedicines include physio-anatomical barriers (the blood-brain barrier and blood-brain tumor barrier), low drug loading capacity, and limited circulation time. Here, a red blood cell membrane-coated docetaxel drug nanocrystal (pV-RBCm-NC(DTX)), modified with pHA-VAP (pV) for all-stage targeting of glioma, was designed. The NC(DTX) core exhibited a high drug loading capacity but low in vivo stability, and the RBCm coating significantly enhanced the stability and prolonged in vivo circulation.

Background: Stem cell transplantation is one of the treatment methods for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MicroRNA-1 contributes to the study of the essential mechanisms of stem cell transplantation for treating AMI by targeted regulating the myocardial microenvironment after stem cell transplantation at the post-transcriptional level. Thus, microRNA-1 participates in regulating the myocardial microenvironment after stem cell transplantation, a promising strategy for the Stem cell transplantation treatment of AMI.

A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for highly sensitive detection of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a well-known depression marker. The immunosensor was fabricated by modifying indium tin oxide-coated polyethylene terephthalate (ITO-PET) with N-doped graphene-polyaniline (NG-PANI) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to enhance the conductivity and protein loading capacity. Subsequently, BDNF was immobilized onto the electrode surface via gold-sulfur bonds, followed by the attachment of biotinylated antibody (Biotin-Ab) and horseradish peroxidase-avidin (HRP-Avidin) to create the final immunosensor (HRP-Avidin-Biotin-Ab-BDNF-AuNPs/NG-PANI/ITO-PET).
