Biomolecule microarrays are generally produced by conventional microarrayer, i.e., by contact or inkjet printing. Microcontact printing represents an alternative way of deposition of biomolecules on solid supports but even if various biomolecules have been successfully microcontact printed, the production of biomolecule microarrays in routine by microcontact printing remains a challenging task and needs an effective, fast, robust, and low-cost automation process. Here, we describe the production of biomolecule microarrays composed of extracellular matrix protein for the fabrication of cell microarrays by using an automated microcontact printing device. Large scale cell microarrays can be reproducibly obtained by this method.

Background: The mammalian NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 family (named also silent information regulator or SIRT family, where NAD stands for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide" (NAD)) appears to have a dual role in several human cancers by modulating cell proliferation and death. This study examines how SIRT1 protein levels correlate with clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes in patients with breast cancer.

Methods: A total of 407 BC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were collected from King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Saudi Arabia.

Microvolume ELISA platforms have become vital in diagnostics for their high-throughput capabilities and minimal sample requirements. High-quality substrates with advanced surface properties are essential for these applications. They enable both efficient biomolecule immobilization and antifouling properties, which are critical for assay sensitivity and specificity.

An easy and efficient approach for the synthesis of highly regioselective functionalized dihydronaphthalen-1(2)-one family of α-tetralones from functionalized tetralone precursors which derived from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts as starting substrates has been developed. The target dihydronaphthalen-1(2)-ones are obtained through the oxidation of tetrahydronaphthalenes (THN) using DDQ as the oxidizing agent, conducted in aqueous acetic acid at reflux conditions. The yields obtained ranged from 90 to 98%.

Article Synopsis
  • Aging populations face challenges like impaired glucose tolerance, muscle weakness, and cognitive decline, which can worsen each other and affect society.
  • Unmodulated 40 Hz (u40Hz) stimulation, which is inaudible, has shown potential to improve cognitive function but needs more study.
  • Research using SAMP-10 mice showed that u40Hz stimulation helped improve glucose tolerance, muscle strength, and reduced frailty, suggesting it may be beneficial for countering age-related declines.

Clinically, prostate cancer is infamous for its histological and molecular heterogeneity, which causes great challenges to pinpoint therapy and pharmaceutical development. To overcome these difficulties, researchers are focusing on modulating tumor microenvironment and immune responses in addition to genetic alteration and epigenetic regulation. Here, we aimed to identify potential biomarkers or modulators of prostate cancer by investigating genes specifically altered in prostate cancer cells treated with established anti-cancer agents.
