Background: Femtosecond (fs) Laser Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (fs-LIMS) on colon tissues are described and investigated using ionization/fragmentation processes in details to present a new application in this study. Linear Time of Flight (L-TOF) mass analyzer was utilized to investigate paraffin-embedded human tissue in this study. The effect of fs laser intensity on the spectral characteristics was investigated and interpreted due to mass spectra obtained using 800 nm wavelength with 90 fs pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate.
Objectives: Mass spectra of tissues were recorded from L-TOF system and then analyzed by performing a statistical approach called Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The fs-LIMS method applied is proposed as a new and pioneering technology to analyze tissues using L-TOF system, as a human free fast and reliable intra-operative cancer diagnosis method for guiding surgeon to clean the edges of cancerous tissues to be applied during the surgical operation, for pathological examinations. Fs-LIMS provides some unique diagnosis opportunities to investigate biochemical characteristics of cancerous tissues leading to obtain sensitive, fast, and reliable results. The analysis of tissue is based on distribution of molecular ion (m/z) peaks in low mass region (
Methods: The experimental setup mainly consists of an ultrafast (90 fs) laser system, a mass spectrometer, laser-tissue interaction/ablation chamber, data collection, and analysis system with windows based fast digital-storage oscilloscope, statistical application codes which have been developed by our group for analyses running under MATLAB software.
Results: Paraffin embedded colon tissues have been distinguished from each other with statistical approaches using fs-LIMS based data as an alternative to histological and pathological examinations.
Conclusion: The fs-LIMS method provides a powerful novel approach to identify and analyze tissues. This promising method provides a fast and reliable (free of human mistakes) diagnosis and guidance for pathologists, surgeons, and patients during surgical operations, as well as increase the significance of mass spectrometric tissue analysis methods, especially with those capability of molecular identification of tissues.

Deciphering the interplay between biology and physics with a finite element method-implemented vertex organoid model: A tool for the mechanical analysis of cell behavior on a spherical organoid shell.

Understanding the interplay between biology and mechanics in tissue architecture is challenging, particularly in terms of 3D tissue organization. Addressing this challenge requires a biological model enabling observations at multiple levels from cell to tissue, as well as theoretical and computational approaches enabling the generation of a synthetic model that is relevant to the biological model and allowing for investigation of the mechanical stresses experienced by the tissue. Using a monolayer human colon epithelium organoid as a biological model, freely available tools (Fiji, Cellpose, Napari, Morphonet, or Tyssue library), and the commercially available Abaqus FEM solver, we combined vertex and FEM approaches to generate a comprehensive viscoelastic finite element model of the human colon organoid and demonstrated its flexibility.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?
Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.
What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.

NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) protein is located in the mitochondria and can regulate cell proliferation. Some studies have shown that the high NDUFA4L2 expression is linked with poor prognosis and cancer progression in various patients with cancers. However, the correlation between NDUFA4L2 and pan-cancer is unknown.

This study aimed to compare the inhibitory effect of flunixin meglumine and meloxicam on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract in male cattle. Tissue samples, including the abomasum, ileum, proximal loop and centripetal gyri of the ascending colon, were collected from routinely slaughtered male cattle. These samples were sectioned into strips and mounted in an isolated tissue bath system.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with the two predominant endophenotypes-Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)-represents a group of chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions. Since most genetic associations with IBD are often limited to independent subtypes, we reported a genome-wide association study (GWAS) cross-trait analysis combined with CD and UC to enhance statistical power. Initially, we detected 256 association signals at 54 genomic susceptibility loci and further characterized the functionality of variants within these regions.
