In this work, a novel polymer membrane molecularly imprinted on a silanized glass substrate was prepared. Lysozyme was chosen as the template protein, and acrylamide and '-methylenebisacrylamide were used as the functional monomer and crosslinking agent, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium time, maximum adsorption capacity, specific recognition ability, reusability, and application of the prepared lysozyme-imprinted polymer membrane were investigated experimentally. The prepared polymer membrane exhibited special recognition ability and could quickly adsorb lysozyme. Under optimal conditions, the adsorption equilibrium time of the prepared polymer membrane for lysozyme was 5 min, and the adsorption behavior conformed to the Langmuir adsorption model; the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 42.5 mg/g, and the adsorption capacity for an egg sample was 30 mg/g. Additionally, the polymer membrane showed a high selectivity toward the template protein, lysozyme, and exhibited no obvious adsorption of several interfering proteins; the imprinting factor was 3.0. The maximum adsorption capacity of the polymer membrane decreased by 5% after being reused five times. The polymer membrane was used for the adsorption of lysozyme in samples, and good results were obtained. This strategy has potential for the separation and enrichment of target proteins in complex biological samples.

Tendon injuries present significant medical, social, and economic challenges globally. Despite advancements in tendon injury repair techniques, outcomes remain suboptimal due to inferior tissue quality and functionality. Tissue engineering offers a promising avenue for tendon regeneration, with biocompatible scaffolds playing a crucial role.

Membrane alterations are among central factors predetermining cell survival during cryopreservation. In the present research, we tested some serum-/xeno-free cryoprotective compositions including dimethyl sulfoxide (MeSO) and polymers for their osmotic impact and toxicity towards testicular interstitial cells (ICs). IC survival was determined after their contact with MeSO, dextran (D40), hydroxyethyl starch (HES), polyethylene glycols (PEG1500 and PEG400), or after cryopreservation and cryoprotective agent (CPA) removal.

Spermatogenesis is one of the most complex processes of cell differentiation and its failure is a major cause of male infertility. Therefore, a proper model that recapitulates spermatogenesis in vitro has been long sought out for basic and clinical research. Testis organ culture using the gas-liquid interphase method has been shown to support spermatogenesis in mice and rats.

Autophagosome cancer vaccines can promote cross-presentation of multiple tumour antigens and induce cross-reactive T cell responses. However, so far, there is no effective method for obtaining a highly immunogenic autophagosomal cancer vaccine because autophagosomes, once formed, quickly fuse with lysosomes and cannot easily escape from cells. Here we report a functional TiNX nanodot that caps the autophagosome membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, blocking the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes and producing stable nanodot-coated autophagosomes in tumours.

Background: Astrocytes are a numerous and diverse glial subtype specialised to carry out distinct roles involving maintaining homeostasis and effective functioning of the nervous system. To do so effectively, they respond to and secrete various proteins. In addition, astrocytes have been linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD), where they are believed to become reactive and contribute to neuroinflammation.
