AI Article Synopsis

  • This study presents a new method that combines nuclear sub-fractionation with advanced mass spectrometry to effectively measure and quantify proteins found in the nucleus of human cells.
  • The researchers used this method to investigate how cells respond to the sudden breakdown of BET bromodomains, uncovering surprising changes in chromatin regulation.
  • The approach is straightforward and allows for a broader examination of chromatin and genome regulators that were previously difficult to study.

Article Abstract

Transcription factors and other chromatin-associated proteins are difficult to quantify comprehensively. Here, we combine facile nuclear sub-fractionation with data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry to achieve rapid, sensitive, and highly parallel quantification of the nuclear proteome in human cells. We apply this approach to quantify the response to acute degradation of BET bromodomains, revealing unexpected chromatin regulatory dynamics. The method is simple and enables system-level study of previously inaccessible chromatin and genome regulators.

Recent regulatory approvals of three amyloid-lowering monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have triggered a polarizing debate in the field on the clinical meaningfulness of their reported effects. The question of how to define clinical meaningfulness for any treatment that has a modest effect size is important and will likely be subject to influence from interested stakeholders. We warn of claims of evaluating meaningful within-individual change from randomized parallel-group trials of AD treatments, sometimes purportedly assessed by a commonly recognized "responder" analysis approach, and explain why it is likely to mislead and should simply be avoided.

Analysis of ancient desiccated feces - termed paleofeces or coprolites - can unlock insights into the lives of ancient people. We collected desiccated feces from caves in the Rio Zape Valley in Mexico (725-920 CE). First, we extracted DNA with methods previously optimized for paleofeces.

Vertical flow immunoassay for multiplex mycotoxins based on photonic nitrocellulose and SERS nanotags.

State Key Laboratory of Digital Medical Engineering, School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China.

Here, we report a SERS based VFA using PNC as a sensing substrate for highly sensitive multiplex mycotoxins detection. The PNC was fabricated by filtration-based self-assembled monodisperse SiO NPs on a filter membrane as a template, and the obtained PNC had an ordered complementary inverse opal structure. In parallel, three kinds of Raman dyes encoding Au@Ag, Au@Ag and Au@Ag SERS nanotags were synthesized for the detection of OTA, AFB1 and ZON.

Deciphering the senescence-based tumoral heterogeneity and characteristics in pancreatic cancer: Results from parallel bulk and single-cell transcriptome data.

January 2025

Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital (The Affiliated Lihuili Hospital, Ningbo University), Ningbo, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.

The prevalent intra- and intertumoral heterogeneity results in undesirable prognosis and therapy failure of pancreatic cancer, potentially resulting from cellular senescence. Herein, integrated analysis of bulk and single-cell RNA-seq profiling was conducted to characterize senescence-based heterogeneity in pancreatic cancer. Publicly available bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing from pancreatic cancer patients were gathered from TCGA-PAAD, PACA-AU, PACA-CA, and GSE154778 datasets.

While all native tRNAs undergo extensive post-transcriptional modifications as a mechanism to regulate gene expression, mapping these modifications remains challenging. The critical barrier is the difficulty of readthrough of modifications by reverse transcriptases (RTs). Here we use Induro-a new group-II intron-encoded RT-to map and quantify genome-wide tRNA modifications in Induro-tRNAseq.
