From an animal health perspective, relatively little is known about the typical or healthy ranges of concentrations for many metabolites in bovine biofluids and tissues. Here, we describe the results of a comprehensive, quantitative metabolomic characterization of six bovine biofluids and tissues, including serum, ruminal fluid, liver, (LT) muscle, semimembranosus (SM) muscle, and testis tissues. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), we were able to identify and quantify more than 145 metabolites in each of these biofluids/tissues. Combining these results with previous work done by our team on other bovine biofluids, as well as previously published literature values for other bovine tissues and biofluids, we were able to generate quantitative reference concentration data for 2100 unique metabolites across five different bovine biofluids and seven different tissues. These experimental data were combined with computer-aided, genome-scale metabolite inference techniques to add another 48,628 unique metabolites that are biochemically expected to be in bovine tissues or biofluids. Altogether, 51,801 unique metabolites were identified in this study. Detailed information on these 51,801 unique metabolites has been placed in a publicly available database called the Bovine Metabolome Database.

Objective: When synthetic particles are injected into a biofluid, proteins nonspecifically adsorb onto the particle surface and form a protein corona. Protein coronas are known to alter how particles function in blood; however, little is known about protein corona formation in synovial fluid or how these coronas change with osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, protein coronas were characterized on particles incubated within OA-affected or healthy rat knees.

BSA/PEI/GOD modified cellulose nanocrystals for construction of hydrogel-based flexible glucose sensors for sweat detection.

School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Ludong University, Key Laboratory of High Performance and Functional Polymer in the Universities of Shandong Province, Collaborative Innovation Center of Shandong Province for High Performance Fibers and Their Composites, Yantai 264025, China.

With the miniaturization, integration and intelligence of sweat electrochemical sensor technology, hydrogel flexible sensors have demonstrated immense potential in the field of real-time and non-invasive personal health monitoring. However, it remains a challenge to integrate excellent mechanical properties, self-healing properties, and electrochemical sensing capabilities into the preparation of hydrogel-based flexible sensors. The utilization of CBPG (cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)@bovine serum albumin (BSA)@polyethyleneimine (PEI) glucose oxidase (GOD) nanomaterial) as both an enhancing phase and sensor probe within a hydrogel matrix, with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) serving as the primary network constituent, has been proposed as a non-invasive technique for monitoring trace glucose levels in sweat.

Stable Air Plastron Prolongs Biofluid Repellency of Submerged Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

Langmuir

School of Chemical Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Materials Science, Aalto University, Tietotie 3 Espoo 02150, Finland.

Superhydrophobic surfaces find applications in numerous biomedical scenarios, requiring the repellence of biofluids and biomolecules. Plastron, the trapped air between a superhydrophobic surface and a wetting liquid, plays a pivotal role in biofluid repellency. A key challenge, however, is the often short-lived plastron stability in biofluids and the lack of knowledge surrounding it.

Biofouling can cause severe infections, device malfunctions, and failures in diagnostics and therapeutics. Proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) have recently been used as coatings to resist biofouling because they combine surface anchoring and antifouling properties. However, their antifouling effectiveness will significantly deteriorate in complex biofluids with high salinity, limiting their practical applications.

Extracellular vesicles affecting embryo development : a potential culture medium supplement.

Institute for Reproductive Health, School of Pharmacy, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, China.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanometer-sized lipid bilayer vesicles released by cells, playing a crucial role in mediating cellular communication. This review evaluates the effect of EVs on early embryonic development by systematically searching the literature across three databases, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus, from inception (Embase, 1947; PubMed, 1996; and Scopus, 2004) to 30 June 2024. A total of 28 studies were considered relevant and included in this review.
