FcγRIIa receptor binding is part of the mechanism of action for many therapeutic antibodies. AlphaScreen® technology and Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) are often used to assess protein-protein interactions. Recently we demonstrated that the presence of aggregates in samples significantly increased binding potency values in AlphaScreen®-based FcRn binding assays, sometimes masking the loss of potency. Even bigger effect of aggregates was observed in an AlphaScreen®-based FcγRIIa binding assay for a monoclonal antibody with strong effector function. To resolve this issue a novel BLI-based FcγRIIa binding assay was developed and qualified. The assay measures association binding responses and calculates the binding potency of the samples relative to the standard using Parallel Line Analysis. The method overcomes interference of aggregates present in the samples, distinguishes different Fc glycosylation patterns, and is stability-indicating. It can be used for sample characterization, drug product release and stability testing.

This study investigates the phenolic compounds (PC), volatile compounds (VC), and fatty acids (FA) of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) derived from the Turkish olive variety "Sarı Ulak", along with ADMET, DFT, molecular docking, and gene network analyses of significant molecules identified within the EVOO. Chromatographic methods (GC-FID, HPLC) were employed to characterize FA, PC, and VC profiles, while quality parameters, antioxidant activities (TAC, ABTS, DPPH) were assessed via spectrophotometry. The analysis revealed a complex composition of 40 volatile compounds, with estragole, 7-hydroxyheptene-1, and 3-methoxycinnamaldehyde as the primary components.

Background: Interactions between RNA-binding proteins and RNA regulate RNA transcription during osteoporosis. Ferroptosis, a programmed cell death caused by iron metabolism, plays a vital role in osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms by which RNA-binding proteins are involved in ferroptosis during osteoporosis remain unclear.

Background: X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a female-specific process in which one X chromosome is silenced to balance X-linked gene expression between the sexes. XCI is initiated in early development by upregulation of the lncRNA Xist on the future inactive X (Xi). A subset of X-linked genes escape silencing and thus have higher expression in females, suggesting female-specific functions.

Objectives: SOX10 is crucially implicated in various cancer, yet the regulatory role in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains enigmatic. Underlying molecular mechanisms of SOX10 in PC were explored in our study.
Methods: Relationships between SOX10 and immune landscape were estimated using bioinformatic approaches.

Background: Epigenetic modifications have been proved to play important roles in the spinal degenerative diseases. As a type of noncoding RNA, the microRNA (miRNA) is a vital class of regulatory factor in the epigenetic modifications, while the role of miRNAs in the regulation of epigenetic modifications in ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) has not been fully investigated.
Methods: The miRNA sequencing analysis was used to explore the change of miRNA expression during the fibrosis of ligamentum flavum (LF) cells caused by the TGF-β1 (10 ng/ml).
