The tetrazole-based photoclick chemistry has attracted considerable attention in virtue of its good biocompatibility, exclusive molecular reaction, and spatiotemporally controllable properties. Using this photoclick reaction, we designed an in situ, real-time fluorescence imaging system that targeted mitochondria and lysosomes in a spatiotemporally controllable manner. Upon irradiation, the pyrazoline fluorophore was generated in situ by the intramolecular tetrazole-alkene cycloaddition reaction ("photo-click chemistry"). This strategy exhibits features such as fast response, high efficiency, strong fluorescence intensity without background and superior stability. In addition, by integrating with an organelle-specific group, it has a good application for subcellular targeting imaging. Furthermore, the photo-responsive moiety Tet facilitates the probes, Mt-Tet and Ly-Tet, for the super-resolution imaging of subcellular structures.

Mechanisms of cognitive impairment associated with cerebral infarction.

Cerebral infarction is a common type of stroke with high incidence and disability rates, and most patients experience varying degrees of cognitive impairment. The manifestations and severity of post-infarction cognitive impairment are influenced by multiple interacting factors, and its pathophysiological mechanisms are highly complex, involving pericyte degeneration, excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), overproduction of glutamate, and overactivation of autophagy. After cerebral infarction, abnormal pericyte function activates neuroinflammation and facilitates the entry of inflammatory mediators into the brain; detachment of pericytes from blood vessels disrupts the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

The phospholipase A and acyltransferase (PLAAT) family is a group of structurally related proteins that are conserved among vertebrates. In humans, the family comprises five members (PLAAT1-5), which share common domain structures, and functions as phospholipase A/A and acyltransferase enzymes. Regarding acyltransferase activities, PLAATs produce N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamines, which serve as the precursor of bioactive N-acylethanolamines (NAEs).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of rising morbidity and mortality among humans worldwide; however, our approach to the pathogenesis, exploration, and management of CVDs still remains limited. As the heart consists of cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and several types of cells, different types of dysfunction in the interplay between organelles play an important damaging role, resulting in cardiac pathologies. The interplay between cellular organelles is intricate and vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis, as highlighted by multiple diseases linked to the dysfunction of both organelles.

A novel pheophorbide derivative, trimethyl-152-[L-aspartyl]pheophorbide a was synthesised and investigated for anti-tumor activity. The prepared photosensitizer had good absorption in the phototherapeutic window and high ROS yields. It exhibited excellent phototoxicity higher than reference compound m-THPC when irradiated by 650 nm light in vitro, and obvious photodynamic anti-tumor effect in vivo.

Although every cell biologist knows the importance of selecting the right growth conditions and it is well known that the composition of growth medium may vary depending on a product brand or lot affecting many cellular processes, still those effects are poorly systematized. We addressed this issue by comparing the effect of 12 fetal bovine sera (FBS) and eight growth media from different brands on the morphological and functional parameters of five cell types: lung adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, embryonic kidney, and colorectal cancer cells. Using high-throughput imaging, we compared cell proliferation; performed morphological profiling based on the imaging of 561,519 cells; measured extracellular regulated kinases (ERK1/2) activity, mitochondria potential, and lysosome accumulation; and compared cell sensitivity to drugs, response to EGF stimulation, and ability to differentiate.
