Phenylselenide substituted BOPHY probes (BOPHY-SePh and PhSe-BOPHY-SePh) were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal XRD. Both the probes selectively detect HOCl in water with high sensitivity over other reactive oxygen species. A fluorescence "turn-on" event was attained due to cease of the PET process through transformation of selenide to selenoxide. Both the probes react with HOCl in less than 1 s. PhSe-BOPHY-SePh probe depicted low background fluorescence due to presence of two phenylselenide groups at BOPHY. PhSe-BOPHY-SePh probe has a low detection limit (0.63 μM) than BOPHY-SePh probe (1.08 μM). The bioimaging studies of both the probes were carried out in MCF 7 cells. Both the probes exhibited a good fluorescence response for HOCl in vitro and in mammalian cells. In addition, the probes showed reversibility with all bio-thiols, which was validated in MCF 7 cells using GSH.

We build and study an individual based model of the telomere length's evolution in a population across multiple generations. This model is a continuous time typed branching process, where the type of an individual includes its gamete mean telomere length and its age. We study its Malthusian's behaviour and provide numerical simulations to understand the influence of biologically relevant parameters.

Adaptive immune resistance in cancer describes the various mechanisms by which tumors adapt to evade anti-tumor immune responses. IFN-γ induction of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) was the first defined and validated adaptive immune resistance mechanism. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is central to adaptive immune resistance as immune modulatory secreted and integral membrane proteins are dependent on ER.

One hallmark of cancer is the upregulation and dependency on glucose metabolism to fuel macromolecule biosynthesis and rapid proliferation. Despite significant pre-clinical effort to exploit this pathway, additional mechanistic insights are necessary to prioritize the diversity of metabolic adaptations upon acute loss of glucose metabolism. Here, we investigated a potent small molecule inhibitor to Class I glucose transporters, KL-11743, using glycolytic leukemia cell lines and patient-based model systems.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an important zoonotic pathogenic virus, which poses serious threats to public health. MPXV infection can be prevented by immunization against the variola virus. Because of the safety risks and side effects of vaccination with live vaccinia virus (VACV) strain Tian Tan (VTT), we constructed two gene-deleted VTT recombinants (TTVAC7 and TTVC5).

Purpose: Prior sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) thresholds for diagnosing male infertility and predicting assisted reproduction technology (ART) outcomes fluctuated between 15 and 30%, with no agreed standard. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the sperm DFI on early embryonic development during ART treatments and establish appropriate DFI cut-off values.
Methods: Retrospectively analyzed 913 couple's ART cycles from 2021 to 2022, encompassing 1,476 IVF and 295 ICSI cycles, following strict criteria.
