Unique to Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites, the mature asexual stages of the life cycle are absent from the peripheral blood stream. Using syringe pumps and commercially available microslides, it is possible to mimic the blood flow, and investigate the interactions of erythrocytes infected by well-defined P. falciparum isolates for their ability to bind to various tissue receptors under physiological flow conditions. This chapter outlines the techniques needed to investigate how parasites bind to endothelial cells under physiological sheer stress conditions.

DNA Methylation in Pituitary Adenomas: A Scoping Review.
Int J Mol Sci
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Odense University Hospital, DK-5000 Odense, Denmark.
Pituitary adenomas are a diverse group of neoplasms with variable clinical behavior. Despite advances in genetic analysis, understanding the role of epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation, remains an area under investigation. This scoping review aimed to update and synthesize the current body of literature on DNA methylation in pituitary adenomas, focusing on methodological advancements and clinical correlations.

Background: High concentration protein formulation (HCPF) development needs to balance protein stability attributes such as conformational/colloidal stability, chemical stability, and solution properties such as viscosity and osmolality.
Methodology: A three-phase design is established in this work. In Phase 1, conformational and colloidal stability are measured by 384-well-based high-throughput (HT) biophysical screening while viscosity reduction screening is performed with HT viscosity screening.

Encryption and decryption of data with very low latency and high energy efficiency is desirable in almost every application that deals with sensitive data. The advanced encryption standard (AES) is a widely adopted algorithm in symmetric key cryptography with numerous efficient implementations. Nonetheless, in scenarios involving extensive data processing, the primary limitations on performance and efficiency arise from data movement between memory and the processor, rather than data processing itself.

Background: Digital recombinase polymerase amplification (dRPA) is an effective tool for the absolute quantification of nucleic acids and the detection of rare mutations. Due to the high viscosity or other physical properties of the reagent, this can compromise the accuracy and reproducibility of detection results, which limits the broader adoption and practical application of this technology. In this study, we developed an asymmetric contact angle digital isothermal detection (ACA-DID) chip and optimized the ACA-DID chip structure to achieve rapid digital recombinase polymerase amplification.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) stands out as a highly effective molecular identification technique, renowned for its exceptional sensitivity, specificity, and non-destructive nature. It has become a main technology in various sectors, including biological detection and imaging, environmental monitoring, and food safety. With the development of material science and the expansion of application fields, SERS substrate materials have also undergone significant changes: from precious metals to semiconductors, from single crystals to composite particles, from rigid to flexible substrates, and from two-dimensional to three-dimensional structures.
