Intracellular thermometry techniques play an important role in elucidating the relationship between the intracellular temperature and stem cell functions. However, there have been few reports on thermometry techniques that can detect the intracellular temperature of cells during several days of incubation. In this study, we developed a novel quantum thermometric sensing and analysis system (QTAS) using fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs). FNDs could label adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) at high efficiency with 24 h of incubation, and no cytotoxicity was observed in ASCs labeled with less than 500 μg mL of FNDs. The peak of FNDs was confirmed at approximately 2.87 GHz with the characteristic fluorescence spectra of NV centers that could be optically detected (optically detected magnetic resonance [ODMR]). The ODMR peak clearly shifted to the high-frequency side as the temperature decreased and gave a mean temperature dependence of -(77.6 ± 11.0) kHz °C, thus the intracellular temperature of living ASCs during several days of culturing could be precisely measured using the QTAS. Moreover, the intracellular temperature was found to influence the production of growth factors and the degree of differentiation into adipocytes and osteocytes. These data suggest that the QTAS can be used to investigate the relationship between intracellular temperature and cellular functions.

Rab GTPases are a class of small GTP-binding proteins, play crucial roles in the membrane transport machinery with in eukaryotic cells. They dynamically regulate the precise targeting and tethering of transport vesicles to specific compartments by transitioning between active and inactive states. In plants, Rab GTPases are classified into eight distinct subfamilies: Rab1/D, Rab2/B, Rab5/F, Rab6/H, Rab7/G, Rab8/E, Rab11/A, and Rab18/C.

is a typical aroma-producing yeast in food brewing, but it has low heat resistance and poor proliferation ability at high temperature. Trehalose is generally considered to be a protective agent that helps stable yeast cells resist heat shock stress, but its functional mechanism for yeast cells in the adaptation period under heat stress is unclear. In this study, the physiological metabolism changes, specific gene transcription expression characteristics, and transcriptome differences of under different carbon sources under high-temperature stress (40 °C) were compared to explore the mechanism of trehalose inducing to recover and proliferate under high-temperature stress during the adaptation period.

Selective binding of small molecule ligands to nucleic acids with high affinity and limited toxicity remains an important goal in the development of compounds that can probe DNA or RNA in cells. Thiazole orange is a cell semi-permeant, fluorescent cyanine dye, with low background noise, that binds several forms of nucleic acids. However, thiazole orange can exhibit cytotoxicity when used at high concentration and/or with prolonged exposure.

Thermoacidophilic archaea thrive in environments with high temperatures and low pH where cells are prone to severe oxidative stress due to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). While the oxidative stress responses have been extensively studied in bacteria and eukaryotes, the mechanisms in archaea remain largely unexplored. Here, using a multidisciplinary approach, we reveal that SisPerR, the homolog of bacterial PerR in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A, is responsible for ROS response of transcriptional regulation.

High temperature (HT) shock is one of environmental stressors suppressing microalgal activities in microalgal wastewater bioremediation system. However, its inhibition mechanism and how to alleviate such suppression remain inadequately understood. This study confirmed a transient ferroptosis as a novel form of programmed cell death in a wastewater-indigenous Chlorella sp.
