Article Abstract

Zearalenone (ZEN) is a mycotoxin that has a carcinogenic effect and is often found at a high rate in frequently consumed foods. In this study, a characteristic molecular imprinted quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor based on molybdenum disulfide nanoparticle (MoSNPs)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite (MoSNPs-MWCNTs) is presented for selective determination of ZEA in rice samples. Firstly, molybdenum disulfide nanoparticle (MoSNP)-multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposites were characterized by using microscopic, spectroscopic, and electrochemical techniques. Then, ZEA-imprinted QCM chip was prepared in the presence of methacryloylamidoglutamicacid (MAGA) as monomer, N,N'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator, and ZEA as target molecule by using UV polymerization. The sensor revealed a linearity toward ZEA in the range 1.0-10.0 ng L with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.30 ng L. The high repeatability, reusability, selectivity, and stability of the developed sensor enable reliable ZEA detection in rice samples.

Genomic imprinting is the parent-of-origin dependent monoallelic expression of genes often associated with regions of germline-derived DNA methylation that are maintained as differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) in somatic tissues. This form of epigenetic regulation is highly conserved in mammals and is thought to have co-evolved with placentation. Tissue-specific gDMRs have been identified in human placenta, suggesting that species-specific imprinting dependent on unorthodox epigenetic establishment or maintenance may be more widespread than previously anticipated.

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that results in parent-of-origin effects on mammalian development and growth. Research on genomic imprinting in domesticated animals has lagged due to a primary focus on orthologs of mouse and human imprinted genes. This emphasis has limited the discovery of imprinted genes specific to livestock.

A novel strategy for cytochrome c selective recognition assisted with cucurbit[6]uril by host-guest interaction via N-terminal epitope imprinting and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was developed. N-terminal nonapeptide of cytochrome c (GI-9) was used as the epitope template to achieve highly selective recognition of cytochrome c. As a common supramolecule in recent years, cucurbit[6]uril can encapsulate the butyrammonium group of lysine residue to capture the peptide and improve the corresponding spatial orientation by the host-guest interaction for GI-9 or cytochrome c recognition.

Thiol-maleimide click reaction-driven imprinted polymer for chiral resolution of indoprofen.

J Chromatogr A

January 2025

Indoprofen (INP) comprises two enantiomers, R- and S-, whose high pharmacological efficacy is realized only in the case of the separated enantiomers. A newly synthesized poly(acrylonitrile-co-divinylbenzene) (PANB)-based sorbent with selective affinity to the S-enantiomer of INP was applied to separate INP racemate. The synthesis was performed by suspension polymerization with low-crosslinked PANB microparticles and by reaction of the inserted nitriles with 1-amino-1H-pyrrole-2,5‑dione (Ma-NH).

Genetics of Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes: 2024 update.

Curr Opin Psychiatry

December 2024

Departments of Psychiatry &, Behavioral Sciences and Pediatrics, University of Kansas Medical Centre, Kansas City, Kansas, United States.

Purpose Of Review: Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes arise from errors in 15q11-q13 imprinting. This review describes recent advances in genomics and how these expand our understanding of these rare disorders, guiding treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Recent Findings: PWS features include severe infantile hypotonia, failure to thrive, hypogonadism, developmental delay, behavioral and psychiatric features, hyperphagia, and morbid obesity, if unmanaged.
