Nitrate is the most abundant form of inorganic nitrogen in aerobic soils, serving both as a nutrient and a signaling molecule. Central to nitrate signaling in higher plants is the intricate balance between local and systemic signaling and response pathways. The interplay between local and systemic responses allows plants to regulate their global gene expression, metabolism, physiology, growth, and development under fluctuating nitrate availability. This review offers an overview of recent discoveries regarding new players on nitrate sensing and signaling, in local and systemic contexts in Arabidopsis thaliana. Additionally, it addresses unanswered questions that warrant further investigation for a better understanding of nitrate signaling and responses in plants.

Optimized Intravenous Injection in Adult Zebrafish.

J Vis Exp

December 2024

Department of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong; ZeBlast Technology Limited, Hong Kong Science Park;

Intravenous (IV) injection is widely recognized as the most effective and commonly utilized method for achieving systemic delivery of substances in mammalian research models. However, its application in adult zebrafish for drug delivery, stem cell transplantation, and regenerative and cancer studies has been limited due to the challenges posed by their small body size and intricate blood vessels. To overcome these limitations, alternative injection techniques such as intracardiac and retro-orbital (RO) injection have been explored in the past for stem cell transplantation in adult zebrafish.

NIR-Activated Hydrogel with Dual-Enhanced Antibiotic Effectiveness for Thorough Elimination of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, School of Chemical Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200072, China.

Antibiotic resistance has become a critical health crisis globally. Traditional strategies using antibiotics can lead to drug-resistance, while inorganic antimicrobial agents can cause severe systemic toxicity. Here, we have developed a dual-antibiotic hydrogel delivery system (PDA-Ag@Levo/CMCS), which can achieve controlled release of clinical antibiotics levofloxacin (Levo) and classic nanoscale antibiotic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), effectively eliminating drug-resistant .

Innovative payloads for ADCs in cancer treatment: moving beyond the selective delivery of chemotherapy.

Ther Adv Med Oncol

January 2025

Division of New Drugs and Early Drug Development, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Via Giuseppe Ripamonti 435, Milan 20141, Italy.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a transformative approach in cancer therapy by enhancing tumor targeting and minimizing systemic toxicity compared to traditional chemotherapy. Initially developed with chemotherapy agents as payloads, ADCs have now incorporated alternative payloads, such as immune-stimulating agents, natural toxins, and radionuclides, to improve therapeutic efficacy and specificity. A significant advancement in ADC technology is the integration of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs), which enable the precise degradation of cellular targets involved in tumorigenesis.

Localized inflammatory reactions in patients with past procedural history of intradermal injections can quickly drive the clinician's attention towards a diagnosis of soft-tissue infection in the context of symptoms such as fever, malaise, and local induration of the adipose panniculus. However, in patients with a long-term history of granulomatous events, a rheumatologic approach must be taken into consideration when the clinical course overwhelms the odds for more conventional diagnoses. In this case, a 39-year-old female patient who underwent bilateral lower limbs intradermal filllers presented with a two-year clinical course of repetitive flares of external bilateral hip tenderness, pain that limits her walking, soft-tissue nodular inflammation, redness, fever and a soft mobile nonpainful right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.
