The electrochemical properties of the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode were improved significantly by surface modification with ethephon and an ultrathin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer to regulate the work function and surface hydrophobicity of ITO. Based on this strategy, the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium (Ru(bpy)) and tri--propylamine (TPrA) in solution and on a microbead surface can be enhanced by 110 and 2 times, respectively. When using the modified electrode to detect nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), the linear range (5-1000 μM) was increased dramatically in comparison with a bare ITO electrode, with a limit of detection of 1.65 μM. The modified electrode with improved electrochemical properties holds great potential for applications in ECL bioassays and imaging analysis.

Studying the Role of HOX Genes in Thrombocyte Development.

Methods Mol Biol

January 2025

Department of Biological Sciences, University of North Texas, Denton, TX, USA.

In our laboratory, we study thrombopoiesis and hemostasis using zebrafish as a model organism to unravel the mechanisms of differentiation and development of thrombocytes. We have shown in our earlier work that thrombocytes are functional equivalents of platelets and have transcriptional machinery similar to megakaryocytes. We recently found evidence that hox genes play a role in their development.

Women are disproportionately affected by chronic autoimmune diseases (AD) like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Sjögren's syndrome. Traditional evaluations often underestimate the associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke risk in women having AD. Vitamin D deficiency increases susceptibility to these conditions.

Protein kinase R (PKR) is an interferon-induced antiviral protein activated by autophosphorylation in response to double strand DNA (dsRNA) and other stimuli. Activated PKR causes translation inhibition and apoptosis, and it contributes to proinflammatory responses, cell growth, and differentiation. Mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) counteracts PKR by causing its degradation via a viral protein, early region 4 open reading frame 6 (E4orf6).

Emerging tick-borne orthonairovirus infections pose a growing global concern, with limited understanding of the viral ovarian tumor-like cysteine proteases (vOTUs) encoded by novel orthonairoviruses. These vOTUs, a group of deubiquinylases (DUBs), disrupt the innate immune response. Yezo virus (YEZV), a recently discovered pathogenic orthonairovirus, was first reported in Japan in 2021.
