The current study employed a variety of spectroscopic methods and molecular modeling to thoroughly look at, under physiological settings, the interaction between bicalutamide (BIC) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). According to our study, the BSA-BIC system's static quenching procedure is supported by the Stern-Volmer quenching constants. The binding constant dropped with temperature, implying that the BSA-BIC complex was weakened. The BSA absorption spectra shifted to a lower wavelength area (from 278 to 272 nm) upon the addition of BIC. The distance (r) between the acceptor and donor in the complex of BIC-BSA and circular dichroism (CD) spectra show the molecular exchanges between BIC and BSA. This study is essential for understanding the therapeutic approach to cancer management through drug distribution and pharmacological effectiveness.

Clarifying the stability and co-transport of environmental colloids and radionuclides in porous media is crucial, as they pose potential risks to nuclear environmental safety. However, there is limited knowledge of the significant role of protein corona in Eu(III) transport carried by bentonite colloids (BC) in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The protein corona mediated the stability and co-transport behaviors of BC and Eu(III) in saturated quartz columns were investigated, and a ripening adsorption co-transport model (RACM) was established to qualitatively describe the Eu(III) transport by composited colloids.

Brucellosis poses a major health and economic challenge in endemic areas, especially in Iran. This study aimed to determine the strains and epidemiological features of Brucella isolated from raw milk at traditional milk sales centers in western Iran. A total of 208 raw milk samples were collected from 104 dairy sales centers in Hamadan province during two sampling periods in 2023.

Purpose: After stromal injury to the cornea, the release of growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines promotes the activation of quiescent keratocytes into a migratory fibroblast and/or fibrotic myofibroblast phenotype. Persistence of the myofibroblast phenotype can lead to corneal fibrosis and scarring, which are leading causes of blindness worldwide. This study aims to establish comprehensive transcriptional profiles for cultured corneal keratocytes, fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts to gain insights into the mechanisms through which these phenotypic changes occur.

Although every cell biologist knows the importance of selecting the right growth conditions and it is well known that the composition of growth medium may vary depending on a product brand or lot affecting many cellular processes, still those effects are poorly systematized. We addressed this issue by comparing the effect of 12 fetal bovine sera (FBS) and eight growth media from different brands on the morphological and functional parameters of five cell types: lung adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, embryonic kidney, and colorectal cancer cells. Using high-throughput imaging, we compared cell proliferation; performed morphological profiling based on the imaging of 561,519 cells; measured extracellular regulated kinases (ERK1/2) activity, mitochondria potential, and lysosome accumulation; and compared cell sensitivity to drugs, response to EGF stimulation, and ability to differentiate.

Introduction: Straw pellet ration replacing part of silage is of great significance for farmers to save farming costs and solve the lack of feed resources. A comprehensive analysis of rumen microbial and serum metabolite compositions is conducted to promote the development of the modern breeding cows-feeding industry.
Methods: In this study, 18 healthy 2-year-old Simmental breeding cows weighing 550 ± 20 kg were selected and randomly divided into two groups.
