The increase in rat body temperature by 2-3 degrees as a result of overheating (45 degrees C, 22% humidity) over 90 and 120 min is accompanied by changes in the rate of labeled precursors incorporation into rat liver protein fractions. The incorporation of labeled amino acids into liver nuclear matrix proteins within the first 90 min of overheating is somewhat decreased, whereas 120 min thereafter it exceeds by 30% the corresponding values in control animals kept at room temperature. The polypeptide pattern of the nuclear matrix in hyperthermia is characterized by an increased relative content of polypeptide components around Mr 100, 55, 40 and 30 kDa against a decreased level of several polypeptides as compared to the control.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is often more susceptible to damage compared to nuclear DNA. This is due to its localization in the mitochondrial matrix, where a large portion of reactive oxygen species are produced. Mitochondria do not have histones and mtDNA is only slightly protected by histone-like proteins and is believed to have less efficient repair mechanisms.

Characteristic patterns of UV-induced skin autofluorescence were determined for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and associated with dysmetabolic alterations, such as nonenzymatic protein glycation, an increase in extracellular matrix stiffness, impaired metabolism of tissue fluorophores, mitochondrial dysfunction, and accumulation of aberrant proteins. Key differences in skin autofluorescence spectra were for the first time observed in PD, making it possible to discriminate between PD patients and healthy persons or individuals without signs of chronic neurodegeneration. Namely, skin fluorescence related to the reflected signal upon excitation with UV light at 375 nm was lower in PD patients.

Excessive fibrosis is the primary factor for the failure of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation. Thus, strategies to suppress scar formation in GDD implantation are crucial. Although it is known that in implanted medical devices, microscale modification of the implant surface can modulate cell behavior and reduce the incidence of fibrosis, in the field of ophthalmic implants, especially the modification and effects of hydrogel micropatterns have rarely been reported.

Recent studies have attributed its low light yield to the thermal quenching effect. In this study, we employed the strategy of adding an yttrium (Y) admixture to the GSAG matrix to increase the thermal activation energy of thermal quenching.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer that lacks hormone receptors, which makes it more likely to metastasize and have a poor prognosis. Despite some effectiveness of chemotherapy, TNBC remains challenging to manage, with high relapse and mortality rates. Recent findings have highlighted the role of the ubiquitin-protease system in TNBC, with ABI2 identified as a significant regulator.
