A tissue culture micromethod is described for adenovirus isolation and preparation for presumptive identification by electron microscopy. These procedures are easier, more economical, and faster than conventional methods. The micro techniques make it more feasible to utilize direct visualization of virus in infected cells as an adjunctive diagnostic and research tool.

Background: To investigate the antibiofilm effect and mechanism of the silver nanowire (AgNW)-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) against multi-species oral biofilm, and to examine the mechanical and biochemical properties of this novel GIC material.

Methods: Conventional GIC was incorporated with different concentrations of AgNW and silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Multi-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were cultured for 72 h on GIC specimens.

While silk fibroin (SF) obtained from silkworm cocoons is expected to become a next-generation natural polymer, a fabrication method for SF-based artificial nerve conduits (SFCs) has not yet been established. Here, we report a bioresorbable SFC, fabricated using a novel freeze-thaw process, which ensures biosafety by avoiding any harmful chemical additives. The SFC demonstrated favorable biocompatibility (high hydrophilicity and porosity with a water content of > 90%), structural stability (stiffness, toughness, and elasticity), and biodegradability, making it an ideal candidate for nerve regeneration.

Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) is the most abundant cephalopod in the fishing industry, and its high nutritional and organoleptic properties make it a go-to food product for consumers. Therefore, developing new processing techniques seems imperative to minimize quality deterioration and provide products with appropriate characteristics. The study aimed to determine the effect of high-pressure impregnation (HPI) pretreatment on hot air-drying kinetics and the quality of Humboldt squid slices.

Low Voltage Electron Microscopy: An Emerging Tool for AAV Characterization.

J Pharm Sci

January 2025

Formerly with Spark Therapeutics, Inc., 3025 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19104.

Transmission electron microscopy has become a standard characterization tool for adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy products. However, cost and expertise requirements place in-house traditional transmission electron microscope systems out of reach for many companies in the field. Recently developed low voltage electron microscopes can fulfill many of the needs for adeno-associated virus characterization at a fraction of the cost.

Electronic address:

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors has opened up new avenues for cancer treatment, but serious cardiac injury has emerged in their use. A large number of data have shown that abnormal activation of cytosolic DNA-sensing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-interferon gene activator pathway is closely related to cardiovascular inflammation and autoimmune diseases. However, the pathophysiological function of the cGAS-STING cascade in myocarditis induced by Immune checkpoint inhibitors is unclear.
