A cost minimized immunoaffinity protocol was developed, which allows the direct purification of ERAs (urinary and recombinant human EPO, Darbepoetin, EPO-Fc, CERA) from human urine. The method applies magnetic beads and needs no covalent immobilization of the capture antibody. It requires only 10 mL of urine, 1 μg of anti-EPO antibody, and 25 μL of bead slurry.

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are the end result of the irreversible, non-enzymatic glycation of proteins by reducing sugars. These chemical modifications accumulate with age and have been associated with various age-related and diabetic complications. AGEs predominantly accumulate on proteins with slow turnover rates, of which collagen is a prime example.

The rapid progress in nanotechnology has introduced multifunctional iron oxide nanoparticles as promising agents in cancer treatment. This research focused on the synthesis and assessment of citric-acid-coated, folic-acid-conjugated nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin, evaluating their therapeutic potential in tumor models. An advanced automated continuous technology line (CTL) utilizing a controlled co-precipitation method was employed to produce highly dispersive, multifunctional nanofluids with a narrow size distribution.

The authors of the first paper identified 8 groups of spots on 2D electrophoretic maps corresponding to 8 proteins with at least two unconcretised proteoforms.

The aim of this work was to obtain homogenous coatings containing chitosan with different concentrations of titanium nitride particles (TiN). The coatings were deposited via an electrophoretic process on an etched medically pure Ti-6Al-4V alloy. As part of the study, the zeta potential of the suspensions used for EPD coating deposition was measured, allowing for the optimization of process parameters and the assessment of suspension stability.
