The distribution of Zinc (Zn) and Cadmium (Cd) was analyzed in nuclear, mitochondrial and cytosol cellular fractions of prostatic carcinoma of different histological grading, BPH and normal prostate by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Distinct differences in Zn and Cd concentration in carcinomatous material in comparison with BPH and normal prostates was found. The highest concentration of Cd and the lowest level of Zn were found in poorly differentiated carcinomas. The results in cellular fractions were compared with investigations on Zn and Cd distribution in prostatic slices by laser AAS.

Reduced expression of nucleolar genes induces stress and DNA damage. Here, we present a protocol to analyze DNA fragmentation at the single-cell level in Drosophila imaginal discs using an optimized alkaline comet assay. We describe steps for larvae development, tissue disaggregation, and single-cell dissociation.

Experimental studies of chronic noise exposure in modern urban life testified about oxidative stress due to the corresponding hormones effects leading to accumulation of reactive oxygen species and endothelial dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate the protective effect of α2-adrenoblockers to modulate oxidative stress and corticosterone levels due to chronic noise exposure. To achieve this, we examined the effects of beditin (2-aminothiozolyl-1,4-benzodioxane) and mesedin (2-(2-methyl-amino-thiozolyl)-1,4-benzodioxane hydrochloride), along with changes in corticosterone, Ca2 + content, and morphological alterations in various tissues under noise-induced stress.

Background: Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI uses diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI acquisitions to evaluate the microvascular and cellular environments of tissue. Due to these properties, IVIM has been increasingly utilized to evaluate abnormal placentation.
Objective: Our primary objective was to compare IVIM parameters in the placenta of patients with fetal growth restriction and appropriate for gestational age controls across gestational ages.

Most plant pathogens secrete effector proteins to circumvent host immune responses, thereby promoting pathogen virulence. One such pathogen is the fungus , which causes Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) disease on wheat and barley. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that expresses many candidate effector proteins during early phases of the infection process, some of which are annotated as proteases.

Arginylation is the posttranslational addition of arginine to a protein by arginyltransferase-1 (ATE1). Previous studies have found that ATE1 targets multiple cytoskeletal proteins, and Ate1 deletion causes cytoskeletal defects, including reduced cell motility and adhesion. Some of these defects have been linked to actin arginylation, but the role of other arginylated cytoskeletal proteins has not been studied.
