The character of changes in the infrared spectra of E. coli in the process of their mechanical disintegration has been studied. The destruction of E. coli cell structures has been shown to produce no changes in the optical density of the main analytical absorption bands in infrared spectra. This fact suggests that the infrared absorption spectra of E. coli are the sum of the spectra of all chemical components of the cell, which is confirmed by the infrared spectral study of E. coli cell-wall preparations. Similar results have been obtained in the study of the preparations of B. pertussis cell walls, protoplasts and intact cells.

Purpose: To describe a technique involving combined endothelialectomy and trypan blue staining to allow for improved visualization and Descemet membrane (DM) removal during endothelial keratoplasty.

Methods: Endothelialectomy with 2 disposable endothelial irrigating cannulas (Vortex and Sterimedix) and an irrigation-aspiration handpiece are described. Several passes over the desired area are made to ensure adequate endothelialectomy treatment.

Introduction: Challenges remain in reducing antigen escape and tumor recurrence while CAR-T cell therapy has substantially improved outcomes in the treatment of multiple myeloma. T cell receptor fusion construct (TRuC)-T cells, which utilize intact T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex to eliminate tumor cells in a non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted manner, represent a promising strategy. Moreover, interleukin-7 (IL-7) is known to enhance the proliferation and survival of T cells.

Targeted delivery has emerged as a critical strategy in the development of novel therapeutics. The advancement of nanomedicine hinges on the safe and precise cell-specific delivery of protein-based therapeutics to the immune system. However, major challenges remain, such as developing an efficient delivery system, ensuring specificity, minimizing off-target effects, and attaining effective intracellular localization.

Finding effective antibiotics against multi-resistant strains of bacteria has been a challenging race. Linker-Evolved-Group-Optimized-Lipophosphonoxins (LEGO-LPPOs) are small modular synthetic antibacterial compounds targeting the cytoplasmic membrane. Here we focused on understanding the reasons for the variable efficacy of selected LEGO-LPPOs (LEGO-1, LEGO-2, LEGO-3, and LEGO-4) differing in hydrophobic and linker module structure and length.

Autoregulation of the glial gene reversed polarity in Drosophila.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Biology, The University of Mississippi, University, MS, 38677, USA.

During development, cells of the nervous system begin as unspecified precursors and proceed along one of two developmental paths to become either neurons or glia. Work in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has established the role of the transcription factor Glial cells missing (Gcm) in directing neuronal precursor cells to assume a glial cell fate. Gcm acts on many target genes, one of which is reversed polarity (repo).
