Fraction 1, containing 65--70% of nuclear DNA (nDNA) was extracted from isolated rat liver nuclei. Then nuclear matrix fraction, containing 30--35% of nDNA was extracted with 1.2 M NaCl. About 1% of nDNA war discovered in residual matrix. Specific activity of residual matrix labelled DNA within 1 and 3 min. after the injection of 14C-orotic acid into the liver portal vein (24 hours after hepatectomy) was respectively in 70 and 50 times higher, and that of matrix DNA--in 45 and 20 times as high as in fraction 1 DNA. Thus, replication begins from nuclear matrix DNA. The latter is enriched with unique sequences by 10%, as compared with total nDNA, and its reassociation kinetics does not change at different stages of the cell cycle (0 and 24 hours after partial hepatectomy). It is suggested, that DNA does not migrate with respect to nuclear matrix under replication.

Advanced microgrid optimization using price-elastic demand response and greedy rat swarm optimization for economic and environmental efficiency.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering and Diagnostics of Electrical Equipment, Institute of Electrodynamics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Beresteyskiy, 56, Kyiv-57, Kyiv, 03680, Ukraine.

In this paper, a comprehensive energy management framework for microgrids that incorporates price-based demand response programs (DRPs) and leverages an advanced optimization method-Greedy Rat Swarm Optimizer (GRSO) is proposed. The primary objective is to minimize the generation cost and environmental impact of microgrid systems by effectively scheduling distributed energy resources (DERs), including renewable energy sources (RES) such as solar and wind, alongside fossil-fuel-based generators. Four distinct demand response models-exponential, hyperbolic, logarithmic, and critical peak pricing (CPP)-are developed, each reflecting a different price elasticity of demand.

The development of optical sensors for label-free quantification of cell parameters has numerous uses in the biomedical arena. However, using current optical probes requires the laborious collection of sufficiently large datasets that can be used to calibrate optical probe signals to true metabolite concentrations. Further, most practitioners find it difficult to confidently adapt black box chemometric models that are difficult to troubleshoot in high-stakes applications such as biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

The Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex plays a crucial role in connecting the nuclear envelope to the cytoskeleton, providing structural support to the nucleus and facilitating mechanical signaling between the extracellular environment and the nucleus. Research in mechanobiology onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and in simulated microgravity (SMG) highlight the importance of gravity in functional mechanotransduction. Although the altered gravity research regarding mechanobiology has been greatly focused on the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix (ECM), recent research demonstrates that SMG also induces changes in nuclear mechanics and gene expression patterns, which have been shown to be LINC complex dependent.

Dual effect of targeting LSD1 on the invasiveness and the mechanical response of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.

Epigenetic alterations are hallmarks of cancer, with histone modifiers playing critical roles in gene transcription, DNA homeostasis, and other nuclear functions. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), a key regulator of H3K4 methylation, has emerged as a promising pharmacological target in cancer treatment, including leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common pediatric cancer, remains a significant therapeutic challenge due to limited understanding of how epigenetic therapy impacts leukemia dissemination.

The lung tumor microenvironment is composed of various cell types, including cancer cells, stromal and immune cells, as well as extracellular matrix (ECM). These cells and surrounding ECM create a stiff, hypoxic, acidic, and immunosuppressive microenvironment that can augment the resistance of lung tumors to different forms of cell death and facilitate invasion and metastasis. This environment can induce chemo/radiotherapy resistance by inducing anti-apoptosis mediators such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and nuclear factor of κB (NF-κB), leading to the exhaustion of antitumor immunity and further resistance to chemo/radiotherapy.
