The specific oxygen uptake rates (OUR) of kappa-carrageenan-immobilised and free cell cultures of Penicillium chrysogenum were determined using an oxygen electrode in a closed chamber. This was compared with the respiratory activity determined by the extent of staining with iodo-nitrophenyl tetrazolium chloride (INT). The degree of INT staining correlated with the OUR; an increase in INT deposition corresponding to an increase in the measured OUR. The INT staining technique could therefore be used to determine cell respiratory activity. In this way a profile of fungal cell activity throughout immobilised cell aggregates and free cell pellets was determined. In both types of cell culture, after the initial growth period only the peripheral biomass was observed to be active.

Undocking of an extensive ciliary network induces proteostasis and cell fate switching resulting in severe primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Article Synopsis
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder linked to chronic respiratory issues, infertility, and problems with body asymmetry, primarily caused by mutations in the CCDC39 and CCDC40 genes.
- Researchers used advanced techniques to investigate how these genetic variants impact cellular functions beyond just causing cilia to stop moving.
- They discovered that the absence of CCDC39/CCDC40 creates a significant loss of over 90 ciliary structural proteins, leading to cilia dysfunction and other cellular issues, suggesting that gene therapy could potentially offer a new treatment strategy for PCD.
Prior vaccination prevents overactivation of innate immune responses during COVID-19 breakthrough infection.

At this stage in the COVID-19 pandemic, most infections are "breakthrough" infections that occur in individuals with prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposure. To refine long-term vaccine strategies against emerging variants, we examined both innate and adaptive immunity in breakthrough infections. We performed single-cell transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional profiling of primary and breakthrough infections to compare immune responses from unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals during the SARS-CoV-2 Delta wave.

ClpXP is a two-component mitochondrial matrix protease. The caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit X (ClpX) recognizes and translocates protein substrates into the degradation chamber of the caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) for proteolysis. ClpXP degrades damaged respiratory chain proteins and is necessary for cancer cell survival.

Background And Aims: Predicting progression and prognosis in Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD), especially Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF), remains a challenge. Integrating patient-centered measurements is essential for earlier and safer detection of disease progression. Home monitoring through e-health technologies, such as spirometry and oximetry connected to smartphone applications, holds promise for early detection of ILD progression or acute exacerbations, enabling timely therapeutic interventions.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effective warm-up protocol using an added respiratory dead space (ARDS) 1200 ml volume mask to determine hypercapnic conditions, on the swimming velocity of the 50 m time trial front crawl. Eight male members of the university swimming team, aged 19-25, performed three different warm-up protocols: 1) standardized warm-up in water (WUCON); 2) hypercapnic warm-up in water (WUARDS); 3) hypercapnic a 20-minute transition phase on land, between warm-up in water and swimming test (RE-WUARDS). The three warm-up protocols were implemented in random order every 7th day.
