The receptor of low density lipoproteins (LDL-receptor) from bovine adrenal cortex membranes was immobilized in standard 96-well polystyrene plates using monoclonal V5-antibodies to the LDL-receptor. The binding of the immobilized LDL-receptor with human low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) was determined using peroxidase-labelled antibodies to human apoB. The value of Kd for the interaction of LDL with the immobilized LDL-receptor for 40 samples of LDL was found to be from 5 to 20 micrograms apoB per ml. The immobilized LDL-receptor failed to bind LDL modified by acetylation or malonic dialdehyde, while the binding of non-modified LDL to the immobilized LDL-receptor was inhibited in the presence of EDTA, which is known to be specific for the interaction of LDL with the LDL-receptor. Unlike LDL, VLDL were more variable in the binding to the LDL-receptor. The value of Kd for the interaction of VLDL with the LDL-receptor for 40 samples of VLDL was found to be from 0.5 to 10 micrograms apoB per ml. Thus, the described method is suggested to study the interaction of apoB-containing lipoproteins with the LDL-receptor.

The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is a wide-ranging, long-living freshwater species with low reproductive success, mainly due to high predation pressure. We studied how habitat variables and predator communities in near-natural marshes affect the survival of turtle eggs and hatchlings. We followed the survival of artificial turtle nests placed in marshes along Lake Balaton (Hungary) in May and June as well as hatchlings (dummies) exposed in September.

While bacille-calmette-guerin (BCG) vaccination is one of the recommended strategies for preventing tuberculosis (TB), its coverage is low in several countries, including Ethiopia. This study investigated the spatial co-distribution and drivers of TB prevalence and low BCG coverage in Ethiopia. This ecological study was conducted using data from a national TB prevalence survey and the Ethiopian demographic and health survey (EDHS) to map the spatial co-distribution of BCG vaccination coverage and TB prevalence.

The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been consistently linked with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies focusing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or experiencing bleeding events. The study encompassed 17,643 ACS participants who underwent PCI.

Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) are a critical technology for efficient hydrogen production to decarbonize fuels and industrial feedstocks. To make hydrogen cost-effective, the overpotentials across the cell need to be decreased and platinum-group metal loading reduced. One overpotential that needs to be better understood is due to mass transport limitations from bubble formation within the porous transport layer (PTL) and anode catalyst layer (ACL), which can lead to a reduction in performance at typical operating current densities.

The feasibility of carbon mineralization relies on the carbonation efficiency of CO-reactive minerals, which is largely governed by the water content and state within material mesopores. Yet, the pivotal role of confined water in regulating carbonation efficiency at the nanoscale is not well understood. Here, we show that the maximum CO intake occurs at an optimal relative humidity (RH) when capillary condensation initiates within the hydrophilic mesopores.
