Fiber optic probe-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection has been used in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry for the rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of biomolecules. SPR was used to monitor the covalent immobilization of a polyclonal antibody to the surface of a fiber optic probe. The derivatized probe was then used for the selective detection (from solution) of the corresponding antigen and a secondary antibody directed toward the antigen. Species retained during the SPR detection process were next analyzed by direct MALDI-TOF analysis of the probe surface (after exposed to the MALDI matrix and introduction into the mass spectrometer). The combined approach allowed for the two-dimensional detection of biomolecules, with SPR analysis yielding quantitative information pertinent to the binding events and MALDI-TOF providing details on the qualitative nature of the binding partners.

Microvirin is a lectin molecule known to have monovalent interaction with glycoprotein gp120. A previously reported high-resolution structural analysis defines the mannobiose-binding cavity of Microvirin. Nonetheless, structure does not directly define the energetics of binding contributions of protein contact residues.

Refractive index (RI) and temperature (T) are both critical environmental parameters for environmental monitoring, food production, and medical testing. The paper develops a D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor to measure RI and T simultaneously. Its cross-sectional structure encompasses a hexagonal-hole lattice, with one hole selectively filled with toluene for temperature sensing.

The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of nintedanib (BIBF) on glioblastoma (GBM) cells and its mechanism of action and to optimize a drug delivery strategy to overcome the limitations posed by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We analyzed the inhibition of GBM cell lines following BIBF treatment and explored its effect on the autophagy pathway. The cytotoxicity of BIBF was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, and further techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, Western blotting (WB), and flow cytometry were employed to demonstrate that BIBF could block the autophagic pathway by inhibiting the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, ultimately limiting the proliferation of GBM cells.

Inspired by metasurfaces' control over light fields, this study created a liquid microlens coated with a layer of Au@TiO, Core-Shell nanospheres. Utilizing the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Au@TiO, Core-Shell nanospheres, and the formation of photonic nanojets (PNJs), this study aimed to extend the imaging system's cutoff frequency, improve microlens focusing, enhance the capture capability of evanescent waves, and utilize nanospheres to improve the conversion of evanescent waves into propagating waves, thus boosting the liquid microlens's super-resolution capabilities. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method analyzed the impact of parameters including nanosphere size, microlens sample contact width, and droplet's initial contact angle on super-resolution imaging.

Geniposidic 4-isoamyl ester (GENI) with anti-aging effects is a new iridoid glycoside derivative from Ellis found in our previous study. In this study, to indicate whether this compound has anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) effect, the galactose-induced AD mice and naturally aging mice with AD were used to do drug efficacy evaluation. Furthermore, the Western blot, small interfering RNA (siRNA), drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS), cellular thermal shift assay (CESTA), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS), adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) mutants and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis were utilized to clarify the mechanism of action and identify target protein of this molecule.
