A new immunofluorescence determination of Parkinson's disease biomarkers using silver nanoparticles by Chao Qin, Jun Xia, Yong Wen, Jun Wang, Chen Zhong

“…In this study, we developed an immunofluorescence detection approach for α-synuclein (α-syn), a critical biomarker associated with PD, that is both extremely sensitive and specific. Using polyethylene glycol (PEG)-functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) and an Ag+ fluorescence probe (Ag+-FP) based on Rhodamine 6 G, the suggested method makes use of an immunofluorescence detection system. …”

Regulation of modular Cyclin and CDK feedback loops by an E2F transcriptionoscillator in the mammalian cell cycle by Orit Lavi, Doron Ginsberg, Yoram Louzoun

“…In contrast with existing models, the proposed formalism allows a straightforward analysis and understanding of the dynamics, neglecting the details of each interaction. This model is not sensitive to small changes in the parameters used and it reproduces the observed behavior of the transcription factor E2F and different Cyclins in continuous or regulated cycling conditions. …”

Comparison of Immunomodulation Properties of Porcine Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells Derived from the Bone Marrow, Adipose Tissue, and Dermal Skin Tissue by Sun-A Ock, Raghavendra Baregundi Subbarao, Yeon-Mi Lee, Jeong-Hyeon Lee, Ryoung-Hoon Jeon, Sung-Lim Lee, Ji Kwon Park, Sun-Chul Hwang, Gyu-Jin Rho

“…However, skin-derived MSCs expressed both IFNγ and IL10, which may render them sensitive to immunomodulation. The xenogeneic human MLR test revealed that MSCs had a partial immunomodulation capacity, as proliferation of activated and resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells was not affected, but this did not differ among MSC sources. …”

Process, dynamics and bioeffects of acoustic droplet vaporization induced by dual-frequency focused ultrasound by Yubo Zhao, Yi Feng, Liang Wu

“…Our research also revealed that the mechanical and thermal effects could be regulated independently to some extent by adjusting dual-frequency ultrasound parameters, as they presented differing sensitivities to frequency and acoustic power. Importantly, dual-frequency combinations such as 1.5 MHz + 3 MHz (fundamental and second harmonic), which exhibit a higher Degree of Nonlinearity (DoN) can extend bubble lifespan, offering a potential pathway to the efficacy of ultrasound treatments.…”
