The oxidation of the fluorescent dye 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) by horseradish peroxidase was investigated optical absorption, electron spin resonance (ESR), and oxygen consumption measurements. Spectrophotometric measurements showed that DCF could be oxidized either peroxidase-compound I or -compound II with obligate generation phenoxyl radical (DCF⋅). This one-electron confirmed ESR spin-trapping experiments. DCF⋅ oxidizes GSH, generating glutathione thiyl (GS⋅), which detected...
A stringent control of homeostasis is critical for functional maintenance and survival neurons. In the mammalian retina, basic motif leucine zipper transcription factor NRL determines rod versus cone photoreceptor cell fate activates expression many rod-specific genes. Here, we report an integrated analysis NRL-centered gene regulatory network by coupling chromatin immunoprecipitation followed high-throughput sequencing (ChIP–Seq) data from Illumina ABI platforms with global profiling in...
Intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates alveolar macrophages and infiltration neutrophils, causing lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. Free radicals are a special focus as the final causative molecules in pathogenesis injury caused by LPS. Although vitro investigation has demonstrated radical generation after exposure cells to LPS, vivo evidence is lacking. Using electron spin resonance (ESR) trap alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (POBN), we...
A large superfamily of transmembrane receptors control cellular responses to diverse extracellular signals by catalyzing activation specific types heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins. How these recognize and promote nucleotide exchange on G protein α subunits initiate signal amplification is unknown. The three-dimensional structure the transducin (Gt) subunit C-terminal undecapeptide Gtα(340–350) IKENLKDCGLF was determined transferred nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy while it bound...
Many studies have compared the genetic and epigenetic profiles of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to embryonic (hESCs) yet picture remains unclear. To address this, we derived a population neural precursor (NPCs) from H1 (WA01) hESC line generated isogenic iPSC lines by reprogramming. The gene expression methylation profile three were parental intermediate NPC population. We found no probe with that differed significantly between samples under undifferentiated or differentiated...
Abstract Automated coronary angiography assessment requires precise vessel segmentation, a task complicated by uneven contrast filling and background noise. Our research introduces an ensemble U-Net model, SE-RegUNet, designed to accurately segment vessels using 100 labeled angiographies from angiographic images. SE-RegUNet incorporates RegNet encoders squeeze-and-excitation blocks enhance feature extraction. A dual-phase image preprocessing strategy further improves the model's performance,...

Acquisition of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance by many clinically important bacteria can be traced to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between related or evolutionarily distant microflora. Comparative genomic analysis has become an tool for identifying HGT DNA in emerging pathogens.

ABSTRACT One of the most important properties human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is related to their primed and naïve pluripotent states. Our previous meta-analysis indicates existence heterogeneous states derived from diverse protocols. In this study, we have characterized a commercial medium (RSeT)-based state under various growth conditions. Notably, RSeT hESCs can circumvent hypoxic conditions as required by hESCs, in which some (e.g., H1 cells) exhibit much lower single cell plating...
