The in situ surface activation of unmodified CaCO(3) nanoparticles by interaction with surfactant aqueous media has been studied, and the impact this on foamability foam stability dispersions was assessed. Using complementary experiments including measurement particle zeta potentials, adsorption isotherms surfactant, air-water tensions, relevant contact angles, mechanism revealed. results show that non-surface-active cannot be activated cationic or nonionic surfactants but can anionic such...

Abstract Inhibition of VEGF signalling effectively suppresses localized tumour growth but accelerates invasiveness and micrometastasis by unknown mechanisms. To study the dynamic reciprocal interactions between cells their microenvironment during these processes, we established a xenograft model injecting into blood circulation transparent zebrafish embryos. This reproducibly results in rapid simultaneous formation experimental micrometastasis, allowing time‐resolved imaging both processes...

Abstract The recruitment of leukocytes to infectious foci depends strongly on the local release chemoattractant mediators. human CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) is an important node in signaling network and expressed by multiple leukocyte lineages, including T cells macrophages. ligands this originate from ancestral CXCL11 gene early vertebrates. Here, we used optically accessible zebrafish embryo model explore function CXCR3-CXCL11 axis macrophage show that disruption increases resistance...

A photodegradable, covalently crosslinked hydrogel system has been constructed from the biocompatible polymers dextran and poly(ethylene glycol) using acrylate–thiol Michael addition as crosslinking method. Light sensitivity of was introduced by placing a non-toxic photolabile o-nitrobenzyl moiety in between backbone acrylate group. Hydrogels were prepared under physiological conditions without need any additional reagents mixing solutions functionalized with acrylate-modified moieties...

Detection of cellular senescence is important not only in the study various biological systems, but also practical applications such as image-guided surgical removal senescent cells, well monitoring drug-responsiveness during cancer therapies. Due to lack suitable imaging probes for detection, particularly living subjects, we have developed an activatable near-infrared (NIR) molecular probe with far-red excitation, NIR emission, and high "turn-on" ratio upon senescence-associated...

Abstract The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family is known to play critical roles in cancer progression. While the dual role of TGF-β well described, function bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) unclear. In this study, we established involvement Smad6, a BMP-specific inhibitory Smad, breast cell invasion. We show that stable overexpression Smad6 MCF10A M2 cells inhibits BMP signalling, thereby mitigating BMP6-induced suppression mesenchymal marker expression. Using zebrafish xenograft...

In many cases, cancer patients do not die of a primary tumor, but rather because metastasis. Although numerous rodent models are available for studying metastasis in vivo, other efficient, reliable, low-cost needed to quickly access the potential effects (epi)genetic changes or pharmacological compounds. As such, we illustrate and explain feasibility xenograft using human breast cells injected into zebrafish embryos support this goal. Under microscope, fluorescent proteins chemically labeled...

Abstract Introduction: The second-generation BTK inhibitors (BTKis), e.g., zanu, acalabrutinib (acala), have further transformed the therapy landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, acquired mutations in (mainly at position C481) results covalent BTKi resistance and disease progression. Non-covalent pirtobrutinib (pirto) can overcome C481 mutations, but is susceptible to other like recently described kinase impaired V416L L528W which both maintain downstream signaling....
