📢 Check out the recent contribution on, Antigen density and applied force control enrichment of nanobody-expressing yeast cells in microfluidics Abstract: In vitro display technologies such as yeast display have been instrumental in developing the selection of new antibodies, antibody fragments or nanobodies that bind to a specific target, with affinity towards the target being the main factor that influences selection outcome. However, the roles of mechanical forces are being increasingly recognized as a crucial factor in the regulation and activation of effector cell function. It would thus be of interest to isolate binders behaving optimally under the influence of mechanical forces. We developed a microfluidic assay allowing the selection of yeast displaying nanobodies through antigen-specific immobilization on a surface under controlled hydrodynamic flow. This approach enabled enrichment of model yeast mixtures using tunable antigen density and applied force. This new force-based selection method opens the possibility of selecting binders by relying on both their affinity and force resistance, with implications for the design of more efficient immunotherapeutics.

https://lnkd.in/gayfw-jv Article title: Reviewing the Bio-Applications of SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ Phosphor Author(S): Maryam Mollazadeh-Bajestani, Amir Hossein Bahmanpour, Maryam Ghaffari, Fathollah Moztarzadeh, Azadeh Sepahvandi* and Korebami Adebajo Journal: Journal of Biology and Medicine Journal ISSN: 2688-8408 Abstract: Strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4) phosphor nanoparticles with Eu2+, and Dy3+ co-doping exhibit high brightness and long afterglow properties, storing light energy and glowing slowly under different conditions. It has been widely studied that SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ (SAO) phosphor nanoparticles with a green visible emission can penetrate deep into the tissue, show low self-fluorescence, cause minimal light damage, and are biocompatible. SAO phosphor nanoparticle synthesis and modification mechanisms are outlined in this review. Biological therapies, in addition to the detection of substances in organisms, are provided by these excellent priorities. Despite the existing research, it has been demonstrated that nanostructures of SAO luminescence particles have great potential to be applied to tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. The current scientific achievements can provide a reference for research in the areas mentioned above, as well as stimulate biomedical disciplines to pay attention to SAO luminescence nanoparticles. #Strontiumaluminate #Phosphornanoparticles #Persistentluminescence #Photodynamic #Bioimaging #Biosensors #Biochemistry #Biotechnology #Bioinformatics #Cardiology #CellBiology #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #FoodAndNutrition #FreeRadicalResearch #InfectiousAndCommunicableDiseases #Genetics #Gerontology #Microbiology #Hepatology #Gastroenterology #Toxicology #MedicinalChemistry #Nanotechnology #Oncology #Pharmacology #PlantBiology #Pathology #Physiology #RadiationBiology #Nephrology #StemCellResearch #VascularBiology

Our comprehensive, multi-omics definition of circulating extracellular vesicles in humans is on BioRxiv! This systematic construction reveals the universal protein and lipid componentry of circulating EVs in humans. We employed high-resolution, density-gradient separation of human plasma to isolate circulating EVs of high purity from over 110 human plasma samples, & systematically construct their high-confidence quantitative proteome (4500 proteins) and lipidome (829 lipids) landscapes. We provide for the first time a deep survey of hallmark molecular features (protein, surface & lipid specific markers) and biological pathways intrinsic to circulating EVs. In the fields of extracellular vesicles, plasma, multi-omics, #membrane biology, cell biology or cell signaling, we are sure this seminal study will interest you! - Circulating EV map (#cEVmap) on #shinyapp: https://lnkd.in/eqT9ns2U - bioRxiv: https://lnkd.in/eRunnBXC #proteomics #lipidomics #massspec #extracellularvesicles #plasma #science #molecularproteomics Alin Rai Kevin Huynh Lovelle Poh Haoyun Alexandra Fang Tom Marwick Jonathon Cross Bethany Claridge Peter Meikle

Migrasomes – Transient Organelles Raviv Dharan and Raya Sorkin wrote an interesting review about the biophysics of migrasomes, the recently discovered transient organelles that form as leftovers after cells migrate away from a spot. Filled with debris from the old cell, the migrasomes as garbage dumps of cells. But there seems to be so much more we do not yet know: - What are the migrasomes doing in the blood serum? - Why is SARS-CoV2 triggering platelets to release migrasomes? - Why do nanoparticles interfere with the uptake of migrasomes by surrounding cells? - Do migrasomes filled with mRNA and proteins act in long distance cellular communication? To me, it seems we should keep those migrasomes on the back of our minds. There might be quite some interest in future in nanomedicine. Happy to dig deeper for you if you ask me to :-) https://lnkd.in/epM-Sv2P

Congratulations to Lucia Bellanova for the Best Poster award at the XXVII Congresso Nazionale 2024 of the Italian Society for Pure and Applied Biophysics (SIBPA)! For more info about the work of Lucia and her team check https://lnkd.in/dtKxqkRS SENSING NITRIC OXIDE WITH A FLUORESCENT PROTEIN Real-time quantitative visualization of nitric oxide (NO) concentration at the single cell level is fundamental to achieve a direct and accurate determination of NO dynamics. To this aim, development of genetically encoded fluorescent sensors (GES) is of fundamental relevance. The field is still poorly explored and only a few GES have been so far developed and proposed for monitoring intracellular NO levels 1. The recent finding that the blue-emitting fluorescent protein mTagBFP2 is sensitive to NO in the micromolar range suggested new development strategies 2. Protein mutants and mass spectrometry demonstrated that S-nitrosylation of Cys residues is at the basis of the observed reduction in emission intensity and lifetime in response to NO exposure. The potential of this GES for monitoring intracellular NO was shown on HeLa cells transiently expressing mTagBFP2. In this work, we present a more accurate study on the dynamics of S-nitrosylation of Cys residues in mTagBFP2. S-nitrosylation of mTagBFP2 was induced by the NO donor MAHMA nonoate and the changes in fluorescence intensity and lifetime were monitored as a function of time. From the overall change, it was possible to obtain a better estimate of the Kd for the reaction. We have also explored the response of mTagBFP2 to the NO donors S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). Experiments on mTagBFP2 mutants containing a single Cys residue show that two of the three Cys residues in mTagBFP2 are responsible for the changes in fluorescence emission. Further experiments on bacterial and mammalian cells expressing mTagBFP2 and its mutants, are underway.
