A protamine-conjugated gold decorated graphene oxide composite as an electroc...Arun kumar
In this study, an effective electrochemical sensor was developed for heparin detection using a protamineconjugated
graphene oxide/gold (GO/Au) composite. Protamine is an antidote that can act as an affinity ligand
for heparin. The GO was used as support for signal amplification, and Au nanoparticles (NPs) were employed
to immobilize the protamine. This Au NPs also increasing the electron transfer rate and enhancing the signal response
during protamine-heparin integration. The proposed affinity sensor had a simple fabrication process, a
low detection limit (0.9 nM), a wide linear range (1.9 × 10−7 M to 1.5 × 10−9 M), high stability, and high selectivity
in the detection of heparin.
What is Electrophoresis?
Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field.
This electrokinetic phenomenon was first observed in 1807 by Russian professors Peter Ivanovich Strakhov and Ferdinand Frederic Reuss (Moscow State University), who noticed that the application of a constant electric field caused clay particles dispersed in water to migrate.
Electrophoresis of positively charged particles (cations) is called cataphoresis while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles (anions) is called anaphoresis.
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge. lectrophoresis is based on the phenomenon that most biomolecules exist as electrically-charged particles, possessing ionizable functional groups. Gel electrophoresis is widely used in the molecular biology and biochemistry labs in areas such as forensic science, conservational biology, and medicine.
Hotspot mutation and fusion transcript detection from the same non-small cell...Thermo Fisher Scientific
The presence of certain chromosomal Header
rearrangements and the subsequent fusion
gene derived from translocations has been
implicated in a number of cancers. Hundreds of
translocations have been described in the
literature recently but the need to efficiently
detect and further characterize these
chromosomal translocations is growing
exponentially. The two main methods to identify
and monitor translocations, fluorescent in situ
hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic
hybridization (CGH) are challenging, labor
intensive, the information obtained is limited,
and sensitivity is rather low. Common sample
types for these analyses are biopsies or small
tumors, which are very limited in material
making the downstream measurement of more
than one analyte rather difficult; obtaining
another biopsy, using a different section or
splitting the sample can raise issues of tumor
heterogeneity. The ability to study mutation
status as well as measuring fusion transcript
expression from the same sample is powerful
because you’re maximizing the information
obtained from a single precious sample and
eliminating any sample to sample variation.
Here we describe the efficient isolation of two
valuable analytes, RNA and DNA, from the
same starting sample without splitting, followed
by versatile and informative downstream
analysis. This methodology has been applied to
FFPE and degraded samples as well as fresh
tissues, cells and blood. DNA and RNA were
recovered from the same non-small cell lung
adenocarcinoma sample and both mutation
analysis, as well as fusion transcript detection
was performed using the Ion Torrent PGM™
platform on the same Ion 318™ chip. Using
10ng of DNA and 10ng of RNA input, we
applied the Ion AmpliSeq™ Colon and Lung
Cancer panel to analyze over 500 COSMIC
mutations in 22 genes and the Ion AmpliSeq™
RNA Lung Fusion panel to detect 40 different
fusion transcripts.
Effective in vitro gene delivery to murine cancerous brain cells using carbon...Nanomedicine Journal (NMJ)
Abstract
Objective(s):
Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been widely applied at molecular and cellular levels due to its exceptional properties. Studies based on conjugation of CNTs with biological molecules indicated that biological activity is preserved. Polyethylenimine (PEI) is explored in designing novel gene delivery vectors due to its ability to condense plasmid DNA through electrostatic attraction. In this study functionalization and grafting polyethylenimine onto the surface of carbon nanotube was used to improve the solubility and biocompatibility.
Materials and Methods:
The effect of molecular weight of polymer on final efficacy of vectors has been investigated using three different molecular weights of polymer. In this study no linker was used and both segments (PEI and CNT) were directly attached resulted in the synthesis of three different vectors. Synthesized vectors were tested for their ability to condense plasmid DNA and cellular toxicity using ethidium bromide and MTT assays. Size and Zeta potential of nanoparticles was determined using Malvern zeta sizer. Evaluation of transfection efficiency of vectors was carried out on N2A cell line by different methods including qualitative fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry and luciferase assay.
Results:
All three synthesized vectors bear positive surface charges with sizes in the range of 85-190 nm. More than 80 percent of treated cells were viable and in the case of V25 significant improvement in reducing cytotoxicity compared to unmodified polymer was observed. Obtained results indicated that vector containing PEI 1.8 kDa has the greatest improvement in terms of its transfection efficiency compared to unmodified polymer.
Conclusion:
Conjugation of PEI with carbon nanotube les to new vectors with lowered cytotoxicity and higher transfection efficiency. The highest transfection efficiency was obtained with the lowest molecular weight PEI.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

2. Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane enclosed vesicles involved in cell
communication, which have important biological implications. In this study,
EV preparations were enriched for exosomes from human serum by
polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation. In addition, a novel capillary
electrophoresis-ultraviolet diode array (CE-UV-DAD) method was developed
to obtain characteristic multiwavelength electrophoretic profiles of the EV
preparations. Under these optimized conditions, a characteristic
electrophoretic multiwavelength profile of the EV preparation and a standard
of exosomes was obtained, and separation showed excellent reproducibility
and appropriate analysis times. The obtained electrophoretic fingerprints are a
simple, effective and complementary tool for the quality control of EV
preparations.

was analyzed to confirm the EOF migration time. Blank samples were 10% m/v PEG in PBS. The marked
central band was integrated for migration time and peak area repeatability calculations.

21.5, 46.5, 14.5 and 3.0 mAU for I, II, III and the exosomes. The quality of the normalized UV spectrum for the exosomes
was poor over 250 nm due to the very low absorbance of the raw data).
