Achieving high cell transfection efficiency is essential for various cell
types in numerous disease applications. However, the efficient
introduction of genes into natural killer (NK) cells remains a challenge.
In this study, we proposed a design strategy for delivering exogenous
genes into the NK cell line, NK-92, using a modified non-viral gene
transfection method. Calcium phosphate/DNA nanoparticles (pDNA-CaP NPs)
were prepared using co-precipitation methods and combined with low-voltage
pulse electroporation to facilitate NK-92 transfection. The results
demonstrated that the developed pDNA-CaP NPs exhibited a uniform diameter
of approximately 393.9 nm, a DNA entrapment efficiency of 65.8%, and a
loading capacity of 15.9%. Furthermore, at three days post-transfection,
both the transfection efficiency and cell viability of NK-92 were
significantly improved compared to standalone plasmid DNA (pDNA)
electroporation or solely relying on the endocytosis pathway of pDNA-CaP
NPs. This study provides valuable insights into a novel approach that
combines calcium phosphate nanoparticles with low-voltage electroporation
for gene delivery into NK-92 cells, offering potential advancements in
cell therapy.

Spinally projecting serotonergic neurons play a key role in controlling
pain sensitivity and can either increase or decrease nociception depending
on physiological context. It is currently unknown how serotonergic neurons
mediate these opposing effects. Utilizing virus-based strategies and
Tph2-Cre transgenic mice, we identified two anatomically separated
populations of serotonergic hindbrain neurons located in the lateral
paragigantocellularis (LPGi) and the medial hindbrain, which respectively
innervate the superficial and deep spinal dorsal horn and have contrasting
effects on sensory perception. Our tracing experiments revealed that
serotonergic neurons of the LPGi were much more susceptible to
transduction with spinally injected AAV2retro vectors than medial
hindbrain serotonergic neurons. Taking advantage of this difference, we
employed intersectional chemogenetic approaches to demonstrate that
activation of the LPGi serotonergic projections decreases thermal
sensitivity, whereas activation of medial serotonergic neurons increases
sensitivity to mechanical von Frey stimulation. Together these results
suggest that there are functionally distinct classes of serotonergic
hindbrain neurons that differ in their anatomical location in the
hindbrain, their postsynaptic targets in the spinal cord, and their impact
on nociceptive sensitivity. The LPGi neurons that give rise to rather
global and bilateral projections throughout the rostrocaudal extent of the
spinal cord appear to be ideally poised to contribute to widespread
systemic pain control.

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the asymmetric cell division (ACD) of the zygote
gives rise to the embryo proper and an extraembryonic suspensor,
respectively. This process is controlled by the ERECTA-YODA-MPK3/6
receptor kinase-MAP kinase-signaling pathway, which also orchestrates ACDs
in the epidermis. In this context, the bHLH transcription factor ICE1/SCRM
is negatively controlled by MPK3/6-directed phosphorylation. However, it
is unknown whether this regulatory module is similarly involved in the
zygotic ACD. We investigated the function of SCRM in zygote polarization
by analyzing the effect of loss-of-function alleles and variants that
cannot be phosphorylated by MPK3/6, protein accumulation, and target gene
expression. Our results show that SCRM has a critical function in zygote
polarization and acts in parallel with the known MPK3/6 target WRKY2 in
activating WOX8. Our work further demonstrates that SCRM activity in the
early embryo is positively controlled by MPK3/6-mediated phosphorylation.
Therefore, the effect of MAP kinase-directed phosphorylation of the same
target protein fundamentally differs between the embryo and the epidermis,
shedding light on cell type-specific, differential gene regulation by
common signaling pathways.

The identity and source of flexible, semi-transparent, vascular-like
components recovered from non-avian dinosaur bone are debated, because:
(1) such preservation is not predicted by degradation models; (2)
taphonomic mechanisms for this type of preservation are not well defined;
and (3) although support for molecular endogeneity has been demonstrated
in select specimens, comparable data are lacking on a broader scale. Here,
we use a suite of micromorphological and molecular techniques to examine
vessel-like material recovered from the skeletal remains of six non-avian
dinosaurs, representing different taxa, depositional environments and
geological ages, and we compare the data obtained from our analyses
against vessels liberated from extant ostrich bone. The results of this
in-depth, multi-faceted study present strong support for endogeneity of
the fossil-derived vessels, although we also detect evidence of invasive
microorganisms.

We previously demonstrated that neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) were
induced within and around the ischemic areas in a mouse model of ischemic
stroke. These injury/ischemia-induced NSPCs (iNSPCs) differentiated to
electrophysiologically functional neurons in vitro, indicating the
presence of a self-repair system following injury. However, during the
healing process after stroke, ischemic areas were gradually occupied by
inflammatory cells, mainly microglial cells/macrophages (MGs/MΦs), and
neurogenesis rarely occurred within and around the ischemic areas.
Therefore, to achieve neural regeneration by utilizing endogenous iNSPCs,
regulation of MGs/MΦs after an ischemic stroke might be necessary. To test
this hypothesis, we used iNSPCs isolated from the ischemic areas after a
stroke in our mouse model to investigate the role of MGs/MΦs in iNSPC
regulation. In coculture experiments, we show that the presence of MGs/MΦs
significantly reduces not only the proliferation but also the
differentiation of iNSPCs toward neuronal cells, thereby preventing
neurogenesis. These effects, however, are mitigated by MG/MΦ depletion
using clodronate encapsulated in liposomes. Additionally, gene ontology
analysis reveals that proliferation and neuronal differentiation are
negatively regulated in iNSPCs cocultured with MGs/MΦs. These results
indicate that MGs/MΦs negatively impact neurogenesis via iNSPCs,
suggesting that the regulation of MGs/MΦs is essential to achieve
iNSPC-based neural regeneration following an ischemic stroke.

anchor positive Nutrition and resilience are linked, though it is not yet clear how diet confers stress resistance or the breadth of stressors that it can protect against. We have previously shown that transiently restricting an essential amino acid can protect Drosophila melanogaster against nicotine poisoning. Here, we sought to characterize the nature of this dietary-mediated protection and determine whether it was sex, amino acid and/or nicotine specific. When we compared between sexes, we found that isoleucine deprivation increases female, but not male, nicotine resistance. Surprisingly, we found that this protection afforded to females was not replicated by dietary protein restriction and was instead specific to individual amino acid restriction. To understand whether these beneficial effects of diet were specific to nicotine or were generalizable across stressors, we pre-treated flies with amino acid restriction diets and exposed them to other types of stress. We found that some of the diets th...

The controlled supply of bioactive molecules is a subject of debate in animal nutrition. The release of bioactive molecules in the target organ, in this case the intestine, results in improved feed, as well as having a lower environmental impact. However, the degradation of bioactive molecules' in transit in the gastrointestinal passage is still an unresolved issue. This paper discusses the feasibility of a simple and cost-effective procedure to bypass the degradation problem. A solid/liquid adsorption procedure was applied, and the operating parameters (pH, reaction time, and LY initial concentration) were studied. Lysozyme is used in this work as a representative bioactive molecule, while Adsorbo ® , a commercial mixture of clay minerals and zeolites which meets current feed regulations, is used as the carrier. A maximum LY loading of 32 mg LY /g AD (LY(32)-AD) was obtained, with fixing pH in the range 7.5-8, initial LY content at 37.5 mg LY /g AD , and reaction time at 30 min. A ful...

Amorphous potassium sodium niobate (KNN) films were synthesized at 300 °C through the radio frequency magnetron sputtering method and subsequently crystallized by post-annealing at 700 °C in various alkali element atmospheres (Na and K). The as-deposited film is notably deficient in alkali metal elements, particularly K, whereas the loss of alkali elements in the films can be replenished through annealing in an alkali element atmosphere. By adjusting the molar ratio of Na and K in the annealing atmosphere, the ratio of Na/K in the resultant film varied, consequently suggesting the efficiency of this method on composition regulation of KNN films. Meanwhile, we also found that the physical characteristics of the films also underwent differences with the change of an annealing atmosphere. The films annealed in a high Na atmosphere exhibit large dielectric losses with limited piezoelectric vibration behavior, while annealing in a high K atmosphere reduces the dielectric losses and enhances...
