Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
As with every sensitive analysis technology, the golden principle of "input quality rules output quality" also applies to single cell sequencing methods. Given the sensitivity of the current methods in single cell sequencing and the minuscule amounts of RNA present within a single cell, any extrinsic source of variability should be reduced by ensur...

A simple, affordable point of care test (POCT) is necessary for on-site detection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The lateral flow assay (LFA) has great potential for use in POCT mainly because of factors such as low time consumption, low cost, and ease of use. However, it lacks sensitivity and limits of detection (LOD), which are essential...

Microplastics (MPs) have aroused tremendous attentions because of their ability in accumulating contaminants from adjacent environment. However, their capability of concentrating hydrophobic organic contaminants might be influenced by huge amounts of coexisting natural particles (NaPs). Yet, our knowledge about the relative concentrating capability...

Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications. However, the characterizations of glycopeptides, especially the negatively charged sialoglycopeptides that are associated with various diseases, remain challenging, due to the co-existence with high abundant peptides and the low ionization efficiency of sialoglycopeptides ...

For improving human health, reformulation can be a tool as it allows individuals to consume products of choice while reducing intake of less desirable nutrients, such as sugars and fats, and potentially increasing intake of beneficial nutrients such as fibre. The potential effects of reformulating foods with increased fibre on diet and health need ...

Inflammation plays a known role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the United States and a condition that disproportionately affects Blacks. Although social stressors are frequently studied, the role of positive experiences in inflammation and its potential for CVD remains understudied. To address this...

Animal cognition
Environmental condition, such as environmental complexity or stocking density, can directly or indirectly influence animal emotion and ultimately, affective state. Affective states of animals can be assessed through judgement bias tests, evaluating responses to ambiguous situations. In this study, we aimed to determine whether environmental complex...

The study aimed to understand the metal enrichment and toxicity in lower and middle regions of a tropical Mandovi Estuary, revealed metals dilution by coarser intertidal mudflat sediments in the lower estuary (downstream of the fishing jetty-core S). A relatively calm depositional environment prevailed at the middle estuary (core M) and also at the...

It has been known for centuries that cats respond euphorically to Nepeta cataria (catnip). Recently, we have shown that Lonicera tatarica (Tatarian honeysuckle), Actinidia polygama (silver vine), and Valeriana officinalis (valerian) can also elicit this "catnip response". The aim of this study was to learn if the behavior seen in response to these ...

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Seawater, sediments, and three genera of wild scleractinian corals were collected from four coral reef areas nearshore Liuqiu Island, southwestern Taiwan. Abundance, characteristics (sizes, colors, shapes, and polymer types), and enrichment of microplastics (MPs) in the corals, and their impacts on coral cover were determined. The average MPs abund...
