Forces exerted by cells due to their internal contractility play fundamental roles in a host of processes, including adhesion, migration, survival and differentiation. Traction force microscopy (TFM) enables the determination of forces exerted by cel...

Water potential is an important indicator used to study water relations in plants, as it reflects the level of hydration in their tissues. There are different numerical variables that describe plant properties and can be acquired from leaf reflectanc...
A rapid, colorimetric sensor for histamine detection is presented using citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles enhanced with Cu2+ coordination. The sensing mechanism involves dual recognition: protonated histamine first adsorbs electrostatically onto...
A topological analysis was performed by taking ESEEM measurements of site-specifically labeled E protein from SARS-CoV-2. The intensity of deuterium modulation arising from either deuterated solvent or deuterated lipid acyl chains revealed exposure t...
Protein droplets exhibit complex self-assembly and deposition behaviors driven by evaporation, which has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Under evaporation, limited volume and locally concentrated protein solutions can undergo liquid&n...
We present a proof-of-concept study using a laser trapping (LT) approach to characterize hemoglobin variants through controlled dielectric breakdown of red blood cell membranes. Using a 1064 nm infrared laser, we analyzed 62 cells from each of four h...
The combination of antimicrobial agents with different mechanisms of action is an important step in the fight against drug-resistant microorganisms. In this study, the interaction of the lysozyme enzyme with ampicillin and colistin was investigated....
Early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is critical for patient outcomes yet presents a significant clinical challenge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of four machine learning models—Logistic Regression, Random Fo...
Fluorescent proteins find application as biocompatible, genetically encoded labels for visualization of living organisms tissues. Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) are the most diverse, but proteins with red fluorescence have advantages, such as lowe...
Alzheimer’s disease is driven by multiple molecular drivers, including the pathological behavior of two intrinsically disordered proteins, amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, whose aggregation is regulated by sequence-encoded ensembles and liquid...
