Increased Disarray of Extracellular Matrix Collagen‐I Fiber Network and Compromised Biomechanics in Aortae From Marfan‐Syndrome Mice Assessed Through Combined Opto‐Biomechatronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combined structure‐function assessment in aortic rings from Marfan mice using MechaMorph Opto‐Biomechatronics technology relates increased elasticity (stiffness) and dynamic viscosity and less ordered extracellular matrix 3D‐structure (collagen) as potential causes for impaired Windkessel function and compromised haemodynamics in Marfan's syndrome ...

Highly‐Time‐Resolved Measurements of Tryptophan's Distribution and Homeostatic Regulation in Live, Intact Animals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a novel, aptamer‐based biosensor, here we have performed 20‐s‐resolved, in situ measurements of plasma‐free tryptophan in the jugular veins of live rats (blue). This unprecedented time‐resolution provides insights into the regulation of tryptophan metabolism in live, intact animals.

Antigen‐Detected NMR for Minimal Epitope Engineering and Structure‐Guided Selection of a NaV1.7‐Selective Nanobody

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimal extracellular epitope from voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.7 was engineered into an isotope‐labelled antigen for antigen‐detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Together with AlphaFold2 (AF2), this enabled structure‐guided selection of R4C8, a human NaV1.7‐selective nanobody that labels fixed NaV1.7‐expressing cells and produces staining

Artificial Intelligence for Benign Esophageal Stricture Dilation: An Evidence‐Transferability Framework and Safety‐First Roadmap

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic dilation is first‐line therapy for symptomatic benign esophageal strictures but remains operator‐dependent. Artificial intelligence (AI) could support assessment, risk stratification, and documentation; however, evidence from adjacent tasks is often mistaken for procedure‐specific validation.

Inborn errors in the metabolism of glutathione [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2007
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is present in millimolar concentrations in most mammalian cells and it is involved in several fundamental biological functions, including free radical scavenging, detoxification of xenobiotics and carcinogens, redox reactions, biosynthesis of DNA, proteins and ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
