Red-shifted luciferase-luciferin pairs for enhanced bioluminescence imaging

open access: yesNature Methods, 2017
Red-shifted bioluminescence reporters are desirable for biological imaging. We describe the development of red-shifted luciferins based on synthetic coelenterazine analogs and corresponding mutants of NanoLuc that enable bright bioluminescence.

Pseudo-Luciferase Activity of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein for Cypridina Luciferin

open access: yesACS Central Science
Enzymatic reactions that involve a luminescent substrate (luciferin) and enzyme (luciferase) from luminous organisms enable a luminescence detection of target proteins and cells with high specificity, albeit that conventional assay design requires a ...

Luminescence of Cypridina Luciferin in the Presence of Human Plasma Alpha 1-Acid Glycoprotein

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
The enzyme Cypridina luciferase (CLase) enables Cypridina luciferin to emit light efficiently through an oxidation reaction. The catalytic mechanism on the substrate of CLase has been studied, but the details remain to be clarified. Here, we examined the

Automatic instrument for chemical processing to detect microorganism in biological samples by measuring light reactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
An automated apparatus is reported for sequentially assaying urine samples for the presence of bacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that comprises a rotary table which carries a plurality of sample containing vials and automatically dispenses fluid ...

Orthogonal Bioluminescent Probes from Disubstituted Luciferins

open access: yesBiochemistry, 2021
Bioluminescence imaging with luciferase-luciferin pairs is routinely used to monitor cellular functions. Multiple targets can be visualized in tandem using luciferases that process unique substrates, but only a handful of such orthogonal probes are known. Multiplexed studies require additional robust, light-emitting molecules.

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

Successful delivery of viviparous lantern shark from an artificial uterus and the self-production of lantern shark luciferin.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Our recent success in the long-term maintenance of lantern shark embryos in artificial uterine systems has provided a novel option for the medical treatment of premature embryos for captive viviparous elasmobranchs.

Basement membrane-rich Organoids with functional human blood vessels are permissive niches for human breast cancer metastasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Metastasic breast cancer is the leading cause of death by malignancy in women worldwide. Tumor metastasis is a multistep process encompassing local invasion of cancer cells at primary tumor site, intravasation into the blood vessel, survival in systemic ...

Photo‐Controlled Antibacterial Drug Release From DASA‐Coated Silica Particles for Improved Treatment of Wound Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthesis and characterization of light‐responsive donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA)‐coated chlorhexidine‐loaded silica nanoparticles. Such a controllable drug‐delivery system enables the release of the antimicrobial drug on demand and in consecutive cycles, thereby maintaining the concentration within the therapeutic window.
