Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Serological Evidence of Natural Exposure to Tick-Borne Pathogens in Horses, Romania

Microorganisms, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of selected tick-borne-pathogens (TBPs) among Romanian horses. For this, a total of 223 animals originating from north, central, and southeast Romania, including horses from stud farms (n ...

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

Comparative genomics of Giardia duodenalis sub-assemblage AI beaver (Be-2) and human (WB-C6) strains show remarkable homozygosity, sequence similarity, and conservation of VSP genes

Scientific Reports
Giardia duodenalis, a major cause of waterborne infection, infects a wide range of mammalian hosts and is subdivided into eight genetically well-defined assemblages named A through H.

Molecular characterization of cDNA coding for 33.5 and 41 kDa oocyst and sporocyst proteins that are differentially regulated in different strains of Eimeria maxima

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Eimeria maxima (APU1 and APU2) differ in virulence for chickens, due in part to the greater fecundity of the former. In a previous study, RNA-seq was used to identify a transcripts upregulated in E. maxima APU1 compared to E. maxima APU2.

Development of Onchocerca volvulus in humanized NSG mice and detection of parasite biomarkers in urine and serum. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: The study of Onchocerca volvulus has been limited by its host range, with only humans and non-human primates shown to be susceptible to the full life cycle infection.

Electrochemically Engineered PEDOT:PSS/MXene Composite Electrode for the Label‐Free Procalcitonin Detection

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Procalcitonin is a key biomarker for bacterial infections, but conventional detection methods are often time‐consuming. Here, we present an electrochemical sensor based on highly conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene combined with PEDOT:PSS, enabling direct antibody immobilization, while a bovine serum albumin coating provides antifouling protection.

Altered structural and transporter-related gene expression patterns in the placenta play a role in fetal demise during Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection

BMC Genomics
Background Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) can be transmitted across the maternal-fetal-interface from an infected gilt to her fetuses.
