Time resolved measurement of film growth during reactive high power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) of titanium nitride [PDF]
The growth rate during reactive high power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) of titanium nitride is measured with a temporal resolution of up to 25 us using a rotating shutter concept. According to that concept a 200 um slit is rotated in front of the

Bioimaging Probes for Reactive Oxygen Species and Reactive Nitrogen Species
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in many pathogenic processes, including carcinogenesis, inflammation, ischemia-reperfusion injury and signal transduction. Also, reactive nitrogen species (RNS) cause various biological events such as neurodegenerative disorders.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Antioxidants and skeletal muscle performance: ’Common knowledge’ vs. experimental evidence.
Antioxidants are assumed to provide numerous benefits, including better health, a reduced rate of aging, and improved exercise performance. Specifically, antioxidants are commonly ‘prescribed’ by the media, supplement industry, and ‘fitness experts’ for

Trace chemical measurements from the northern midlatitude lowermost stratosphere in early spring: Distributions, correlations, and fate [PDF]
In situ measurements of a large number of trace chemicals from the midlatitude (37-57°N) lower stratosphere were performed with the NASA DC-8 aircraft during March 1994.

This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

2-Styrylchromones: Cytotoxicity and Modulation of Human Neutrophils’ Oxidative Burst
Neutrophils are polymorphonuclear leukocytes recruited to sites of acute inflammation, in response to pathogen invasion and tissue injury. The modulation of their activity, especially oxidative burst, may be important to control the inflammatory process.

Plasma functionalized surface of commodity polymers for dopamine detection [PDF]
We have fabricated potentially generalizable sensors based on polymeric-modified electrodes for the electrochemical detection of dopamine. Sensitive and selective sensors have been successfully obtained by applying a cold-plasma treatment during 1–2 min ...
