Abstract
Bluetongue virus (BTV), a major peril to the sheep industry, infects a wide range of the cells in the infected animals including mononuclear, dendritic and epithelial cells. However, little is known about its tropism for the secretory epithelial cells of endocrine glands and the pathogenesis it induces. The aim of the study was to assess the BTV load, antigen distribution in the tissue of the pituitary, thyroid as well as adrenal glands and associated histopathological consequences. BTV antigens were localized using immunohistochemistry in the thyroid's epithelial cells, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis cells and the anterior pituitary epithelial cells. The real-time PCR portrayed the high viral load in adrenals at 7th days postinoculation (DPI) and in thyroid and pituitary glands at 15th DPI. Serum examination revealed variation in the T-3 and T-4 of infected animals in comparison to the control group. Caspase-3 immunolocalization revealed BTV-1 induces apoptosis in the affected cells of endocrine gland of infected animals. Further, this study signifies the tropism of BTV in the novel sites (endocrine glands) of the host that might be one of the reasons for the poor performance of infected animals.

Abstract
Phosphoantigens (pAgs) induce conformational changes after binding to the intracellular region of BTN3A1 which result in its clustering with BTN2A1, forming an activating ligand for the Vγ9Vδ2 T cell receptor. Here, we designed a small panel of bulky analogs of the prototypical pAg (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl diphosphate (HMBPP) that contain an aromatic ring attached to the C-3 position in place of methyl group. These compounds bind with high affinity to BTN3A1 but fail to fully support its interaction with BTN2A1 and only partially trigger T cell activation relative to HMBPP. Furthermore, they can compete with HMBPP for cellular binding to BTN3A1 and reduce the cellular response to HMBPP, a classic partial agonist phenotype. Trifluoromethyl analog 6e was the weakest agonist but the strongest inhibitor of HMBPP ELISA response. Our study provides a rationale for the mode of action of pAg-induced γδ T cell activation and provides insights into other naturally occurring BTN proteins and their respective ligands.

Abstract
The endogenous opioid system regulates pain through local release of neuropeptides and modulation of their action on opioid receptors. However, the effect of opioid peptides, the enkephalins, is short-lived due to their rapid hydrolysis by enkephalin-degrading enzymes. In turn, an innovative approach to the management of pain would be to increase the local concentration and prolong the stability of enkephalins by preventing their inactivation by neural enkephalinases such as puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA). Our previous structure-activity relationship studies offered the S-diphenylmethyl cysteinyl derivative of puromycin (20) as a nanomolar inhibitor of PSA. This chemical class, however, suffered from undesirable metabolism to nephrotoxic puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN). To prevent such toxicity, we designed and synthesized 5'-chloro substituted derivatives. The compounds retained the PSA inhibitory potency of the corresponding 5'-hydroxy analogs and had improved selectivity toward PSA. In vivo treatment with the lead compound 19 caused significantly reduced pain response in antinociception assays, alone and in combination with Met-enkephalin. The analgesic effect was reversed by the opioid antagonist naloxone, suggesting the involvement of opioid receptors. Further, PSA inhibition by compound 19 in brain slices caused local increase in endogenous enkephalin levels, corroborating our rationale. Pharmacokinetic assessment of compound 19 showed desirable plasma stability and identified the cysteinyl sulfur as the principal site of metabolic liability. We gained additional insight into inhibitor-PSA interactions by molecular modeling, which underscored the importance of bulky aromatic amino acid in puromycin scaffold. The results of this study strongly support our rationale for the development of PSA inhibitors for effective pain management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent interest in understanding cardiomyocyte cell cycle has been driven by potential therapeutic applications in cardiomyopathy. However, despite recent advances, cardiomyocyte mitosis remains a poorly understood process. For example, it is unclear how sarcomeres are disassembled during mitosis to allow the abscission of daughter cardiomyocytes. METHODS Here, we use a proteomics screen to identify adducin, an actin capping protein previously not studied in cardiomyocytes, as a regulator of sarcomere disassembly. We generated many adeno-associated viruses and cardiomyocyte-specific genetic gain-of-function models to examine the role of adducin in neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS We identify adducin as a regulator of sarcomere disassembly during mammalian cardiomyocyte mitosis. α/γ-adducins are selectively expressed in neonatal mitotic cardiomyocytes, and their levels decline precipitously thereafter. Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of various splice isoforms and phospho-isoforms of α-adducin in vitro and in vivo identified Thr445/Thr480 phosphorylation of a short isoform of α-adducin as a potent inducer of neonatal cardiomyocyte sarcomere disassembly. Concomitant overexpression of this α-adducin variant along with γ-adducin resulted in stabilization of the adducin complex and persistent sarcomere disassembly in adult mice, which is mediated by interaction with α-actinin. CONCLUSIONS These results highlight an important mechanism for coordinating cytoskeletal morphological changes during cardiomyocyte mitosis.

Abstract
The multi-staged XENON program at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso aims to detect dark matter with two-phase liquid xenon time projection chambers of increasing size and sensitivity. The XENONnT experiment is the latest detector in the program, planned to be an upgrade of its predecessor XENON1T. It features an active target of 5.9 tonnes of cryogenic liquid xenon (8.5 tonnes total mass in cryostat). The experiment is expected to extend the sensitivity to WIMP dark matter by more than an order of magnitude compared to XENON1T, thanks to the larger active mass and the significantly reduced background, improved by novel systems such as a radon removal plant and a neutron veto. This article describes the XENONnT experiment and its sub-systems in detail and reports on the detector performance during the first science run.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a condition in which an adhesive substance called plaque accumulates over time inside the arteries. Plaque buildup results in the constriction of arteries, causing a shortage of blood supply to tissues and organs. Removing atherosclerotic plaques controls the development of acute ischemic stroke and heart diseases. It remains imperative for positive patient outcomes. PURPOSE This study sought to develop a minimally invasive technique for removing arterial plaques by applying focused ultrasound (FUS) energy on the metal surface of a nitinol catheter wire to induce inertial cavitation. The induced cavitation can deplete plaque mechanically inside the arteries, leading towards improved recanalization of blood vessels. METHODS The enhanced cavitation effect induced by combining FUS with a metal catheter was first verified by exposing agar phantom gels with or without a 0.9-mm diameter nitinol wire to an acoustic field produced by a 0.5-MHz FUS transducer. The phenomenon was further confirmed in pork belly fat samples with or without a 3-mm diameter nitinol catheter wire. Cavitation was monitored by detecting the peaks of emitted ultrasound signals from the samples using a passive cavitation detector (PCD). Cavitation threshold values were determined by observing the jump in the peak amplitude of signals received by the PCD when the applied FUS peak negative pressure (PNP) increased. To simulate arterial plaque removal, FUS with or without a catheter was used to remove tissues from pork belly fat samples and the lipid cores of human atherosclerotic plaque samples using 2500-cycle FUS bursts at 10% duty cycle and a burst repetition rate of 20 Hz. Treatment outcomes were quantified by subtracting the weight of samples before treatment from the weight of samples after treatment. All measurements were repeated 5 times (n = 5) unless otherwise indicated, and paired t-tests were used to compare the means of two groups. A p-value of <0.05 will be considered significant. RESULTS Our results showed that with a nitinol wire, the cavitation threshold in agar phantoms was reduced to 2.6 MPa from 4.3 MPa PNP when there was no nitinol wire in the focal region of FUS. For pork belly fat samples, cavitation threshold values were 1.0 and 2.0 MPa PNP, with and without a catheter wire, respectively. Pork belly fat tissues and lipid cores of atherosclerotic plaques were depleted at the interface between a catheter and the samples at 2 and 4 MPa FUS PNP, respectively. The results showed that with a catheter wire in the focal region of a 3-min FUS treatment session, 24.7 and 25.6 mg of lipid tissues were removed from pork belly fat and human atherosclerotic samples, respectively. In contrast, the FUS-only group showed no reduction in sample weight. The differences between FUS-only and FUS-plus-catheter groups were statistically significant (p < 0.001 for the treatment on pork belly samples, and p < 0.01 for the treatment on human atherosclerotic samples). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the feasibility of catheter-assisted FUS therapy for removing atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
CONTEXT Carbon monoxide, also known as the "silent killer," is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritable gas that, when inhaled, enters the bloodstream and lungs, binds with the hemoglobin, and blocks oxygen from reaching tissues and cells. In this work, the monolayer MoSe2-based CO gas sensors were designed using density functional theory calculation with several dopants including Al, Au, Pd, Ni, Cu, and P. Here, Cu and P were found to be the best dopants, with adsorption energies of -0.67 eV (Cu) and -0.54 eV (P) and recovery times of 1.66 s and 13.8 ms respectively. Cu conductivity for CO adsorption was found to be 2.74 times that of CO2 adsorption in the 1.0-2.26 eV range. P displayed the highest selectivity, followed by Pd and Ni. The dopants, Pd and Ni, were found suitable for building CO gas scavengers due to their high recovery times of 9.76 × 1020 s and 2.47 × 1011 s. Similarly, the adsorption of CO2 on doped monolayer MoSe2 was also investigated. In this study, it is found that monolayer MoSe2 could be employed to create high-performance CO sensors in a CO2-rich environment. METHOD The electrical characteristics of all doped MoSe2 monolayers are obtained using a DFT calculation with the PBE-GGA method from the Quantum ESPRESSO package. The self-consistent field (SCF) computations were performed using a 7 × 7 × 1 k-point grid and a norm-conserving pseudo potential (NCPP) file. To determine electrical conductivity, the semi-classical version of Boltzmann transport theory, implemented in the Boltz Trap code, was used.

Abstract
The outer surface of chorionic villi in the human placenta consists of a single multinucleated cell called the syncytiotrophoblast (STB). The unique cellular ultrastructure of the STB presents challenges in deciphering its gene expression signature at the single-cell level, as the STB contains billions of nuclei in a single cell. There are many gaps in understanding the molecular mechanisms and developmental trajectories involved in STB formation and differentiation. To identify the underlying control of the STB, we performed comparative single nucleus (SN) and single cell (SC) RNA sequencing on placental tissue and tissue-derived trophoblast organoids (TOs). We found that SN was essential to capture the STB population from both tissue and TOs. Differential gene expression and pseudotime analysis of TO-derived STB identified three distinct nuclear subtypes reminiscent of those recently identified in vivo . These included a juvenile nuclear population that exhibited both CTB and STB marker expression, a population enriched in genes involved in oxygen sensing, and a fully differentiated subtype. Notably, suspension culture conditions of TOs that restore the native orientation of the STB (STB out ) showed elevated expression of canonical STB markers and pregnancy hormones, along with a greater proportion of the terminally differentiated mature STB subtype, compared to those cultivated with an inverted STB polarity (STB in ). Gene regulatory analysis identified novel markers of STB differentiation conserved in tissue and TOs, including the chromatin remodeler RYBP, that exhibited STB-specific RNA and protein expression. Finally, we compared STB gene expression signatures amongst first trimester tissue, full-term tissue, and TOs, identifying many commonalities but also notable variability across each sample type. This indicates that STB gene expression is responsive to its environmental context. Our findings emphasize the utility of TOs to accurately model STB differentiation and the distinct nuclear subtypes observed in vivo , offering a versatile platform for unraveling the molecular mechanisms governing STB functions in placental biology and disease.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most recalcitrant cancers due to its late diagnosis, poor therapeutic response, and highly heterogeneous microenvironment. Nanotechnology has the potential to overcome some of the challenges to improve diagnostics and tumor-specific drug delivery but they have not been plausibly viable in clinical settings. The review focuses on active targeting strategies to enhance pancreatic tumor-specific uptake for nanoparticles. Additionally, this review highlights using actively targeted liposomes, micelles, gold nanoparticles, silica nanoparticles, and iron oxide nanoparticles to improve pancreatic tumor targeting. Active targeting of nanoparticles toward either differentially expressed receptors or PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME) using peptides, antibodies, small molecules, polysaccharides, and hormones has been presented. We focus on microenvironment-based hallmarks of PDAC and the potential for actively targeted nanoparticles to overcome the challenges presented in PDAC. It describes the use of nanoparticles as contrast agents for improved diagnosis and the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents that target various aspects within the TME of PDAC. Additionally, we review emerging nano-contrast agents detected using imaging-based technologies and the role of nanoparticles in energy-based treatments of PDAC. This article is categorized under: Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanoscale Tools and Techniques in Surgery Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Typical antipsychotics are known to produce extrapyramidal side effects such as drug induced parkinsonism, acute dystonia, akathisia, tardive dyskinesias and rabbit syndrome. Rabbit syndrome is characterized by vertical rhythmic motion of the mouth and lips, resembling chewing movements of a rabbit. REASON FOR THE REPORT Rabbit syndrome seen in patients on antidopaminergic therapies is characterized by vertical rhythmic movements of perioral region, has a late onset, and characteristically spares the tongue. The main aim of the report is to highlight atypical manifestation of antipsychotic associated Rabbit syndrome in the presence of a serotonergic antidepressant. An elderly patient presented with atypical rabbit syndrome with relatively acute onset, horizontal movements of jaw and marked tongue involvement after haloperidol-escitalopram initiation. OUTCOME The patient improved with discontinuation of antipsychotic. The tongue involvement was believed to be secondary to escitalopram use.

Abstract
Foam targets have gained considerable importance over the last decade in laser-matter interaction. They find widespread applications such as in inertial confinement fusion and secondary sources for particles and radiation. At the same time, the advent of high repetition-rate laser systems, be they short-pulse in the tens of femtosecond regime or in the kilo-Joule nanosecond regime, calls for equally high repetition rate targetry systems. A well-established repetition-rate targetry system is the tape target. In this article, we present the successful marriage of a tape target delivery system with 3D-printed foam targets produced by two photon polymerization.

Abstract
Candida albicans is the predominant cause of systemic candidiasis, although other non albicans Candida species are progressively becoming more widespread nowadays. Candida auris has emerged as a deadly multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen, posing a significant threat to global public health. In the absence of effective antifungal therapies, the development of a vaccine against C. auris infections is imperative. Enolase, a key glycolytic enzyme, has emerged as a promising vaccine candidate due to its immunogenic properties and essential role in fungal virulence. Herein, full-length Enolase gene sequences from C. albicans and C. auris were cloned into suitable expression vector and transformed into Escherichia coli expression hosts. Recombinant Enolase proteins were successfully expressed and purified using affinity chromatography under native conditions, followed by SDS-PAGE characterization and Western blot analysis. CD spectroscopy verified the existence of expressed proteins in soluble native conformation. Preliminary in silico studies verified the immunogenicity of recombinant Enolase proteins isolated from both C. albicans and C. auris. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis revealed conserved B-cell and T-cell epitopes across C. albicans and C. auris Enolase proteins, suggesting potential cross-reactivity and broad-spectrum vaccine efficacy. Our findings are anticipated to play a role in advancing therapeutic as well as diagnostic strategies against systemic candidiasis.

Abstract
Single-cell expression dynamics, from differentiation trajectories or RNA velocity, have the potential to reveal causal links between transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes in gene regulatory networks (GRNs). However, existing methods either overlook these expression dynamics or necessitate that cells be ordered along a linear pseudotemporal axis, which is incompatible with branching trajectories. We introduce Velorama, an approach to causal GRN inference that represents single-cell differentiation dynamics as a directed acyclic graph of cells, constructed from pseudotime or RNA velocity measurements. Additionally, Velorama enables the estimation of the speed at which TFs influence target genes. Applying Velorama, we uncover evidence that the speed of a TF's interactions is tied to its regulatory function. For human corticogenesis, we find that slow TFs are linked to gliomas, while fast TFs are associated with neuropsychiatric diseases. We expect Velorama to become a critical part of the RNA velocity toolkit for investigating the causal drivers of differentiation and disease.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium (STM) is a facultative anaerobe and one of the causative agents of nontyphoidal salmonellosis (NTS). Its anaerobic metabolism is enabled under the hypoxic environment that is encountered inside macrophages and the gut lumen of the host. In both of these niches, free radicals and oxidative intermediates are released by neutrophils as an inflammatory response. These chemical species further undergo reactions to produce nitrate, which is preferably taken up by STM as an electron acceptor in the absence of oxygen. NarL, the response regulator of the two-component regulatory system NarX/L, and a transcription factor, gets activated under anaerobic nitrate-rich conditions and upregulates the nitrate reduction during anaerobic respiration of STM. To understand the role of NarL in the pathogenesis of STM, we generated a narL-knockout (STM:ΔnarL) as well as a narL-complemented strain of STM. Anaerobically, the mutant displayed no growth defect but a significant attenuation in the swimming (26%) and swarming (61%) motility, and biofilm-forming ability (73%) in vitro, while these morphotypes got rescued upon genetic complementation. We also observed a downregulation in the expression of genes associated with nitrate reduction (narG) and biofilm formation (csgA and csgD) in anaerobically grown STM:ΔnarL. As compared with wild STM, narL mutant exhibited a threefold reduction in the intracellular replication in both intestinal epithelial cells (INT- 407) and monocyte-derived macrophages of poultry origin. Further, in vivo competitive assay in the liver and spleen of the murine model showed a competitive index of 0.48 ± 0.58 and 0.403668 ± 0.32, respectively, for STM:ΔnarL.

Abstract
Sublingual hematoma, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, can arise spontaneously or secondary to various triggers, including trauma, dental procedures, or anticoagulant therapy. We present a case of massive spontaneous sublingual hematoma in a 45-year-old woman receiving aspirin therapy for rheumatic heart disease. Despite the absence of trauma or procedural triggers, the patient presented with bleeding from the floor of the mouth and significant submental swelling, prompting urgent intervention to secure the airway and manage coagulopathy. Conservative measures, including discontinuation of aspirin and intravenous vitamin K administration, led to gradual hematoma resolution and favorable patient outcomes. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition and early management of sublingual hematoma, particularly in the context of aspirin therapy-induced coagulopathy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal (GI) lipomas are rare; however, they are frequent enough to be considered in the differential diagnosis of gut tumours. Here, we present our experience with GI lipomas managed at our institute over the last three years. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with GI lipomas managed between January, 2020 and April, 2023 at a tertiary care centre. Clinical presentation, location, and details of surgical procedure were analysed. RESULTS Ten patients were included, six of whom had lipoma in the colon, one in the stomach, and one each in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The mean age at the time of presentation was 48.8 years (range, 19-77 years), and strong male preponderance (4:1) was noted. Preoperative diagnosis of lipoma on cross-sectional imaging was possible in all patients. All patients were symptomatic and were managed surgically. CONCLUSIONS While GI lipomas are generally considered to be indolent and benign tumours, they can potentially lead to severe complications. The utilisation of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging has brought about a significant transformation in diagnosing this condition, enabling preoperative identification in most cases. The surgery offers a definitive treatment with minimal risk of postoperative complications.

Abstract
This Letter presents the measurement of near-side associated per-trigger yields, denoted ridge yields, from the analysis of angular correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. Long-range ridge yields are extracted for pairs of charged particles with a pseudorapidity difference of 1.4<|Δη|<1.8 and a transverse momentum of 1

First Measurement of the |t| Dependence of Incoherent J/ψ Photonuclear Production. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:162302. [PMID: 38701458 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.132.162302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
The first measurement of the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons as a function of the Mandelstam |t| variable is presented. The measurement was carried out with the ALICE detector at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, using ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. This rapidity interval corresponds to a Bjorken-x range (0.3-1.4)×10^{-3}. Cross sections are given in five |t| intervals in the range 0.04<|t|<1 GeV^{2} and compared to the predictions by different models. Models that ignore quantum fluctuations of the gluon density in the colliding hadron predict a |t| dependence of the cross section much steeper than in data. The inclusion of such fluctuations in the same models provides a better description of the data.

Abstract
The endogenous opioid system regulates pain through local release of neuropeptides and modulation of their action on opioid receptors. However, the effect of opioid peptides, the enkephalins, is short-lived due to their rapid hydrolysis by enkephalin-degrading enzymes. In turn, an innovative approach to the management of pain would be to increase the local concentration and prolong the stability of enkephalins by preventing their inactivation by neural enkephalinases such as puromycin sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA). Our previous structure-activity relationship studies offered the S-diphenylmethyl cysteinyl derivative of puromycin (20) as a nanomolar inhibitor of PSA. This chemical class, however, suffered from undesirable metabolism to nephrotoxic puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN). To prevent such toxicity, we designed and synthesized 5'-chloro substituted derivatives. The compounds retained the PSA inhibitory potency of the corresponding 5'-hydroxy analogs and had improved selectivity toward PSA. In vivo treatment with the lead compound 19 caused significantly reduced pain response in antinociception assays, alone and in combination with Met-enkephalin. The analgesic effect was reversed by the opioid antagonist naloxone, suggesting the involvement of opioid receptors. Further, PSA inhibition by compound 19 in brain slices caused local increase in endogenous enkephalin levels, corroborating our rationale. Pharmacokinetic assessment of compound 19 showed desirable plasma stability and identified the cysteinyl sulfur as the principal site of metabolic liability. We gained additional insight into inhibitor-PSA interactions by molecular modeling, which underscored the importance of bulky aromatic amino acid in puromycin scaffold. The results of this study strongly support our rationale for the development of PSA inhibitors for effective pain management.
