Abstract
Aging-related protein misfolding and aggregation may play critical roles in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. In the brain, extracellular aggregated amyloid-β (Aβ) is closely related to the death of neurons in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Albumin-Aβ binding is important in preventing Aβ fibril aggregation. However, because albumin is the most abundant and important antioxidant in the circulation, aging-related oxidative stress could have a significant effect on the molecular conformation and binding capacities of albumin. To investigate the link between misfolded albumin and AD, we developed fluorescent assays to determine the effects of misfolded albumin on membrane integrity in the presence of a lipolytic, inflammatory response-like enzyme, secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). We found that misfolded albumin increased degradation of phospholipids in highly fluid bilayer membranes in the presence of sPLA2 due to hydrophobic effects of misfolded albumin. High amounts of misfolded albumin were present in sera of elderly (average 74 years) versus young (average 24 years) subjects (p < 0.0001). Albumin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of elderly subjects, though present in small concentrations, had a 2- to 3-fold increased capacity to promote sPLA2-catalyzed membrane phospholipid degradation as compared with the same amount of albumin in serum (p < 0.0001). In addition, the fatty acid binding capacity of albumin in CSF from female subjects was considerably lower than values obtained for men, especially for individuals diagnosed with AD (p = 0.0006). This study suggests that inflammation, misfolded albumin and/or other dysfunctional proteins, and changes in membrane fluidity could alter cell membrane integrity and homeostasis and contribute to the pathogenesis of aging-related dementia and AD.

Abstract
It is known that visible light, including sunlight and laboratory lighting, adversely affect the development of embryos in vitro. In with article we present a technology for the synthesis of composite screens, capable to photoconvert UV and a part of the blue spectrum into red light with the maximum ~630 nm. It is established that the application of such transformed light with an evident red component raises the chances of embryos to survive and protects embryonic stem cells. To create photoconversion screens, the CdZn/Se quantum dots were obtained, the average size being about 7 nm. When the quantum dots are excited by electromagnetic waves of the UV and blue spectral range, photoluminescence is observed. The average photon energy for photoluminescence is of the order of 2 eV. On the basis of CdZn/Se quantum dots and methylphenylsiloxane polymer, light-transforming composite screens were made. In case of the light-transforming composite screen, the UV component disappeared from the energy spectrum, and the intensity of the blue region of the spectrum was reduced. On the contrary, in the red region (λmax = 630 nm) one can see a little more than two-fold increase of intensity. It is shown that when exposed to 2-cell embryos by transformed light, the proportion of normally developing embryos increases by 20%, the number of dead embryos decreases twice, and number of dead and apoptotic cells was lower in blastocysts, what's decreased by 70%, as compared to the control group. When blastocysts are transferred to the feeder substrate, colonies of embryonic stem cells are formed. Cells obtained from blastocysts irradiated with transformed visible light are in a normal state in 90% of cases and did not change expression levels, biochemistry and morphology for at least 20 passages. It is assumed that the data obtained can be used for the design of systems of efficient cultivation of embryonic cells for tissue engineering and cell therapy.

Abstract
Although studies showed effects of nanoalumina (nano-Al2O3) on Escherichia coli, no study completely provides understanding on how bacterial cells respond to damages, especially on how they initiate self-defense. In this study, we showed three types of responses of E. coli to damages caused by nano-Al2O3. Live, dead, and injured, bacteria showed improved survival rates reaching 104%, 116%, and 104% after exposure to 0.1, 1, and 10mmol/L of nano-Al2O3 respectively. Survival rates improved from 100% to 114%, corresponding to an exposure time of 0-9h, and from 100% to 127%, corresponding to 0-1000μg/L Al3+. Improvements were noted in survival rates of E. coli K12 MG1655, HB101, DH5α, and K12 MG1655 △lexA treated by nano-Al2O3 in Luria-Bertani (LB) exposure system or K12 MG1655 in LB, normal saline(NS) and H2O exposure system. Bacterial cells transformed from long rods to ellipsoidal or nearly spherical as form of self-preservation mechanism; this phenomenon may be related to changes in membrane potential induced by free Al3+ released from nano-Al2O3 particles. Molecular mechanism of this response involved inhibited gene expression of sythesis and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Findings presented in this study may improve understanding of potential danger of nanomaterials and control their spread to environmen.

Abstract
Recent advances in lipidomic analysis in combination with various physiological experiments set the stage for deciphering the structure-function of haloarchaeal membrane lipids. Here we focused primarily on changes in lipid composition of Haloferax volcanii, but also performed a comparative analysis with four other haloarchaeal species (Halobacterium salinarum, Halorubrum lacusprofundi, Halorubrum sodomense and Haloplanus natans) all representing distinctive cell morphologies and behaviors (i.e., rod shape vs. pleomorphic behavior). Common to all five haloarchaea, our data reveal an extraordinary high level of menaquinone, reaching up to 72% of the total lipids. This ubiquity suggests that menaquinones may function beyond their ordinary role as electron and proton transporter, acting simultaneously as ion permeability barriers and as powerful shield against oxidative stress. In addition, we aimed at understanding the role of cations interacting with the characteristic negatively charged surface of haloarchaeal membranes. We propose for instance that by bridging the negative charges of adjacent anionic phospholipids, Mg2+ acts as surrogate for cardiolipin, a molecule that is known to control curvature stress of membranes. This study further provides a bioenergetic perspective as to how haloarchaea evolved following oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere. The success of the aerobic lifestyle of haloarchaea includes multiple membrane-based strategies that successfully balance the need for a robust bilayer structure with the need for high rates of electron transport - collectively representing the molecular basis to inhabit hypersaline water bodies around the planet.
