Recent advances in bioanalytical and imaging technologies have revolutionized our ability to assess complex biological and pathological changes within tissue samples. Spatial omics, a rapidly evolving technology, enables the simultaneous detection of multiple biomolecules in tissue sections, allowing for high-dimensional molecular profiling within tissue microanatomical contexts. This offers a powerful opportunity for precise, multidimensional exploration of complex disease pathophysiology.

Both technologies currently remain largely independent, and emerging same slide spatial multi-omics approaches are generally limited in plex, spatial resolution, and analytical approaches. We introduce IN-situ DEtailed Phenotyping To High-resolution transcriptomics (IN-DEPTH), a streamlined and resource-effective approach compatible with various spatial platforms.

It is expressed as surface transmembrane protein and shed. E3/49K of HAdV-D64 binds to the protein tyrosine phosphatase surface receptor CD45, thereby modulating activation of T and NK cells.

Advancements in multiplexed tissue imaging technologies are vital in shaping our understanding of tissue microenvironmental influences in disease contexts. These technologies now allow us to relate the phenotype of individual cells to their higher-order roles in tissue organization and function. Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging (MIBI) is one of such technologies, which uses metal isotope-labeled antibodies and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to image more than 40 protein markers simultaneously within a single tissue section.

This threat is exacerbated by the emergence of multidrug-resistant and extremely-drug-resistant strains of the pathogen. We have obtained two distinct clones of multidrug-resistant after gradual exposure of mc² 155 to increasing concentrations of erythromycin.

Extracts of Desmodium adscendens (Sw) DC are used for the treatment of various diseases but limited toxicological evaluations have been done on the medicinal plant. This study investigates toxicity effects of the leave extract of D adscendens, and the possibility of drug-drug interaction of the plant extract when co-administered with other drugs. Oral administrations of leaf extract of D adscendens to white Wistar rats in an acute toxicity studies allowed the estimation of an LD (median lethal dose) value of 1122 mg/kg body weight.
