Article Abstract

The large amount of existing nanomaterials demands rapid and reliable methods for testing their potential toxicological effect on human health, preferably by means of relevant in vitro techniques in order to reduce testing on animals. Combining high throughput workflows with automated high content imaging techniques allows deriving much more information from cell-based assays than the typical readouts (i.e. one measurement per well) with optical plate-readers. We present here a dataset including data based on a maximum of 14 different read outs (including viable cell count, cell membrane permeability, apoptotic cell death, mitochondrial membrane potential and steatosis) of the human hepatoma HepaRG cell line treated with a large set of nanomaterials, coatings and supernatants at different concentrations. The database, given its size, can be utilized in the development of in silico hazard assessment and prediction tools or can be combined with toxicity results from other in vitro test systems.

In the event of a large-scale radiological or nuclear emergency, a rapid, high-throughput screening tool will be essential for efficient triage of potentially exposed individuals, optimizing scarce medical resources and ensuring timely care. The objective of this work was to characterize the effects of age and sex on two intracellular lymphocyte protein biomarkers, BAX and p53, for early radiation exposure classification in the human population, using an imaging flow cytometry-based platform for rapid biomarker quantification in whole blood samples. Peripheral blood samples from male and female donors, across three adult age groups (young adult, middle-aged, senior) and a juvenile cohort, were X-irradiated (0-5 Gy), and biomarker expression was quantified at two- and three-days post-exposure.

High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) provides genome-wide insights into chromatin interactions within the three-dimensional structure of the nucleus, making it a powerful tool for studying genome architecture. Here, we provide a modified in situ Hi-C protocol for small cell numbers, utilizing 50-100 embryonic cells at the 8-cell stage to investigate chromatin organization during bovine early embryonic development. This protocol overcomes the challenges of limited sample availability and offers valuable insights into chromatin dynamics during bovine early embryogenesis.

Motivation: The advent of next-generation sequencing-based spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) techniques has reshaped genomic studies by enabling high-throughput gene expression profiling while preserving spatial and morphological context. Understanding gene functions and interactions in different spatial domains is crucial, as it can enhance our comprehension of biological mechanisms, such as cancer-immune interactions and cell differentiation in various regions. It is necessary to cluster tissue regions into distinct spatial domains and identify discriminating genes that elucidate the clustering result, referred to as spatial domain-specific discriminating genes (DGs).

The challenge of photocatalytic hydrogen production has motivated a targeted search for MXenes as a promising class of materials for this transformation because of their high mobility and high light absorption. High-throughput screening has been widely used to discover new materials, but the relatively high cost limits the chemical space for searching MXenes. We developed a deep-learning-enabled high-throughput screening approach that identified 14 stable candidates with suitable band alignment for water splitting from 23 857 MXenes.

The calibration of the JET x-ray spectrometer is presented. The absolute throughput, diffractor focusing, and instrument function of the spectrometer are presented, and the quality of the ion temperature measurement is re-assessed, particularly at the lower end. The addition of a second diffractor enables the simultaneous measurements of the spectra from H- and He-like nickel, which widens the spatial coverage of the core-ion temperature measurements for high-performance plasmas at a fixed Bragg angle range.
