Article Abstract
Purpose: The use of dental restorative materials is a routine task in clinical dentistry. Upon exposure to the oral cavity, continuous adsorption of salivary proteins and other macromolecules to all surfaces occurs, representing the first step in dental biofilm formation. Different physico-chemical properties of substrate materials potentially influence the composition of the initial biofilm, termed pellicle. This study aimed at characterizing and comparing the individual proteomic composition of the 3-min pellicle formed on bovine enamel and six restorative materials.
Experimental Design: After chemical elution, pellicle proteins were identified by nano-LC-HR-MS/MS. Proteomic profiles were analyzed in terms of molecular weights, isoelectric points, molecular functions and compared to saliva to reveal substrate material-specific adsorption patterns.
Results: A total of 1348 different pellicle proteins were identified, with 187-686 proteins in individual 3-min pellicles. Unexpectedly, this yielded quite similar distribution patterns independent of the substrate materials. Furthermore, overall similar fold changes were obtained for the major part of commonly enriched or depleted proteins in the pellicles.
Conclusions And Clinical Relevance: The current results point to a minor role of the substrate material on the proteomic composition of the 3-min pellicle and represent core data for understanding the complex surface interactions in the oral cavity.

The etiology of uveitis, choroid inflammation, is diverse, the disease is often recurrent, difficult to treat, and frequently results in disability at a young age. Studies investigating the tear fluid composition in uveitis have revealed promising biomarkers relevant for prognosis and treatment optimization. This review presents literature data on changes in the tear fluid content of proteins involved in local immune responses, intercellular interactions, proteolytic and free radical processes, nitric oxide metabolism, and other metabolic pathways in different forms of uveitis.

Unlabelled: Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) induce significant reorganization of the nuclear environment, leading to the formation of virus-induced subnuclear structures known as replication compartments (RCs). Within these RCs, viral genome replication, gene expression, and modulation of cellular antiviral responses are tightly coordinated, making them valuable models for studying virus-host interactions. In a recent study, we analyzed the protein composition of HAdV type 5 (HAdV-C5) RCs isolated from infected primary cells at different time points during infection using quantitative proteomics.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous structures consisting of lipid bilayers that are released by most cell types and serve as important mediators of intercellular communication. The HEK293T cell line model has gained considerable attention from the scientific community, particularly in the fields of engineering and drug delivery. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of systematic comparisons of the most prevalent EV isolation methodologies for HEK293T in terms of recovery and specificity.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging through closed bipolar nanoelectrode arrays (BPnEAs) has emerged as a promising method for in situ label-free wide-field electrochemical imaging. In this study, a cathodic ECL system based on [Ru(bpz)]/SO is combined with the BPnEAs fabricated on silicon nitride membrane windows through focused ion beam nanofabrication, enabling effective bipolar imaging of heterogeneous anodic electrocatalytic reactions. The shape, distribution, size, and material composition of individual electrodes within the array can be precisely controlled.
