Article Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) has been highlighted as a key gaseous signaling molecule in the body, playing a central role in various physiological and pathological processes. However, a comprehensive analysis of NO metabolism dynamics in living cells remains a significant challenge. To address this, we have developed and characterized a novel genetically encoded NO fluorescence sensor, GefiNO, to investigate NO metabolism dynamics in living cells and subcellular organelles. In the study, we described the protein detection capabilities and subcellular spatiotemporal localization of GefiNO sensors. By analyzing NO metabolic responses in macrophages of different subtypes, we provide a comprehensive view of NO dynamics at the cellular level. The GefiNO sensor represents a valuable tool for monitoring extensive NO dynamics in living cells and offers potential for uncovering new insights into cellular metabolic mechanisms.

The discovery of solute precursors of crystalline materials, such as biominerals, recently challenged the classical nucleation theory (CNT). One emerging method for investigating these early-stage intermediates in solution is dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP)-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Recent applications of dDNP to calcium carbonate (CaC) and calcium phosphate (CaP) mineralization have demonstrated the feasibility of identifying and tracing very early-stage prenucleation clusters (PNCs).

Form and function in biological filaments: a physicist's review.

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci

September 2025

Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Department of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough LE11 3TU, UK.

Nature uses elongated shapes and filaments to build stable structures, generate motion and allow complex geometric interactions. In this review, we examine the role of biological filaments across different length scales. From the molecular scale, where cytoskeletal filaments provide a robust but dynamic cellular scaffolding, over the scale of cellular appendages like cilia and flagella, to the scale of filamentous microorganisms like cyanobacteria, among the most successful genera on Earth, and even to the scale of elongated animals like worms and snakes, whose motility modes inspire robotic analogues.

The fluid dynamics and functional diversity of the flagella of free-living flagellates.

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci

September 2025

Department of Biology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Flagellates, unicellular organisms equipped with one or a few flagella, are phylogenetically and functionally hugely diverse. Yet, most studies have focused on a few model organisms and on the role of the flagellum in propulsion, ignoring the fundamental role of the flagellum in foraging. The number and position of flagella vary between species; the flagella may be naked or equipped with vanes or hairs; the kinematics and wave patterns vary and may be planar or three-dimensional; and the flagellum may extend from the surface of the cell or lie within a groove on the cell surface.

An estimated 254 million people live with hepatitis B worldwide, with only 13% of people diagnosed and 3% receiving antiviral treatment. Without timely treatment, people with hepatitis B risk developing liver damage and liver cancer. In countries like Australia, where most people with hepatitis B are born in countries with higher prevalence, it is important that the knowledge and perceptions of hepatitis B in immigrant populations are explored to improve engagement in care.

Visualizing intracellular glycine with two-dye and single-dye ratiometric RNA-based sensors.

Nucleic Acids Res

September 2025

Department of Chemistry and Henry Eyring Center for Cell and Genome Science, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, United States.

Glycine is an important metabolite and cell signal in diverse organisms, yet tools to visualize intracellular glycine dynamics have not been developed. In this study, diverse and bright RNA-based glycine biosensors were developed by fusing the architecturally complex glycine riboswitch with Broccoli class fluorogenic aptamers. The brightest sensor with the highest activation, glyS, and its two-dye ratiometric counterpart, Pepper-glyS, allowed for visualization of a drug-induced accumulation of endogenous glycine in live Escherichia colicells.
