Article Abstract
The tire additive transformation product N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-quinone) has recently garnered global attention due to its acute toxicity to some salmonids, such as coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), and its ubiquitous presence in urban stormwater systems. In the present study, we developed and compared the extraction efficiency of two sample preparation methodologies for quantification of 6PPD-quinone among two fish tissue sample types that included fillet of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) and whole-body samples of O. kisutch fry subjected to in vivo exposure tests with 6PPD-quinone. The two sample preparation methods tested included an accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) approach and a sonication extraction approach. Both sample preparation methods included identical purification steps for the crude sample extracts with enhanced matrix removal cartridges. The purified sample extracts were subjected to targeted analysis of 6PPD-quinone using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The results showed that extractions made with the reported ASE method demonstrated significantly higher absolute recovery (80-96%) of the extracted internal standard, [13C6]-6PPD-quinone, than sonication-based extractions (74-80%) in both fish tissue sample types. The proposed ASE method shows acceptable limits of quantification (0.37-0.67 ng g-1), linearity (R2 > 0.996), and repeatability (RSD ≤ 9%). This work advances research capabilities for investigations on the toxicokinetic processes of 6PPD-quinone in biological samples.

The well-known technique of microtomy, which is an essential cutting tool, was first developed for light and transmission electron microscope uses, but it is currently also utilized to prepare specimens for atomic force microscopy (AFM), ion microscopy using a focused ion beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultramicrotomy can only be used on soft substances and metals that are sufficiently ductile to be cut with a diamond knife. Before being sliced by a microtome, many soft materials must first go through numerous preparatory processes.

Streptococcosis, caused by , is a significant disease in tilapia farming that results in substantial economic losses. While vaccination is the most effective method for prevention, current vaccines face challenges when administered orally or through immersion, primarily due to poor absorption and degradation in the fish's digestive system. Nanotechnology offers new ways to improve vaccine delivery and effectiveness.

This study aimed to develop an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin and evaluate its potential as a bioscaffold for skin wound repair. Structural and compositional changes before and after decellularisation were assessed through histological staining, electron microscopy and immunological analysis. The matrix exhibited low immunogenicity, preserved extracellular matrix architecture and retained key bioactive components.

This study investigates whether size-selective harvesting induced heritable changes reflected in epigenetic and reproductive molecular markers in zebrafish (Danio rerio), thereby indicating potential evolutionary responses. We used an experimental harvest model where zebrafish populations were subjected to five generations of size-selective harvesting, followed by eight generations without harvesting in a controlled environment to examine evolutionarily fixed outcomes in response to harvest selection. We assumed the evolutionary adaptations to size-selection to have left a molecular legacy related to sexual development, as previous studies have shown that evolution of reproductive timing is a common response to size-selection.

Background: Activin A/Smad signaling plays an important role in promoting cancer stemness and chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), however the precise regulation on the termination of this pathway has not been fully understood.
Methods: LncRNA SLC7A11-AS1 interacting proteins were identified through RNA pull-down followed by LC-MS/MS. The protein interaction was analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation.
