  • A Flexible Microfluidic System for Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A fexible microfuidic system for single‑cell transcriptome profling elucidates phased transcriptional regulators of cell cycle Karen Davey1,7, Daniel Wong2,7, Filip Konopacki2, Eugene Kwa1, Tony Ly3, Heike Fiegler2 & Christopher R. Sibley 1,4,5,6* Single cell transcriptome profling has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the high‑resolution understanding of complex cellular systems. Here we report a fexible, cost‑efective and user‑ friendly droplet‑based microfuidics system, called the Nadia Instrument, that can allow 3′ mRNA capture of ~ 50,000 single cells or individual nuclei in a single run. The precise pressure‑based system demonstrates highly reproducible droplet size, low doublet rates and high mRNA capture efciencies that compare favorably in the feld. Moreover, when combined with the Nadia Innovate, the system can be transformed into an adaptable setup that enables use of diferent bufers and barcoded bead confgurations to facilitate diverse applications. Finally, by 3′ mRNA profling asynchronous human and mouse cells at diferent phases of the cell cycle, we demonstrate the system’s ability to readily distinguish distinct cell populations and infer underlying transcriptional regulatory networks. Notably this provided supportive evidence for multiple transcription factors that had little or no known link to the cell cycle (e.g. DRAP1, ZKSCAN1 and CEBPZ). In summary, the Nadia platform represents a promising and fexible technology for future transcriptomic studies, and other related applications, at cell resolution. Single cell transcriptome profling has recently emerged as a breakthrough technology for understanding how cellular heterogeneity contributes to complex biological systems. Indeed, cultured cells, microorganisms, biopsies, blood and other tissues can be rapidly profled for quantifcation of gene expression at cell resolution.

Biomechan- ical modeling and robotics computation have been integrated to extend the applications of musculoskeletal analysis of human movements. The analysis would also provide valuable means for the other mammalian animals. One of current approaches of post-genomic research focuses to find connections between the phenotype and the genotype. The former means the visible morphological or behavioral expression of an animal, while the latter implies its genetic expression. Knockout mice allows to study the developmental pathway from the genetic disorders to the behavioral disorders. Would musculoskeletal analysis of mice also offer scientific means for such study? This paper reports our recent technological development to build the musculoskeletal model of a laboratory mouse. We propose mapping the musculoskeletal model of human to a laboratory mouse based on the morphological similarity between the two mammals. Although the model will need fine adjustment based on the CT data or else, we can still use the mapped musculoskeletal model as an approximate model of the mouse’s musculoskeletal system.

  • 2VD3-Glycosides on Development of Early Testes in Piglets
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Proteomics analysis reveals the efect of 1α,25(OH)2VD3‑glycosides on development of early testes in piglets Haodong Chen1,2,3,5, Kathrin Bühler4,5, Yan Zhu1, Xiongwei Nie1 & Wanghong Liu1,2,3* 1α,25(OH)2VD3 is the most active form of VD3 in animals. It plays an important role in regulating mineral metabolism but also in reproduction. Testes are the main reproductive organs of male mammals. Our research aims to reveal the efect of 1α,25(OH)2VD3‑glycosides on development of early testes in piglets. 140 weaned 21‑day old piglets were selected. The piglets were randomly divided into four groups and were fed a commercial diet supplemented with 0, 1, 2 and 4 μg/kg of 1α,25(OH)2VD3, provided as 1α,25(OH)2VD3‑glycosides. Sixty days after the start of the experiment, at piglet age 82 days, testes were harvested. The morphology and histology of early testicular development were assessed. In addition, the proteomic TMT/iTRAQ labelling technique was used to analyse the protein profle of the testes in each group. Western blotting was applied to verify the target of diferentially abundant proteins (DAPs). The analysis of morphology and histology of testes showed that a certain concentration of 1α,25(OH)2VD3‑glycosides had a positive and signifcant efect on testicular development. And the results of proteomics analysis showed that of the identifed 132,715 peptides, 122,755 were unique peptides. 7852 proteins, of which 6573 proteins contain quantitative information. Screening for DAPs focused on proteins closely related to the regulation of testicular development such as steroid hormone synthesis, steroid biosynthesis, peroxisome and fatty acid metabolism pathways.

With the knee in slight flexion, the patient is instructed to isometrically contract the quadriceps. The hip is also flexed, abducted, and medially rotated. Using a perpendicular palpation technique, the edges of the tract can be identified slightly proximal to the level of the base of the patella (Fig. 6.50). Note • The tract is found directly over the lateral epicondyle when the knee is in 30−40° flexion. Less flexion shifts the tract so that it is then anterior to the epicondyle, while more flexion moves it posteriorly. It now be- comes apparent that the iliotibial tract must slide over the epicondyle during the gait cycle. This can oc- casionally cause symptoms. • A significant number of tract fibers extend down to the lateral edge of the patella and insert slightly distal to the vastus lateralis tendon.
