Effect of Ultrasonic Treatment on the Properties of PSE-like Chicken Sarcoplasmic Protein and Myofibrillar Protein Composite Gels by LI Ke, SUN Lixue, ZHOU Yanfang, ZHANG Yixue, HE Xiangli, DU Manting, MA Wuchao, BAI Yanhong

“…Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed that SP had a certain promotion effect on the aggregation and cross-linking of myosin, but this effect became weaker when the ratio of SP to MP was 3:7. Both hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bond content reached their highest levels and the composite gel formed a denser network structure when the ratio of SP to MP was 2:8, and the ultrasonic power was 600 W. …”

Human Adenovirus Serotype 3 Infection Modulates the Biogenesis and Composition of Lung Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles by Ayodeji O. Ipinmoroti, Brennetta J. Crenshaw, Rachana Pandit, Sanjay Kumar, Brian Sims, Qiana L. Matthews

“…A549 cell-derived EVs revealed the presence of TSG101, tetraspanins CD9 and CD63, and heat shock proteins 70 and 100 with significantly elevated levels of Rab5, 7, and 35 at higher MOIs (300, 750, and 1500) when compared to the controls. Our findings suggested Ad3 could modulate EV biogenesis, composition, and trafficking which could impact infection pathogenesis and disease progression. …”
