Bacterial mobility and motility in porous media mimicked by microspheres

This study examines bacterial motion in microsphere-mimicked porous media, finding reduced velocity and increased directional changes with higher microsphere density, and establishes a correlation between bacterial trapping and geometric confinement.

Organic Dust Exposure Induces Stress Response and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Monocytic Cells

This study investigates how organic dust exposure induces mitochondrial stress and dysfunction in monocytic cells, showing increased mtDNA leakage, mitophagy, and reduced cell viability.

Organic dust induced mitochondrial dysfunction could be targeted via cGAS-STING or mitochondrial NOX-2 inhibition

This study shows that organic dust exposure increases mitochondrial DNA release and inflammation in microglial cells, which can be mitigated by inhibiting NOX-2 or STING.

High photon count rates improve the quality of super-resolution fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy

This paper demonstrates that high photon count rates improve the quality of super-resolution fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy by using advanced detection equipment.

Lipid composition but not curvature is a determinant of a low molecular mobility within HIV-1 lipid envelope

The paper investigates the factors affecting molecular mobility on HIV-1 lipid envelopes using STED-FCS, finding that lipid composition and rigidity, not curvature, determine low mobility.

Complementary studies of lipid membrane dynamics using iSCAT and super-resolved Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy

This paper compares STED-FCS and iSCAT techniques for measuring lipid diffusion on SLBs using hybrid fluorescent-gold nanoparticle tags, finding significant differences in diffusion coefficients.
