Summary: This study successfully purified and cloned a codon-optimized form of the snake prothrombin activator ecarin, which was expressed in human embryonic kidney cells. The clotting performance of the recombinant ecarin was found to be comparable to the native ecarin, with the recombinant form showing an important advantage of no observed clotting and hemolysis in high doses.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamics of protein adsorption on surfaces enriched with calcium ions, showing distinct kinetics between materials and revealing increased protein adsorption associated with coagulation and immune responses prior to calcium release. The findings suggest a strong coagulatory effect for calcium surfaces and initial inflammation that disappears once calcium is released, which explains the differential biological responses between titanium and calcium-ion modified implant surfaces.

Summary: The effect of processing method and sepiolite filler amount on the microstructure of starch-based nanocomposites was investigated. The processing method disrupted the rigid lattice structure of semicrystalline starch, resulting in amorphous flexible films with high transparency and good thermal resistance. The microstructure of the bio-nanocomposites depended on complex interactions among sepiolite, glycerol, and starch chains, which also affected the final properties of the composite materials.

Summary: The 2010 Macondo platform accident by BP resulted in one of the largest oil spills in history, lasting over three months and releasing nearly 500 million liters of oil. This accident exposed technological deficiencies in controlling spills in deep waters. To address the need for understanding and predicting large oil spills in the southern Gulf of Mexico, a consortium of researchers from Mexico and abroad launched an ocean observation project (2015-22) to establish an environmental baseline, enhance monitoring and computational modeling capabilities, and promote scientific understanding of the marine environment.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
