Kupffer Cells Increase Apolipoprotein Secretion in Response to Indigestible Plastics

Microplastics appear capable of significantly impairing the function of phagocytes in the liver, at least in mice. In turn, this disrupts the metabolism of this vital organ and increases the build-up of fat inside it. These are the key findings from a joint German-Austrian study led by the University of Bonn, details of which have now been published in the journal "Nature Metabolism."

Wearable Microneedle Sensor Enables In Vivo Bioanalysis of Cardiac Biomarkers

Researchers developed a microneedle electrochemiluminescence device that measured cardiac troponins in interstitial fluid at 30-minute intervals and detected cTnI down to 21.3 fg/mL in artificial interstitial fluid. In 15 rats and 1 pig, researchers recorded biomarker trends broadly consistent with serum ELISA results, although the wired, single-target prototype has not been tested in humans.

AI-Assisted Paper Test Measures Three Cardiac Biomarkers in 23 Minutes

Researchers developed an AI-assisted dual-mode paper assay that measures cTnI, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP from 50 µL of serum in 23 minutes. In single-site analytical validation, neural networks quantified the three biomarkers across distinct concentration ranges, supporting further development for multiplexed cardiac testing at the point of care.

Protein Shape Changes Come Into Focus With LiP-MS and 3D Proteomics

This review explains how LiP-MS detects protein structural changes across whole proteomes, adding functional insight that standard abundance-based proteomics often misses. It also surveys method variants and shows how LiP-MS supports drug-target discovery, disease biomarker research, and the broader framework of “3D proteomics.”
