Within bone matrix, they are trapped close together in a submicrometric interconnected network: the lacunocanalicular network (LCN). The interstitial fluid circulating within the LCN transmits the mechanical information to the osteocytes that convert it into a biochemical signal. Understanding the interstitial fluid dynamics is necessary to better understand the bone mechanobiology. Due to the submicrometric dimensions of the LCN, making it difficult to experimentally investigate fluid dynamics, numerical models appear as a relevant tool for such investigation. To develop such models, there is a need for geometrical and morphological data on the human LCN. This study aims at providing morphological data on the human LCN from measurement of 27 human femoral diaphysis bone samples using synchrotron radiation nano-computed tomography with an isotropic voxel size of 100 nm. Except from the canalicular diameter, the canalicular morphological parameters presented a high variability within one sample. Some differences in terms of both lacunar and canalicular morphology were observed between the male and female populations. But it has to be highlighted that all the canaliculi cannot be detected with a voxel size of 100 nm. Hence, in the current study, only a specific population of large canaliculi that could be characterize. Still, to the authors knowledge, this is the first time such a data set was introduced to the community.

Prior work has demonstrated the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of AF. Mitochondrial structure, interactions with other organelles such as sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and T-tubules (TT), and degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria via mitophagy are important processes to understand ultrastructural changes due to AF. However, most analysis of mitochondrial structure and interactome in AF has been limited to two-dimensional (2D) modalities such as transmission electron microscopy (EM), which does not fully visualize the morphological evolution of the mitochondria during mitophagy. Herein, we utilize focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and perform reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) EM from murine left atrial samples and measure the interactions of mitochondria with SR and TT. We developed a novel 3D quantitative analysis of FIB-SEM in a murine model of AF to quantify mitophagy stage, mitophagosome size in cardiomyocytes, and mitochondrial structural remodeling when compared with control mice. We show that in our murine model of spontaneous and continuous AF due to persistent late sodium current, left atrial cardiomyocytes have heterogenous mitochondria, with a significant number which are enlarged with increased elongation and structural complexity. Mitophagosomes in AF cardiomyocytes are located at Z-lines where they neighbor large, elongated mitochondria. Mitochondria in AF cardiomyocytes show increased organelle interaction, with 5X greater contact area with SR and are 4X as likely to interact with TT when compared to control. We show that mitophagy in AF cardiomyocytes involves 2.5X larger mitophagosomes that carry increased organelle contents. In conclusion, when oxidative stress overcomes compensatory mechanisms, mitophagy in AF faces a challenge of degrading bulky complex mitochondria, which may result in increased SR and TT contacts, perhaps allowing for mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup> maintenance and antioxidant production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of structural biology","volume":"216 3","pages":"Article 108110"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141620264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The etiology of PD can be attributed to the presence and aggregation of a protein known as α-synuclein. Researchers have observed that the application of an external electrostatic field holds the potential to induce the separation of the fibrous structures into peptides. To comprehend this phenomenon, our investigation involved simulations conducted on the α-synuclein peptides through the application of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation techniques under the influence of a 0.1 V/nm electric field. The results obtained from the MD simulations revealed that in the presence of external electric field, the monomer and oligomeric forms of α-synuclein are experienced significant conformational changes which could prevent them from further aggregation. However, as the number of peptide units in the model system increases, forming trimers and tetramers, the stability against the electric field also increases. This enhanced stability in larger aggregates indicates a critical threshold in α-synuclein assembly where the electric field’s effectiveness in disrupting the aggregation diminishes. Therefore, our findings suggest that early diagnosis and intervention could be crucial in preventing PD progression. When α-synuclein predominantly exists in its monomeric or dimeric form, applying even a lower electric field could effectively disrupt the initial aggregation process. Inhibition of α-synuclein fibril formation at early stages might serve as a viable solution to combat PD by halting the formation of more stable and pathogenic α-synuclein fibrils.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of structural biology","volume":"216 3","pages":"Article 108109"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141534667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we evaluated the Gatan Alpine detector, designed for operation at 100 and 200 keV. Compared to the Gatan K3, Alpine demonstrated a significant DQE improvement at these energies, specifically a ∼ 4-fold improvement at Nyquist at 100 keV.

HSA plays a major pharmacokinetic function, serving as a facilitator in the distribution of endobiotics and xenobiotics within the organism. In this paper we report the cryoEM structures of HSA in the apo form and in complex with two ligands (salicylic acid and teniposide) at a resolution of 3.5, 3.7 and 3.4 Å, respectively. We expand upon previously published work and further demonstrate that sub-4 Å maps of ∼60 kDa proteins can be routinely obtained using a 200 kV microscope, employing standard workflows. Most importantly, these maps allowed for the identification of small molecule ligands, emphasizing the practical applicability of this methodology and providing a starting point for subsequent computational modeling and in silico optimization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of structural biology","volume":"216 3","pages":"Article 108105"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1047847724000455/pdfft?md5=a8ac3ab74049b019ec266934fd28d96a&pid=1-s2.0-S1047847724000455-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
