Despite their importance, probing condensate composition, exchange dynamics, and internal organization remains challenging, particularly without external tags. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can provide a unique label-free window into these mesoscale assemblies, capturing both molecular motion and environmental heterogeneity. Two complementary NMR methodologies enable a comprehensive characterization of condensates directly within their biphasic state. For condensates which are dynamic enough to be observable by NMR, the diffusion-exchange approach, REstricted DIffusion of INvisible speciEs abbreviated as REDIFINE, utilizes the diffusion contrast with chemical exchange to quantify the fraction of molecules partitioned between condensed and dilute phases, determine droplet size and interface permeability, and extract molecular exchange rates across the phase boundary. For more rigid condensates that are NMR invisible, the water-detected semi-solid magnetization-transfer method, CONdensate DEtectioN by SEmi-solid Magnetization Transfer, or in short CONDENSE-MT, exploits the relaxation contrast and proton exchange between condensed biomolecules and dilute phase solvent to monitor condensates onto the bulk water protons, providing access to relative partitioning, molecular tumbling rates, hydration dynamics, and bound-water content. Together, these approaches deliver a multidimensional, quantitative view of condensate structure and dynamics under near-native biphasic conditions without fluorescent or detection tags. Their integration expands the NMR toolbox for studying biomolecular phase separation and establishes a foundation for connecting condensate physicochemical properties with their biological function and pathological misregulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":48787,"journal":{"name":"Jove-Journal of Visualized Experiments","volume":" 230","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hyper-accessible regions usually correlate with active promoters and enhancers, facilitating transcription factor binding and regulatory activity. The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) enables genome-wide profiling of chromatin accessibility with very few cells. However, its implementation in Caenorhabditis elegans is limited by the nematode's rich collagen cuticle that complicates cell dissociation. Here, we present an optimized protocol for performing ATAC-seq in whole worms at the L4 stage. The procedure begins with synchronized cultures and involves cuticle disruption, enzymatic dissociation, and cell-suspension preparation. Permeabilized nuclei are then subjected to Tn5 transposition, followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and purification of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-ready libraries. This protocol requires 30 µL of worm pellet, can be completed in one day, and generates 5,000-9,000 accessibility peaks in the Bristol N2 reference strain. This streamlined workflow can be adapted to other developmental stages or FACS-purified cell populations.

In contrast to the existing works which focused on linear EEG features, the present work concentrates on non-linear features in order to better characterize the finer changes of emotional responding. Inspired by this, in current paper, proposed method is called Combined Weighted Feature Correlation (CWFC) to investigate the effect of non-linear components on the performance of emotion detection. As a first step, the EEG data is collected and pre-processed using bandpass filters to separate the frequency bands such as beta, alpha, gamma, delta, and theta. To detect intricate emotional patterns, features extraction is performed by Independent Component Analysis (ICA), DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). These features can be built as combined features into the CWFCC model to improve its power as well as its overall predictive accuracy. Then apply a Random Forest classifier to see how significant are these combined features. Proposed work integrates GAN data augmentation after optimal feature selection (with an emphasis on LSTM). On the DEAP dataset, this augmentation results in astonishing 88% valence accuracy and 86% arousal accuracy, which improves the recognition accuracy of emotion remarkably. Proposed model achieved valence and arousal accuracy of 62% and 65%, respectively, on the early DEAP without GAN data augmentation. Moreover, this model can distinguish between SEED dataset during Neutral emotional states, Negative, and Positive with an average accuracy of 89%.

This model supports simultaneous analysis of fungal virulence and host transcriptional responses, providing valuable insights into infection dynamics.

Although individual determinants such as age, gender, diabetes, and intraocular pressure (IOP) are recognized risk factors, their collective impact on graft survival has not been systematically quantified. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the role of glaucoma, keratoconus, and key clinical factors in shaping the prognosis of high-risk corneal transplantation. A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases was conducted to identify studies on high-risk corneal transplantation involving glaucoma and keratoconus. Data from 11 observational studies (10,558 cases) were analyzed. Across the included studies, transplant success was generally defined as graft survival with preserved corneal clarity. Subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of demographic and clinical determinants on transplant success. Glaucoma was found to significantly impact transplant success, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.43 (95% CI [1.26, 1.63], p < 0.001), while keratoconus also represented a risk factor (OR = 1.22, 95% CI [1.13, 1.31], p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis for glaucoma patients indicated that younger age (<60 years), female gender, absence of diabetes, and preoperative IOP ≤25 mmHg were favorable factors for transplant success. In keratoconus patients, those under 30 years old and female had better transplant outcomes. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of these results, and minimal publication bias was observed. This study demonstrates that advanced age, male gender, diabetes, and elevated preoperative IOP significantly compromise the success of high-risk corneal transplantation. These findings provide robust evidence to guide patient selection, preoperative optimization, and surgical decision-making in high-risk populations. Incorporating these determinants into clinical practice may enhance graft survival and visual outcomes, while informing the development of tailored management strategies and future clinical guidelines.</p>","PeriodicalId":48787,"journal":{"name":"Jove-Journal of Visualized Experiments","volume":" 230","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
