Designing lentiviral gene vectors

Lentiviral gene vectors are an important tool in gene therapy and basic biomedical research. They are transducing viral particles, normally replication defective, which are generated using the packaging machinery of lentiviruses. These vectors are used to deliver the encapsidated payload genes to the nuclei of the target cells, offering stable transgene expression in many settings in vitro and in vivo. Successful generation of high-titre lentiviral vectors capable of efficiently expressing transgenes over long period of time is governed by a number of vector design rules, some of which are common to all gene vectors while others are specific to lentiviral vectors. Construction of lentiviral vectors with the cargo genes driven by tissue-specific promoters is a particular challenge. This review focuses both on the guiding principles and the technical know-how of the lentiviral gene vector design.Published versio

Properties of Coatings Deposited from Filtered Vacuum Arc Plasma with HEA Cathode

Ti-V-Zr-Nb-Hf metallic and nitride films were deposited by filtered vacuum arc plasma from a single equiatomic HEA cathode. The composition, microstructure, mechanical properties, thermal stability and corrosion properties were investigated. The deposited metallic film has a two-phase structure with bcc and hcp-lattice. The nitride films were found to have only an fcc structure. All coatings have nano-grained structures, with grain sizes 5 nm for metallic and 36 nm for nitride. The nitride coatings have a compressive stress of around – 12,5 GPa, high hardness ~ 40 GPa and elastic modulus ~ 450 GPa. After annealing in vacuum in range 400-1200 °C, 3 h for every temperature, hardness decreased to 25 GPa. It was found that both the metallic and nitride coatings exhibited their best corrosion resistance than steel samples in a 3,5 wt. % NaCl solution. The metallic coatings showed better corrosion resistance than the nitride coatings. When you are citing the document, use the following link http://essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/3532

Influence of Deuterium Ion Implantation on the Structure and Hardness of Nanocrystalline Films

Titanium nitride based coatings are very attractive for protection of materials in extreme conditions. However, their behavior under different kinds of irradiation is not entirely well understood. In this work, the influence of ion-implanted deuterium on changes of the structure and mechanical properties TiZrN, TiAlSiN, TiAlYN films were investigated. Films were deposited by filtered vacuum arc plasma technique. After deposition all films were irradiated at room temperature with 12 keV D+ ions to dose 1 1018 D/cm2. Composition, structure and nanohardness of the coatings were determined by X-ray fluorescence method, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation. The effusion of the implanted deuterium was studied by thermal desorption spectroscopy. It is shown that irradiation by deuterium ions does not make structural changes in multicomponent films. Deuterium thermal desorption spectrum of various coatings are substantially different. Nanohardness of all investigated coatings after irradiation and thermal desorption are decreased.

Effects of Deuterium Implantation Dose on Hardness and Deuterium Desorption Temperature Range from High Entropy TiVZrNbHf and TiVZrNbHfN Coatings

High entropy TiVZrNbHf and TiVZrNbHfN coatings prepared by filtered vacuum arc plasma from a single equiatomic HEA cathode. Similarly were obtained titanium and titanium nitride coatings. The structure of coatings was investigated by X-ray analysis and the changes in nanohardness by nanoindentation method. The effusion of the implanted deuterium was studied by thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). It is shown that the structure of effusion spectrum is a function of deuterium dose. With increasing implantation dose deuterium desorption temperature range from coatings is expanding in the direction of lowering the temperature and the temperature of the peak maximum gas emission gradually shifts to lower temperatures. For nitride coatings deuterium desorption starts at about room temperature and the maximum rate of desorption at a temperature of ~500 K. When irradiation doses more than 5×1017 D/cm2 hardness of nitride coatings decreased by half. Hardness reduction of coatings is caused by occurrence hydride structural formations in coatings.

Formation of media competence of future teachers using media texts

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the media competence of future teachers, where the authors propose to use media texts of different types as the main tool. It provides detailed analysis of the views of scientists on the essence and content of the definition of “media competence of the individual”, which is interpreted today in line with the psychological, pedagogical, and technological approaches. As a result of the ascertaining section, a predominantly low level of the formation of the media competence of future teachers was determined, which necessitated the theoretical substantiation and implementation of a number of pedagogical conditions. These include: the formation of a positive motivation among future specialists for the use of media in the educational process; organization of an educational media environment in higher education institutions aimed at developing media competence among future teachers; attraction of future specialists to purposeful, creative media activity and the creation of their own media product. The research introduced the testing of such conditions which provided for the systematic work of students with media texts of various types (posts on social networks and comments to them, movies, cartoons, videos of classes, lessons, and other forms of work with students, webinars, scientific, educational, and other texts in the open access, audio recordings (music, songs, audio books), iconic signs (photos, drawings, infographics)). A number of effective media texts have been identified and introduced into the educational process from the point of view of the formation of media competence of future teachers

Methods of Transfection with Messenger RNA Gene Vectors

Non-viral gene delivery vectors with messenger RNA (mRNA) as a carrier of genetic information are among the staple gene transfer vectors for research in gene therapy, gene vaccination and cell fate reprogramming. As no passage of genetic cargo in and out of the nucleus is required, mRNA-based vectors typically offer the following five advantages: 1) fast start of transgene expression; 2) ability to express genes in non-dividing cells with an intact nuclear envelope; 3) insensitivity to the major gene silencing mechanisms, which operate in the nucleus; 4) absence of potentially mutagenic genomic insertions; 5) high cell survival rate after transfection procedures, which do not need to disturb nuclear envelope. In addition, mRNA-based vectors offer a simple combination of various transgenes through mixing of several mRNAs in a single multi-gene cocktail or expression of a number of proteins from a single mRNA molecule using internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes), ribosome skipping sequences and proteolytic signals. However, on the downside, uncontrolled extracellular and intracellular decay of mRNA can be a substantial hurdle for mRNA-mediated gene transfer. Procedures for mRNA delivery are analogous to DNA transfer methods, which are well-established. In general, there are three actors in the gene delivery play, namely, the vector, the cell and the transfer environment. The desired outcome, that is, the efficient delivery of a gene to a target cell population, depends on the efficient interaction of all three parties. Thus, the vector should be customised for the target cell population and presented in a form that is resistant to the aggressive factors in the delivery milieu. At the same time, the delivery environment should be adjusted to be more vector-friendly and more cell-friendly. The recipient cells should be subjected to a specific regimen or artificially modified to become receptive to gene transfer with a particular vector and resistant to the environment. As a rule, barriers outside tissues (e.g. mucus) and an aggressive intercellular environment complicate gene delivery in vivo, which, therefore, requires more complex gene transfer procedures than transfection of tissue culture cells. This review is focused on transfection methods for mRNA vectors, which rely either on the forceful propulsion of mRNA inside the target cells (e.g. by electroporation or gene gun) or on the complexing of mRNA with other substances (e.g. polycationic transfection reagents) for delivery via endocytic pathways

CollabGraph: A graph-based collaborative search summary visualisation

Currently, the search history in search engines is presented in a list view of some combination of enumerated results by title, URL, or search query. However, this classical list view is not ideal in collaborative search environments as it does not always assist users in understanding collaborators' search history results and the project's status. We present CollabGraph, a system for graph-based summary visualization in collaborative search learning environments. Our system differentiates from existing solutions by visualizing the summary of the collaboration results in a graph and having its core personal knowledge graphs (PKGs) for each user. Our research questions concentrate around the CollabGraph's usefulness, preference, and enhancement of participation of student's and teacher's feedback compared to the list view of search history results. We evaluate our approach with an online questionnaire in six different project-based searching as learning (SaL) scenarios (LSs). The evaluation of users' experience indicates that the CollabGraph is useful, highly likeable, and could benefit users' participation and teacher's feedback by providing more precise insights into the project status. Our approach helps users better perceive about everyone's work, and it is a highly preferable feature alongside the list view. In addition, the results demonstrate that graph summary visualizations, such as the CollabGraph, are more suitable for closed-end scenarios and collaborative projects with many participants

The impact of climatic changes on forming the corn productivity in the western forest-steppe of Ukraine

Currently, the trend of actively accelerating the pace of global warming has a negative impact on the current situation in the field of agriculture in many parts of the globe. According to current forecasts, the consequences caused by it will continue to intensify in the coming years. Many facts testify to the predominance of the negative consequences of these influences, including: an increase in temperature regimes, an increase in their variability, an increase in the amount and frequency of precipitation, an increase in periods of drought, and the presence of extreme weather phenomena. In addition, climate changes, increased humidity and CO2 in the air are making adjustments to crop yields. The main fodder crop in the world is corn, therefore adaptation of agricultural conditions to climatic fluctuations becomes an urgent stage for farmers. Today, corn meets demand not only in the food industry, but also in medicine and energy supply. The purpose of the work is to determine changes in the number of growing seasons and interphase periods of corn, to assess the photosynthetic productivity of crops and to forecast yield indicators. During the research, the method of comparison, monitoring, as well as observation and empirical research was used. The scenario of possible climate changes RCP 6.0 for the period until 2050 was used. The dynamic model of crop productivity, developed by A.M. Polovyi, was used as a research tool. The article presents the results of assessing the impact of climate change on the formation of corn productivity in the Western Forest Steppe of Ukraine. The value of the obtained results lies in their application in the development and improvement of the corn cultivation model in view of the widest list of climatic deviation
