Cy3 NHS ester (non-sulfonated): Workflow Guide
2026-08-19
Cy3 NHS ester (non-sulfonated) provides an orange-emitting NHS ester for covalent fluorescent labeling of suitable amino groups on proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides. It is appropriate when DMSO, DMF, or another compatible organic co-solvent can be used, but it is not the preferred choice for water-only workflows or solvent-sensitive proteins.

When Dystonia Mimics Acute Stroke
2026-08-16
The case report Mimicking Acute Stroke describes prochlorperazine-induced hemidystonia in a pregnant patient whose unilateral weakness and dysarthria triggered an emergency stroke evaluation. Its central contribution is a practical diagnostic lesson: medication history, evolving extrapyramidal signs, response to diphenhydramine, and MRI helped distinguish a reversible stroke mimic from acute cerebral ischemia.

Müller Cell PEDF Controls Retinal Neuron Survival
2026-08-12
Younis and colleagues identify a Müller cell–mediated pathway in which opposing Ang-1 and Ang-2 signals regulate Tie-2/PI3K/Akt activity, PEDF production, and retinal neuron survival. The co-culture and loss-of-function design shows why angiopoietin effects on neurons cannot be interpreted independently of retinal glia, particularly under hypoxic stress.
