Why FCCP does not cause mitochondrial membrane depolarization?

I'm using JC-1 to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential by laser confocal microscopy. I used 100uM of FCCP as a positive control. Surprisingly, it caused lower green to red ratio and was...

Any evidence showing human eggs undergo stress in vitro?

Well, we read a lot about how in vitro manipulation of oocytes can induce stress and therefore reduce their potential or as people call it "quality". I've been looking into the studies mostly,...

Why negatively charged silver nanoparticles have shown greater anti-biofilm activity against S. aureus biofilms compared to P. aeruginosa?

Is it related to the charge of S. aureus biofilm which has weak negative charges due to the presence of D-alanine esters in their teichoic acids? Both S. aureus and P. aeruginosa strains were...

Do I take the average size or the peak with the highest concentration in DLS (particle size analyzer) measurement for colloidal silver nanoparticles?

Currently I am synthesizing AgNPs from bacteria. I did the DLS analysis and zeta potential measurement. The most predominant size in my sample was 118 nm and the average around 60 nm. The Zeta...

What is the best concentration and volume of PVP to use it as a capping agent in silver nanoparticles biosynthesis?

My reaction consist of 50ml of 1mM AgNO3 mixed with 10 ml of the bacterial supernatant, now I want to add PVP to prevent agglomeration and increase the zeta potential.
