Prostate cancer is one of the most common globally diagnosed cancers in men. It most frequently metastasizes to bones, lymph nodes, lungs, or the liver. There are limited data investigating the impact of prostate cancer on patients who have undergone ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

This study aimed to provide a robust method to extract the bacteria from food samples using glycan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Then, a cost-effective multi-probe genomic biosensor was designed to detect the nuc gene of rapidly in different food matrices.

Before detection can occur, however, it is often necessary to extract and concentrate bacteria. Conventional methods such as centrifugation, filtration, and immunomagnetic separation can often be time-consuming, ineffective, or costly when working with complex food matrices.

Due to their unique colorimetric properties, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can be applied in biosensor development for affordability and accessibility. In this work, a GNP biosensor was designed for visual differentiation between target ( O157:H7) and non-target DNA samples.

Before detection, removal of bacteria from the food matrix and concentration to detectable levels are often essential steps. Although many reviews discuss rapid concentration methods for foodborne pathogens, the use of glycan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is often omitted.
