In-situ fixation (ISF): A rapid, reusable, and high-throughput nucleic acid extraction method for plant molecular analysis.

Rapid, sensitive, and high-throughput nucleic acid testing (NAT) is crucial for diverse applications in plant breeding and crop protection, including genotyping, transgenic detection, and pathogen diagnosis. However, efficient plant DNA/RNA extraction methods suitable for point-of-care testing remain a significant challenge due to the complex plant cell composition. Here, we present a novel in-situ fixation (ISF) method that eliminates the need for sample grinding, water bath, centrifugation, and pipetting, enabling rapid (6 min) and high-throughput (96 samples) nucleic acid extraction from plant leaves.

CENPF (+) cancer cells promote malignant progression of early-stage TP53 mutant lung adenocarcinoma.

The prevention and precise treatment of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) characterized by small nodules (stage IA) remains a significant challenge for clinicians, which is due largely to the limited understanding of the oncogenic mechanisms spanning from preneoplasia to invasive adenocarcinoma. Our study highlights the pivotal role of cancer cells exhibiting high expression of centromere protein F (CENPF), driven by TP53 mutations, which become increasingly prevalent during the transition from preneoplasia to invasive LUAD. Biologically, cancer cells (CENPF+) exhibited robust proliferative and stem-like capabilities, thereby propelling the malignant progression of early-stage LUAD.
