Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, and early diagnosis is crucial for clinical management. However, the easy and rapid on-site diagnostic for HPV genotyping remains challenging. Here, we develop a Cas12a-based fluorescent microfluidic detection system for diagnosing six HPV subtypes (HPV6, HPV11, HPV16, HPV18, HPV31, and HPV33).

The pathological mechanism of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) involves ischemic lesions in the hippocampus. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) serves roles in the promotion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, angiogenesis and enhances blood flow to ischemic regions. However, the effect of PGE1 on cognitive function in VCI rats and the underlying mechanism are unknown.

Previous studies have demonstrated that prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) has a neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemia. However, it remains unknown whether PGE1 promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis after ischemic stroke. In this study, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to permanently distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).
