Development and evaluation of a lyophilization protocol for colorimetric RT-LAMP diagnostic assay for COVID-19.

Molecular diagnostics involving nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are regarded as extremely functional tools. During the 2020 global health crisis, efforts intensified to optimize the production and delivery of molecular diagnostic kits for detecting SARS-CoV-2. During this period, RT-LAMP emerged as a significant focus.

microRNA-based Genetic Therapy in Leukemia: Properties, Delivery, and Experimental Models.

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells. In this disease, immature blood cells undergo genetic mutations, leading to excessive replication and reduced cell death compared to healthy cells. In cancer, there may be the activation of oncogenes and the deactivation of tumor suppressor genes that control certain cellular functions.

Lyophilization of Molecular Biology Reactions: A Review.

Molecular biology is a widely used and widespread technique in research and as a laboratory diagnostic tool, aiming to investigate targets of interest from the obtainment, identification, and analysis of genetic material. In this context, methods, such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), real-time PCR, loopmediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and loop-mediated isothermal amplification with reverse transcription (RT-LAMP), can be cited. Such methods use enzymes, buffers, and thermosensitive reagents, which require specific storage conditions.
