Despite the progress of treatment in gastric cancer (GC), the overall outcomes remain poor in patients with advanced diseases, underscoring the urgency to develop more effective treatment strategies. BH3-mimetic drugs, which inhibit the pro-survival BCL2 family proteins, have demonstrated great therapeutic potential in cancer therapy. Although previous studies have implicated a role of targeting the cell survival pathway in GC, the contribution of different pro-survival BCL2 family proteins in promoting survival and mediating resistance to current standard therapies in GC remains unclear.

A two-color fluorescent sensing strategy based on a functionalized tetrahedral DNAzyme nanotweezer (FTDN) was developed to detect ochratoxin A (OTA) utilizing the multifunctional properties of DNA nanotechnology. The FTDN enables rapid OTA detection directly through a Cy5 fluorescent group, modified to respond to the target signal. Additionally, FTDN exhibits DNAzyme cutting activity in the presence of Mg ions, enabling it to traverse DNA nanoflower-functionalized magnetic beads.

The ultrasensitive sensor with three optical response mechanisms was proposed for the determination of trace amounts of norovirus using a 3-in-1 GCSNAs (a gap-containing spherical nucleic acid nanoparticles) probe. A simple and highly sensitive three-mode biosensor with Raman, colorimetric, and fluorescence functions was proposed and implemented using the GCSNAs probe and a DNA hydrogel for norovirus detection. When the virus exists, the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a was activated by double-stranded dsDNA (dsDNA) generated by reverse transcription and recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification (RT-RPA) to degrade the DNA hydrogel/GCSNA composition and release the three-in-one (3-in-1) probe-GCSNA, realising the triple ultrasensitive detection of norovirus.

Parabens (PBs), especially propylparaben, commonly used in consumer products, pose environmental and health concerns. This study explored propylparaben's cytotoxicity on HTR-8/SVneo human trophoblast cells, revealing significant dose-dependent cytotoxic effects, particularly post 48-h exposure. Elevated propylparaben levels triggered apoptosis, evidenced by increased Bax and activated Caspase-3, and induced the G0/G1 cell cycle arrest.

Human norovirus (HuNoV) is a leading cause of foodborne diseases worldwide, making rapid and accurate detection crucial for prevention and control. In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas13a system, known for its single-base resolution in RNA recognition and unique collateral cleavage activity, is particularly suitable for sensitive and rapid RNA detection. However, isothermal amplification-based CRISPR/Cas13 assays often require an external transcription step, complicating the detection process.

Organophosphorus compounds are widely distributed and highly toxic to the environment and living organisms. The current detection of organophosphorus compounds is based on a single-mode method, which makes it challenging to achieve good portability, accuracy, and sensitivity simultaneously. This study designed a multifunctional microfluidic chip to develop a dual-mode biosensor employing a DNA hydrogel as a carrier and aptamers as recognition probes for the colorimetric/electrochemical detection of malathion, an organophosphorus compound.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has great potential for the analysis of molecules adsorbed on metals with rough surfaces or substrates with micro-/nanostructures. Plasmonic coupling between metal nanoparticles and the morphology of the rough metal surface can produce "hot spots" that enhance Raman scattering by adsorbed molecules, typically at micro- to nanomolar concentrations, although high enhancement factors can also facilitate single-molecule detection. This phenomenon is widely applicable for chemical analysis and sensing in various fields.

In the present study, we address the limitations of conventional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques for sensitive and stable detection of melamine in food products, especially dairy. To overcome these challenges, we developed a novel SERS-active substrate by incorporating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto carboxyl-functionalized two-dimensional (2D) MXene material doped with nitrides, specifically Au-TiN-COOH. Our strategy leverages the unique physicochemical properties of MXene, a class of atomically thin, 2D transition metal carbides/nitrides, with tunable surface functionalities.

Introduction: Insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) is a newly characterized sensitive and specific immunohistochemical marker for neuroendocrine (NE) tumors. Whereas more traditional NE markers, such as chromogranin A and synaptophysin, are cytoplasmic, INSM1 is uniquely nuclear and thus could serve as a useful addition to NE tumor workup. While application of immunohistochemical studies to cytology specimens is becoming increasingly relevant, knowledge of the effects of the certain fixatives as well as the pattern and intensity of immunoexpression are important considerations.

A multisignal method for the sensitive detection of norovirus based on Mn paramagnetic relaxation and nanocatalysis was developed. This dual-modality sensing platform was based on the strong relaxation generated by cracked Au@MnO nanoparticles (NPs) and their intrinsic enzyme-like activity. Ascorbic acid rapidly cracked the MnO layer of Au@MnO NPs to release Mn(II), resulting in the relaxation modality being in a "switch-on" state.

Background: DNA tweezers, classified as DNA nanomachines, have gained prominence as multifunctional biosensors due to their advantages, including a straightforward structure, response mechanism, and high programmability. While the DNA tweezers demonstrate simultaneous, rapid, and stable responses to different targets, their detection sensitivity requires enhancement. Some small molecules, such as mycotoxins, often require more sensitive detection due to their extremely high toxicity.

We explored a novel preparation method for MOF-on-MOF heterostructured material (Zn-BTEC@ZIF-8). This prepared heterostructured material acts as a container, capable of adsorbing tetracycline hydrochloride molecules into its backbone through hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. This phenomenon triggers an aggregation induced emission (AIE) effect, leading to the formation of luminescent bodies.

An NiPt nanozyme-mediated relaxation and colorimetric sensor is developed for dual-modality detection of norovirus (NoV). The relaxation modality is based on the "catalase-like" activity of the NiPt nanozyme, which adjusts the hydrogen peroxide (HO) mediated Fe (II)/Fe(III) conversion, thereby changing the relaxation signal. Poly-γ-glutamic acid (MW ≈ 1w) can enhance the relaxivity of Fe(III) (r = 7.
