Background: Point of need diagnostics provide efficient testing capability for remote or austere locations, decreasing the time to answer by minimizing travel or sample transport requirements. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is an appealing technology for point-of-need diagnostics due to its rapid analysis time and minimal instrumentation requirements.

Methods: Here, we designed and optimized nine LAMP assays that are sensitive and specific to targeted bacterial select agents including Bacillus anthracis, Francisella tularensis, Yersinia pestis, and Brucella spp.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, is a group of persistent and recurrent gastrointestinal disorders. Despite the prevalence of these conditions, no studies have been conducted to examine the connection between altered human blood cell phenotypes and the underlying mechanisms of IBD pathogenesis. By utilizing summary statistics from genome-wide association studies, we executed a systematic two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) investigation on 91 genetically determined blood cell perturbation traits in relation to 3 separate IBD phenotypes.

A significant advancement in synthetic biology is the development of synthetic gene circuits with predictive Boolean logic. However, there is no universally accepted or applied statistical test to analyze the performance of these circuits. Many basic statistical tests fail to capture the predicted logic (OR, AND, etc.

In the context of survival analysis, data-driven neural network-based methods have been developed to model complex covariate effects. While these methods may provide better predictive performance than regression-based approaches, not all can model time-varying interactions and complex baseline hazards. To address this, we propose Case-Base Neural Networks (CBNNs) as a new approach that combines the case-base sampling framework with flexible neural network architectures.
