Today, diagnosis of cancer and also therapeutic choice imply many specialized practitioners. They are generally located at different places and have to take the best decision as promptly as possible with the difficulty of CT-scan or MRI interpretation. Argonaute 3D is a tool that easily overcomes these issues, thanks to a cooperative solution based on virtual reality. An experimentation, where four practitioners met virtually throughout France, allowed to assess the interest of this solution.

Prefrontal TNRC6A mediates anxiety-like behaviour by regulating CRF through the maintenance of miR-21-3p stability.

Article Synopsis
- Anxiety is an emotional response marked by worry and tension, potentially linked to the downregulation of TNRC6A in the brain's prefrontal cortex (PFC) following stress.
- Inhibition of TNRC6A increases anxious behaviors in mice, as it maintains the stability of miR-21-3p, a microRNA that can mitigate anxiety when present in higher levels.
- The study highlights a new molecular mechanism, showing that low TNRC6A levels reduce miR-21-3p stability, leading to increased corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) levels and consequently, heightened anxiety-like behaviors.
Nuclear miR-451a activates KDM7A and leads to cetuximab resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Cetuximab resistance has been a major challenge for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients receiving targeted therapy. However, the mechanism that causes cetuximab resistance, especially microRNA (miRNA) regulation, remains unclear. Growing evidence suggests that miRNAs may act as "nuclear activating miRNAs" for targeting promoter regions or enhancers related to target genes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression profiles of PIWI-like protein- 2 (PIWIL2), and HepPar1 and their immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), and determine their correlation with clinicopathological parameters of this type of cancer to determine their diagnostic value in combination.
Methods: Seventy-five patients with HCC were assessed for the expression of PIWIL2 in serum and tissue using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and IHC was performed for PIWIL2 and HepPar1 was performed on all patients.
Results: A statistically significantly higher level of PIWIL2 was found in HCC compared to controls (p≤0.
A Fast and Sensitive One-Tube SARS-CoV-2 Detection Platform Based on RTX-PCR and Argonaute.

Since SARS-CoV-2 is a highly transmissible virus, alternative reliable, fast, and cost-effective methods are still needed to prevent virus spread that can be applied in the laboratory and for point-of-care testing. Reverse transcription real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is currently the gold criteria for detecting RNA viruses, which requires reverse transcriptase to reverse transcribe viral RNA into cDNA, and fluorescence quantitative PCR detection was subsequently performed. The frequently used reverse transcriptase is thermolabile; the detection process is composed of two steps: the reverse transcription reaction at a relatively low temperature, and the qPCR performed at a relatively high temperature, moreover, the RNA to be detected needs to pretreated if they had advanced structure.

The DNA-guided (gDNA) Argonaute from Thermus thermophilus (TtAgo) has little potential for nucleic acid detection and gene editing due to its poor dsDNA cleavage activity at relatively low temperature. Herein, the dsDNA cleavage activity of TtAgo is enhanced by using 2'-fluorine (2'F)-modified gDNA and developes a novel nucleic acid testing strategy. This study finds that the gDNA with 2'F-nucleotides at the 3'-end (2'F-gDNA) can promote the assembly of the TtAgo-guide-target ternary complex significantly by increasing its intermolecular force to target DNA and TtAgo, thereby providing ≈40-fold activity enhancement and decreasing minimum reaction temperature from 65 to 60 °C.
