Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is the most economically important veterinary pathogen because of its highly infectious nature and the devastating effects the virus has on the livestock industry. Rapid diagnostic methods are needed for detection and typing of FMDV serotypes and differentiation from other viruses causing vesicular diseases. We developed a microarray-based test that uses a FMD DNA chip containing 155 oligonucleotide probes, 35-45 base pair (bp) long, virus-common and serotype-specific, designed from the VP3-VP1-2A region of the genome. A set of two forward primers and one reverse primer were also designed to allow amplification of approximately 1100 bp of target sequences from this region. The amplified target was labelled with Alexa-Fluor 546 dye and applied to the FMD DNA chip. A total of 23 different FMDV strains representing all seven serotypes were detected and typed by the FMD DNA chip. Microarray technology offers a unique capability to identify multiple pathogens in a single chip.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is known for its highly contagious properties among cloven-hoofed animals resulting in significant morbidity rates. Incursions of this disease have caused significant losses in affected countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, even within EU countries which resulted in significant financial losses. This study is aimed at addressing existing limitations by creating a diagnostic method using aptamer-based assay.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been studied and used as vaccines to control foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Mast cells (MCs) express various pattern recognition receptors that recognize pathogens and secrete numerous cytokines to initiate and modulate immune responses. Our previous study showed that bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) can recognize foot-and-mouth disease virus-like particles (FMDV-VLPs) to differentially express various cytokines and that histone acetylation can regulate the cytokines secreted during BMMC recognition of FMDV-VLPs.

Article Synopsis
- Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare condition mostly affecting women, characterized by various arterial problems that can lead to serious health issues like hypertension and stroke.* -
- This study used genetic data from FMD patients and healthy controls to identify 18 gene regulatory networks, with four forming an FMD-related supernetwork affecting arterial health.* -
- By disrupting this supernetwork in mice, researchers observed symptoms of FMD, revealing insights into the disease's mechanisms and potential new treatment options.*

Outbreaks of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) have major economic impact on the global livestock industry by affecting the animal health and product safety. L-protease, a non-structural protein of FMDV, is a papain-like cysteine proteinase involved in viral protein processing as well as cleavage of host proteins for promoting the virus growth. FMDV synthesizes two forms of leader proteinase, L (Lab and Lb), where the deletion of Lab is lethal and Lb deletion is reported to be attenuated.

Genome editing technologies based on DNA-dependent polymerases (DDPs) could offer several benefits compared with other types of editors to install diverse edits. Here, we develop click editing, a genome writing platform that couples the advantageous properties of DDPs with RNA-programmable nickases to permit the installation of a range of edits, including substitutions, insertions and deletions. Click editors (CEs) leverage the 'click'-like bioconjugation ability of HUH endonucleases with single-stranded DNA substrates to covalently tether 'click DNA' (clkDNA) templates encoding user-specifiable edits at targeted genomic loci.
