MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-23 nucleotide (nt) RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. A key step toward understanding the function of the hundreds of miRNAs identified in animals is to determine their expression during development. Here we performed a detailed analysis of conditions for in situ detection of miRNAs in the zebrafish embryo using locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified DNA probes and report expression patterns for 15 miRNAs in the mouse embryo.

Acetaminophen (AP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug, but its excessive use poses health risks and contributes to environmental contamination. In response to the need for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective detection methods, we developed a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for AP. The sensor was based on a composite of UIO-66-NH (UN) and an MXene (TiC).

Malignant transformation is a rare complication of ovarian mature cystic teratoma that occurs in 1-3% of cases. We herein report a case of squamous cell carcinoma originating from mature cystic teratoma of the ovary diagnosed 10 years after initial tumor detection. A 69-year-old woman presented to the Department of Internal Medicine with a seven-month history of abdominal fullness.

Tissue specimens taken from primary tumors or metastases contain important information for diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Multiplex imaging allows visualization of heterogeneous cell populations, such as immune cells, in tissue samples. Most image processing pipelines first segment cell boundaries and then measure marker expression to assign cell phenotypes.

Here, we apply SuperResNET network analysis of dSTORM single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) to determine how the clathrin endocytosis inhibitors pitstop 2, dynasore and Latrunculin A alter the morphology of clathrin-coated pits. SuperResNET analysis of HeLa and Cos7 cells identifies: small oligomers (Class I); pits and vesicles (Class II); and larger clusters corresponding to fused pits or clathrin plaques (Class III). Pitstop 2 and dynasore induce distinct homogeneous populations of Class II structures in HeLa cells suggesting that they arrest endocytosis at different stages.
