A set of 15mer linear oligoDNA probes bearing a modified nucleoside conjugated with a polyamine/fluorescein/anthraquinone reporting moiety were synthesized. In a single-stranded form, the fluorescence generated by the excitation of fluorescein was efficiently quenched, while marked recovery of the fluorescence was observed when the probes formed duplexes with the fully complementary strand.

Dysfunction in the SHP1 enzyme can cause cancers and many diseases, so it is of great significance to develop novel small molecule SHP1 inhibitors. Through continuous monitoring of metabolic and targeted processes of SHP1 inhibitors in real-time, we can evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of the inhibitors, further optimize drug design, and explore SHP1 biology. Indoloquinoxaline is an important class of N-containing heterocycle, which has been studied and applied in the pharmacological field and in optoelectronic materials.

Improper use of antibiotics has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance, or "superbugs," outpacing the discovery of new antibiotics. The lack of rapid, high-throughput screening methods is a major bottleneck in discovery novel antibiotics. Traditional methods consume significant amounts of samples, making it challenging to discover new antibiotics from limited natural product extracts.

In this research, a novel detection method employing rare-earth upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) as the core, coated with MnO nanosheets is designed, which formed a color and fluorescence dual-responsive UCNP composite material, MnO-modified NaYF:Yb,Tm@NaYF. By enabling both colorimetric and fluorescence methods simultaneously, this composite material allows for the detection of glucose concentration under different conditions, while exhibiting strong resistance to environmental interference, chemical stability, and accuracy. To further enhance the sensitivity of the detection method, a photonic crystals (PCs)-PDMS array where polymethyl methacrylate PCs are deposited onto a substrate composed of PDMS-glass slice with hydrophobic surfaces is developed.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an ideal model for exploring the mechanisms of the virus; it is also an optimal vector for developing vector vaccines and for cancer therapy. A reverse genetic system of NDV Mukteswar strain controlled by eukaryotic cellular RNA polymerase II promoter was established by reverse genetics technology. Based on the reverse genetic system, an open reading frame of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene be inserted between the P and M genes of the viral genome and flanked with the gene start (GS) sequence and gene end (GE) sequence to form an independent transcription unit.

Chemotherapy is essential for treating tumors, including head and neck cancer (HNC). However, the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs limit their widespread use. Therefore, a targeted delivery system that can transport the drug to the pathological site while minimizing damage to healthy tissues is urgently needed.
