Currently, there is neither a published ELISA method nor it is clear whether chemiluminescence substrates would provide better sensitivity vs. colorimetric substrates for measuring human IL-23-a recently described Type-1 immunity associated cytokine. Initially, we optimized a colorimetric ELISA using p-nitro-phenyl phosphate substrate. Subsequently, we compared it with chemiluminescence substrates that provided approximately 5-fold enhanced sensitivity (mean sensitivity; 26.3 pg/mL vs. colorimetric assay, 131 pg/mL; p < 0.01). Both methods were reliable, with <10% inter- and intra-assay variations. We then found that the chemiluminescence method was useful in situations where human IL-23 was not readily measurable by a colorimetric method.

Background: β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg), a major allergen in dairy products, can trigger severe allergic reactions and even fatal outcomes in infants. In this work, we develop a new low background current redox recycling strategy by conjugating the electrochemical mediator to trimetallic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs)-dispersed graphene as the signal tag, which is coupled with DNAzyme amplifications to construct highly catalytic and ultrasensitive β-Lg aptasensor.
Results: Target β-Lg molecules bind aptamers in DNAzyme/aptamer duplexes to release active DNAzymes to initiate cyclic cleavage of hairpin substrates.

Background: Sensitive and accurate detection of important cancer markers MicroRNAs (miRNAs) is critical to prevent and treat disease. Among many detection techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) has attracted much attention due to its advantages such as narrow spectral peak, low interference and non-destructive detection. Interestingly, non-noble metal SERS substrates show good prospects due to their outstanding spectral reproducibility and biocompatibility.

Heavy metal contamination in water bodies has raised global concerns due to its significant threats to both public health and ecosystem. Copper (Cu), one of the most widely used metals, is also an essential trace element in physiological systems. Excessive intake of Cu from water can cause toxicity, potentially resulting in serious health risks.

Flexible perovskite photovoltaic devices are typically constructed on flexible polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates, which exhibit near-ultraviolet absorption and high visible-light reflection, leading to significant optical losses. To address this issue, a reusable optical-management sticker tailored for flexible substrates has been proposed in this work. The sticker incorporates a light-shifting material that converts near-ultraviolet light into visible light, enabling photoelectric conversion of near-ultraviolet light.

Naturally evolved and synthetically designed forms of compartmentalization benefit encapsulated function by increasing local concentrations of substrates and protecting cargo from destabilizing environments and inhibitors. Crucial to understanding the fundamental principles of compartmentalization are experimental systems enabling the measurement of the permeability rates of small molecules. Here, we report the experimental measurement of the small-molecule permeability of a 40 nm icosahedral bacterial microcompartment shell.
