Pyrene-modified adenosines in the dangling positions of G-rich oligodeoxynucleotides undergo pi-stacking in their G-quadruplex formation, but not in their single strands, which can be characterized by fluorescence lambda(max) changes that occur on stacking.

Isothermal, enzyme-free amplification techniques, such as the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), have gained significant attention for mRNA analysis. Despite their potential, these methods still face challenges, including false positives and low amplification efficiency. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a confined catalytic hairpin assembly and hybridization chain reaction (CHA-HCR) system that utilizes cholesterol-modified hairpin probes to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of mRNA detection.

It is challenging to study metabolic interaction between the different cell types in a tissue with the techniques that are currently available. Here we describe a multimodal imaging pipeline that allows cell type identification and nanoscale tracing of stable isotope-labeled compounds.

Objectives: Mesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen that is overexpressed in various cancers, and its interaction with tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. The serum MSLN expression level can be detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; however, non-invasive visualization of its expression at the tumor site is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a molecular probe for imaging MSLN expression through positron emission tomography (PET).

This work aims to evaluate the potential and limits of adhesiveness measurement using a texturometer to assess the ropiness of acid dairy gels for starter selection. Commercial yogurts of various formulations and textures were used to assess the ability of adhesiveness to detect ropiness and to compare performance of different probes. Chemically acidified gels using different concentrations of glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) were tested to determine the effect of pH on adhesiveness.

Background: A growing number of in vitro and in vivo studies suggest the application of probiotics as a natural approach to maintaining oral health. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Levilactobacillus brevis CD2 (CNCM I-5566), a multifunctional probiotic frequently used in oral medicine, in preserving or improving several recognized oral health indicators.
Methods: Thirty consenting healthy adults were randomized to receive four lozenges per day of L.
