The diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV) has been challenging particularly in areas far from clinical laboratories. Early diagnosis of pathogens is a prerequisite for the timely treatment and pathogen control. An ideal diagnostic for viral infections should possess high sensitivity, specificity, and flexibility.

Chorioamnionitis profoundly influences multiple fetal organs as well as the immune system. Maternal vitamin D (VitD) supplementation may modulate the immune function of offspring. Here, we sought to uncover the immunomodulatory potential of intrauterine inflammation and VitD in offspring CD4 T cells.

In processes regulated by quorum sensing (QS) bacteria respond to the concentration of autoinducers in the environment to engage in group behaviours. Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is unique as it can foster interspecies communication. Currently, two AI-2 receptors are known, LuxP and LsrB, but bacteria lacking these receptors can also respond to AI-2.

Mammalian sialyltransferases transfer sialic acids onto glycoproteins and glycolipids within the Golgi apparatus. Despite their key role in glycosylation, the study of their enzymatic activities is limited by the lack of appropriate tools. Herein, we developed a quick and sensitive sialyltransferase microplate assay based on the use of the unnatural CMP-SiaNAl donor substrate.

A practical and relatively simple method to identify molecularly imprinted polymers capable of binding proteins via the molecular tagging (epitope-like) approach has been developed. In our two-step method, we first challenge a previously obtained anti-tag molecularly imprinted polymer with a small molecule including the said tag of choice (a biotin derivative as shown here or other) connected to a linker bound to a second biotin moiety. An avidin molecule partially decorated with fluorescent labels is then allowed to bind the available biotin derivative associated with the polymer matrix.
