Poly(A) messenger RNA is generally purified from total RNA using oligo(dT) cellulose affinity chromatography or centrifugation through spin columns. We present a new method for rapid purification of poly(A) mRNA using oligo(dT) probes attached to superparamagnetic beads. By magnetic separation, washing, and elution, pure mRNA is obtained from living cells within 10 minutes. This procedure works for crude RNA preparations or cell lysates that would otherwise clog standard oligo(dT) cellulose column systems. The present method reduces the risk of degradation, is highly efficient, and can easily be scaled up or down.

Bone is a dynamic tissue that serves several purposes in the human body, including storing calcium, forming blood cells, and protecting and supporting the body's organs. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is secreted into the circulation by osteoblasts, the cells responsible for making bone. It attaches to the surface of osteoblast cells or matrix vesicles.

Accurate identification of cancer cells under complex physiological environments holds great promise for noninvasive diagnosis and personalized medicine. Herein, we developed dual-aptamer-based DNA logic-gated series lamp probes (Apt-SLP) by coupling a DNA cell-classifier (DCC) with a self-powered signal-amplifier (SSA), enabling rapid and sensitive identification of cancer cells in a blood sample. DCC is endowed with two extended-aptamer based modules for recognizing the two cascade cell membrane receptors and serves as a DNA logic gate to pinpoint a particular and narrow subpopulation of cells from a larger population of similar cells.

Metastasis is the trigger of death in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) patients, yet the specific mechanisms at play are still largely enigmatic. While the involvement of LARP1 in the metastatic process of various cancers has been documented, there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding its potential influence on ATC metastasis. Molecular studies probed LARP1 expression within ATC cells, with subsequent in vitro experiments examining the effects of LARP1 on ATC cell metastasis and the mTOR signaling cascade.

Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with coronary artery disease (CAD) being the primary contributor. Periodontitis, a common non-communicable disease, has been associated with an increased risk of CVD. Previous studies have suggested a link between the severity of periodontitis and the degree of coronary artery obstruction.
