Thiols are important molecules in the environment and in biological processes. Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) play critical roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. The selective detection of thiols using reaction-based probes and sensors is very important in basic research and in disease diagnosis. This review focuses on the design of fluorescent and colorimetric probes and sensors for thiol detection. Thiol detection methods include probes and labeling agents based on nucleophilic addition and substitution, Michael addition, disulfide bond or Se-N bond cleavage, metal-sulfur interactions and more. Probes for H(2)S are based on nucleophilic cyclization, reduction and metal sulfide formation. Thiol probe and chemosensor design strategies and mechanism of action are discussed in this review.

MicroRNA abundance as a particular biomarker for precisely identifying cancer metastases has emerged in recent years. The expression levels of miRNA are analyzed to get insights into cancer tissue detection and subtypes. Similar to other cancer types, the miRNA shows high levels of target mRNA dysregulation in association with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

Lysosomal pH dysregulation is a critical element of the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). To study the role of lysosomes in pathophysiology, probes to analyze lysosomal size, positioning, and pH are indispensable tools. Here, we developed and characterized a ratiometric genetically encoded lysosomal pH probe, RpH-ILV, targeted to a subpopulation of lysosomal intraluminal vesicles.

Accurate, sensitive and multiplexed detection of food-borne pathogens is crucial for assessing food safety risks. Here we present a digital DNA-amplification-free nucleic acid detection assay to achieve multiplexed and ultrasensitive detection of three food-borne pathogens. We used mesophilic Clostridium butyricum argonaute and magnetic beads in a digital carrier system (d-MAGIC).

Article Synopsis
- Capacitive sensors are essential for superconducting gravimeters due to their precision and minimal drift, prompting the development of a cryogenic front-end circuit to address parasitic capacitance issues.
- The new circuit includes a noiseless superconducting transformer and a low-noise cryogenic preamplifier, significantly boosting the transfer coefficient and reducing displacement noise compared to circuits operating at room temperature.
- Testing of the cryogenic front-end circuit with a superconducting gravimeter showed that the gravity data aligned well with theoretical models, indicating its effectiveness and stability over time.
Chiral amines and amino alcohols form an important category of molecules employed in the designing of new drugs and catalyst. Herein, we present a helically-twisted stereodynamic dialdehyde probe 1 for the determining of absolute configuration, and enantiomeric excess of chiral amine and amino alcohols. Probe 1 is based on the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (PDC) core and undergoes rapid interconversion between the P- and M- conformers.
