Stochastic sensing was employed for pattern recognition of HER-1 in biological fluids. Nanostructured materials such as 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin, maltodextrin and α-cyclodextrin were used to modify diamond paste for stochastic sensing of HER-1. Pattern recognition of HER-1 in biological fluids was performed in a linear concentration range between 5.60 × 10(-11) and 9.72 × 10(-7 )mg ml(-1). The lower limits of determination (10(-12 )mg ml(-1) magnitude order) were recorded when maltodextrin and α-cyclodextrin were used for stochastic sensing. The pattern recognition test of HER-1 in biological fluids samples shows high reliability for both qualitative and quantitative assay.

Oncolytic viruses represent a promising class of immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of malignant tumors. The proposed mechanism of action of various oncolytic viruses has initially been explained by the ability of such viruses to selectively lyse tumor cells without damaging healthy ones. Recently, there have emerged more studies determining the effect of the antiviral immunostimulating mechanisms on the effectiveness of treatment in cancer patients.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) include atherosclerosis, which is an inflammatory disease of large and medium vessels that leads to atherosclerotic plaque formation. The key factors contributing to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis include the pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon (IFN)α and IFNγ and the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Together, they trigger the activation of IFN regulatory factors (IRFs) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)s.

There is a persistent need for effective sensors to detect rare earth element ions (REEIs) due to their effects on human health and the environment. Thus, a simple and efficient fluorescence-based detection method for REEIs that offers convenience, flexibility, versatility, and efficiency is essential for ensuring environmental safety, food quality, and biomedical applications. In this study, 6-aza-2-thiothymine-gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs) and bovine serum albumin/3-mercaptopropionic acid-AuNCs (BSA/MPA-AuNCs) were utilized to detect 14 REEIs (Sc, Gd, Lu, Y, Ce, Pr, Yb, Dy, Tm, Sm, Ho, Tb, La, and Eu), resulting in the creation of a simple, sensitive, and multi-target fluorescence sensor array detection platform.

NLRP3 is an inflammasome seeding pattern recognition receptor that initiates a pro-inflammatory signalling cascade in response to changes in intracellular homeostasis that are indicative of bacterial infection or tissue damage. Several types of post-translational modification (PTM) have been identified that are added to NLRP3 to regulate its activity. Recent progress has revealed that NLRP3 is subject to a further type of PTM, S-acylation (or palmitoylation), which involves the reversible addition of long-chain fatty acids to target cysteine residues by opposing sets of enzymes.

Scavenger receptors (SRs) serve as essential pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune system, playing multiple roles in the immunity of fish. They contribute to defense mechanisms against pathogenic infections through various pathways. However, research on the functions of SRs in the immune response of Spotted sea bass remains limited.
