Herein, we present a colorimetric sensing strategy for the identification and quantification of tumor-associated miRNAs based on dual DNAzyme amplification. In this sensing ensemble, the substrate portion of the Pb-dependent 8-17 DNAzyme combines with the G-quadruplex portion to form a hairpin substrate strand. The two split 8-17 DNAzyme strands are partially complementary to the substrate strand and serve as a recognition unit for binding the target miRNA.

Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of foodborne zoonotic infections worldwide, shows a paradoxical ability to survive despite its susceptibility to environmental and food-processing stressors. This resilience is likely due to the bacterium entering a viable but non-culturable state, often within biofilms, or even initiating biofilm formation as a survival strategy. This study presents an innovative application of NanoLuc bioluminescence to accurately monitor the development of C.

Sorghum is a major ingredient used in the production of complementary foods in Kenya's drylands, particularly in areas like Kerio Valley. However, it is known to be susceptible to aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination, which have adverse effects on human health. The current study aimed to assess the levels of aflatoxin and fumonisin in sorghum kernels and flour from Kerio Valley and to investigate whether fermentation (spontaneous or innoculum facilated) could reduce the levels of toxins.

In this paper, we introduce a novel concordance-based predictive uncertainty (CPU)-Index, which integrates insights from subgroup analysis and personalized AI time-to-event models. Through its application in refining lung cancer screening (LCS) predictions generated by an individualized AI time-to-event model trained with fused data of low dose CT (LDCT) radiomics with patient demographics, we demonstrate its effectiveness, resulting in improved risk assessment compared to the Lung CT Screening Reporting & Data System (Lung-RADS). Subgroup-based Lung-RADS faces challenges in representing individual variations and relies on a limited set of predefined characteristics, resulting in variable predictions.
