Protocol for detecting eDNA in ecological rare fish using RPA-CRISPR-Cas12a technology.

STAR Protoc

January 2025

School of Public Health, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400016, China; Chongqing Miankai Biotechnology Research Institute Co., Ltd., Chongqing 400025, China. Electronic address:

The recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-CRISPR-Cas12a-FQ system enables sensitive detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) in rare fish species. Here, we present a protocol for eDNA amplification and Cas12a for target recognition using RPA. We describe steps for identifying a target site, synthesis and purification of CRISPR RNA (crRNA), and RPA isothermal amplification.

Hair follicle (HF) development and pigmentation are complex processes governed by various signaling pathways, such as TGF-β and FGF signaling pathways. Nestin + (neural crest like) stem cells are also expressed in HF stem cells, particularly in the bulge and dermal papilla region. However, the specific role and differentiation potential of these Nestin-positive cells within the HF remain unclear, especially regarding their contribution to melanocyte formation and hair pigmentation.

The Divine in the Clinic: Assisted Reproduction and Religious Practice in Ghana and South Africa.

J Relig Health

January 2025

School of Social Sciences, 20 Chancellor's Walk, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, 3880, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines spiritual practices among both staff and patients in assisted reproduction settings in Ghana and South Africa, highlighting how these interventions complement high-tech methods.
  • It discusses the creation of sacred spaces within clinics and various rituals associated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) that reinforce the moral agency of those involved.
  • The research also addresses the challenges of adapting assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) to different cultural and religious environments, emphasizing the need for careful translation of practices.
