Diagnosis of lung cancer using salivary miRNAs expression and clinical characteristics.

BMC Pulm Med

January 2025

Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN), Tehran, Iran.

Objective: Lung cancer (LC), the primary cause for cancer-related death globally is a diverse illness with various characteristics. Saliva is a readily available biofluid and a rich source of miRNA. It can be collected non-invasively as well as transported and stored easily.

Phase transitions in the mantle control its internal dynamics and structure. The post-spinel transition marks the upper-lower mantle boundary, where ringwoodite dissociates into bridgmanite plus ferropericlase, and its Clapeyron slope regulates mantle flow across it. This interaction has previously been assumed to have no lateral spatial variations, based on the assumption of a linear post-spinel boundary in pressure and temperature.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly, clinically characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral disturbances. Its pathogenesis is not fully comprehended but involves intracellular depositions of amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau. Currently, pharmacological interventions solely slow the progression of symptoms.

Dumbbell probe-bridged CRISPR/Cas13a and nicking-mediated DNA cascade reaction for highly sensitive detection of colorectal cancer-related microRNAs.

Biosens Bioelectron

January 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, Sichuan Province Engineering Technology Research Center of Molecular Diagnosis of Clinical Diseases, Molecular Diagnosis of Clinical Diseases Key Laboratory of Luzhou, Sichuan, 646000, China. Electronic address:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, necessitating the development of sensitive and minimally invasive diagnostic approaches. In this study, we present a novel diagnostic strategy by integrating dumbbell probe-mediated CRISPR/Cas13a with nicking-induced DNA cascade reaction (DP-bridged Cas13a/NDCR) for highly sensitive microRNA (miRNA) detection. Target miRNA triggers Cas13a-mediated cleavage of the dumbbell probe, releasing an intermediate strand that hybridizes with a methylene blue-labeled hairpin probe on the electrode surface.

Purpose Of Review: WHO defines SCD as sudden unexpected death either within 1 h of symptom onset (witnessed) or within 24 h of having been observed alive and symptom-free (unwitnessed). Sudden cardiac arrest is a major cause of mortality worldwide, with survival to hospital discharge for hospital cardiac arrest and in-hospital cardiac arrest being only 9.3 % and 21.
