Sensitive and specific detection of protein is of great significance for early diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases. However, great challenges remain unsolved including relative low sensitivity, high cost, long testing time, complicated instrument and laborious operation. To improve the performance of protein detection methods, development of fine reaction interface for recognition and signal amplification is of great importance. In this work, we construct a novel mode of DNA assembly at electrode interface based on a tripodal surface anchor and an electrochemical aptasensor for protein assay is developed. The orientation of the immobilized DNA is optimized, which promises the efficiency of protein recognition. In addition, hybridization chain reaction is employed for further signal amplification. Therefore, this detection method shows high sensitivity with excellent specificity. The strategy can be universally applicable by simply modifying the sequences of used DNA probes.

We introduce a novel control mode for Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) that leverages di/dz feedback. By superimposing a high-frequency sinusoidal modulation on the control signal, we extract the amplitude of the resulting tunneling current to obtain a di/dz measurement as the tip is scanned over the surface. A feedback control loop is then closed to maintain a constant di/dz, enhancing the sensitivity of the tip to subtle surface variations throughout a scan.

As a fundamental component of antitumor therapy, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC) has emerged as a leading cause of long-term mortality in patients with malignant tumors. Unfortunately, there are currently no effective therapeutic preventive or treatment strategies, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of CIC remain inadequately understood. A growing number of studies have shown that different mechanisms of cell death, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, are essential for facilitating the cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapy.

Vanin-1 is a pantetheine hydrolase that plays a key role in inflammatory diseases. Effective tools for noninvasive, real-time monitoring of Vanin-1 are lacking, largely due to background fluorescence interference in existing probes. To address this issue, we developed a dual-modal fluorescent and colorimetric probe, MB-Van1, to detect Vanin-1 with high sensitivity and selectivity.
