Unlabelled: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic gastrointestinal disorder, often emerges during childhood and poses significant challenges due to its adverse effects on growth, development, and psychosocial well-being. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. However, the specific biological role and mechanisms of circRNA OMA1 in children with IBD remain largely unexplored.

A mirror-image experiment: Sorting carbon nanotubes by L-DNA.

PNAS Nexus

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, New York University, 100 Washington Square East, New York, NY 10003, USA.

DNA has found increasing applications in molecular engineering, yet its chiral property has rarely been utilized. Here, we report a mirror-image experiment using naturally occurring D-DNA and its enantiomer L-DNA to sort a chiral mixture of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We find that parity conservation leads to a robust experimental outcome: changing DNA chirality results in handedness inversion of the purified nanotube.

Islet transplantation and more recently stem cell-derived islets were shown to successfully re-establish glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes under immunosuppression. These results were achieved through intraportal infusion which leads to early graft losses and limits the capacity to contain and retrieve implanted cells in case of adverse events. Extra-hepatic sites and encapsulation devices have been developed to address these challenges and potentially create an immunoprotective or immune-privileged environment.

Click chemistry-enabled gold nanorods for sensitive detection and viability evaluation of copper(II)-reducing bacteria.

Mater Today Bio

February 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, 136 Yi Xue Yuan Road, Shanghai, 200032, PR China.

The rise of antibiotic resistance poses a significant and ongoing challenge to public health, with pathogenic bacteria remaining a persistent threat. Traditional culture methods, while considered the gold standard for bacterial detection and viability assessment, are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this limitation, we developed a novel point-of-care (POC) detection method leveraging citrate- and alkyne-modified gold nanorods (AuNRs) synthesized with click chemistry properties.

Background: The aging population is increasingly affected by periodontal disease, a condition often overlooked due to its asymptomatic nature. Despite its silent onset, periodontitis is linked to various systemic conditions, contributing to severe complications and a reduced quality of life. With over a billion people globally affected, periodontal diseases present a significant public health challenge.
