Osteosarcoma is a bone cancer formed by the cells of the bone. Children, young adults, and teens are highly affected by osteosarcoma. Early identification of osteosarcoma is mandatory to improve the treatment and increase the lifespan of the patients. MicroRNA-195 (miR-195) was shown to be a suitable biomarker for osteosarcoma, and the present study describes a sensitive method of miR-195 identification by nuclease digestion in ELISA to detect and quantify the level of miR-195. S1 nuclease catalyzed endo- and exonucleolytic digestion of single-stranded (ss) RNA and DNA on ELISA polystyrene substrate, which helped to identify duplexed miR-195. This method selectively and specifically identified miR-195 without any biofouling interactions and reached the limit of detection at 10 fM within the range from 10 fM to 10 nM. Due to complete digestion of ssDNA, single- and triple-mismatched sequences failed to increase the ELISA signal, indicating specific miRNA detection. Furthermore, human serum spiked with miR-195 did not interfere with the detection, confirming selective identification. This method identified miR-195 at a lower level and will help to diagnose earlier stages of osteosarcoma.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising method for pest control; however, some studies have showed that the degradation of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by dsRNA-degrading nucleases (dsRNases) is one of the factors that may reduce RNAi efficiency in lepidopteran insects. In this study, we cloned two dsRNase genes named CmdsRNase5 and CmdsRNase6 from rice leaffolder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, a notorious insect pest of rice. Open reading frames (ORFs) of CmdsRNase5 and CmdsRNase6 are 1317 and 1185 bp in length, encoding 438 and 394 amino acids, respectively.

MRE11 nuclease is a central player in signaling and processing DNA damage, and in resolving stalled replication forks. Here, we describe the identification and characterization of new MRE11 inhibitors MU147 and MU1409. Both compounds inhibit MRE11 nuclease more specifically and effectively than the relatively weak state-of-the-art inhibitor mirin.

Accurate identification of cancer cells under complex physiological environments holds great promise for noninvasive diagnosis and personalized medicine. Herein, we developed dual-aptamer-based DNA logic-gated series lamp probes (Apt-SLP) by coupling a DNA cell-classifier (DCC) with a self-powered signal-amplifier (SSA), enabling rapid and sensitive identification of cancer cells in a blood sample. DCC is endowed with two extended-aptamer based modules for recognizing the two cascade cell membrane receptors and serves as a DNA logic gate to pinpoint a particular and narrow subpopulation of cells from a larger population of similar cells.

A key goal of biology is to understand the origin of the many cell types that can be observed during diverse processes such as development, regeneration, and disease. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is commonly used to identify cell types in a tissue or organ. However, organizing the resulting taxonomy of cell types into lineage trees to understand the origins of cell states and relationships between cells remains challenging.
