Influenza is a significant public health challenge because of the emergence of antigenically shifted or highly virulent strains. The neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir is used as an antiviral drug in clinical treatment. However, its therapeutic effects can be greatly compromised by the emergence of drug-resistant mutant viruses. Thus, there is an urgent need to distinguish drug-resistant strains with a simple method. To address this, in the present study, we develop a rapid, sensitive and convenient molecular diagnosis method based on CRISPR/Cas12a technology and lateral flow detection (LFD). By targeting mutant sequences amplified by recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) reaction, crRNA is designed to develop the CRISPR/Cas12a assay, and 2000 copies can be directly observed by the naked eye under blue light-emitting diode (LED) light. Combined with LFD, the limit of detection of RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a-LFD is about 20 copies of target sequence per reaction. Collectively, RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a-LFD method provides a novel alternative for the sensitive, specific and portable detection to diagnose oseltamivir-resistant mutant strains.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor with high prevalence in southern China. Aberrant DNA methylation, as a hallmark of cancer, is extensively present in NPC, the detection of which facilitates early diagnosis and prognostic improvement of NPC. Conventional methylation detection methods relying on bisulfite conversion have limitations such as time-consuming, complex processes and sample degradation; thus, a more rapid and efficient method is needed.

Rapid diagnostic tools for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), the primary microorganism responsible for the development of periodontitis, particularly those designed for chair-side applications, could provide substantial health benefits to patients. To address this issue, we developed a CRISPR/Cas12a-based rapid Pg detection method. Dual-gRNA and hairpin reporter strategies were employed to enhance CRISPR/Cas12a reaction efficiency.

Mycobacterium species cause several vital human diseases, including tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections which are treated with different drug regimens Therefore, accurate and rapid diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and controlling the spread of these pathogens. This study aims to develop the isothermal method combining RPA and CRISPR-Cas12a techniques, named as MyTRACK, to detect and differentiate major clinical mycobacteria at the species level. The assay has no cross-reactivity with limit of detection of 1 to 100 copies/reaction for various targeted mycobacteria.

Herein, a novel dual-function paper-based biosensor using diffusion wet area as readout has been developed for simple and sensitive detection of hyaluronidase (HAase) and human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 DNA, respectively. The target-regulated-water absorption hydrogel synthesized by hyaluronic acid (HA) and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is chosen as an ideal material for diffusion wet area generation on paper. The hydrogel can be degraded through the enzymolysis of HA by HAase or the trans-cleavage of ssDNA by HPV DNA-activated CRISPR/cas12a system.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a myriad of biological processes and thus have been regarded as useful biomarkers in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. The specific and highly sensitive detection of miRNAs is of significant importance. Herein, a sensitive and rapid dual-amplification elemental labeling single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) analytical method based on strand displacement amplification (SDA) and CRISPR/Cas12a was developed for miRNA-21 detection.
