The excessive consumption of tetracycline (TC) could bring a series of unpredictable health and ecological risks. Therefore, it is crucial to develop convenient and effective detection technology for TC. Herein, a "signal on" photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was constructed for the stable detection of TC. Specifically, the g-CN/BiVO were used to promote the migration of photo-generated charges to an enhanced photocurrent response. TC aptamer probes were stably fixed on the g-CN/BiVO/FTO electrode as a recognition element via covalent bonding interaction. In the presence of TC, the aptamer probes could directly recognize and capture TC. Subsequently, TC was oxidized by the photogenerated holes of g-CN/BiVO, causing an enhanced photocurrent. The "signal on" PEC aptasensor displayed a distinguished detection performance toward TC in terms of a wide linear range from 0.1 to 500 nM with a low detection limit of 0.06 nM, and possessed high stability, great selectivity, and good application prospects.

Retinopathy with Vitamin E Deficiency (RVED) is a familial disease in the English Cocker Spaniel (ECS) dog breed. Ophthalmic abnormalities observed in RVED-affected ECS include lipofuscin granule deposition within the tapetal fundus and subsequent retinal degeneration resulting in visual deficits. Affected dogs may also exhibit neurological signs that include ataxia and hindlimb proprioceptive deficit.

Investigation of Genomic and Transcriptomic Risk Factors of Clopidogrel Response in African Americans.

Clin Pharmacol Ther

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology, Center for Pharmacogenomics, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Clopidogrel, an anti-platelet drug, is used to prevent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. Clopidogrel resistance results in recurring ischemic events, with African Americans (AA) suffering disproportionately. The aim of this study was to discover novel biomarkers of clopidogrel resistance in African Americans using genome and transcriptome data.

Background: Accurate quantification of microRNA (miRNA) is of great significance because it provides opportunities for the accurate early diagnosis of a series of human diseases including cancers. Currently, complicated nucleic acid amplification technologies are always required for the highly sensitive miRNA detection. The introduction of nucleic acid signal amplification coupled with various enzymes will inevitably lead to tedious work and increase the complexity of the analysis process.

Calreticulin (CRT) is a 46 kDa highly conserved protein initially identified as calregulin, a prominent Ca-binding protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Subsequent studies have established that CRT functions in the ER's protein folding response and Ca homeostatic mechanisms. An ER retention signal on the carboxyl terminus of CRT suggested that CRT was restricted to the ER.

In Vivo Imaging of Cobalt-Induced Ocular Toxicity in a Mouse Model.

The Krieger Eye Research Laboratory, Bruce and Ruth Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Institute of Technology, Haifa 3525433, Israel.

Cobalt is a trace element, crucial for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Cobalt toxicity is often only diagnosed after severe manifestations, including visual impairment. We aimed to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can effectively detect cobalt-induced ocular toxicity in a murine model.
