Fracture-healing is a highly complex and timely orchestrated process. Non-healing fractures are still a major clinical problem and treatment remains difficult. A 16 Hz extremely low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (ELF-PEMF) was identified as non-invasive adjunct therapy supporting bone-healing by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca-influx. However, ROS and Ca-influx may stimulate neutrophils, the first cells arriving at the wounded site, to excessively form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which negatively affects the healing process. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of this 16 Hz ELF-PEMF on NET formation. Neutrophils were isolated from healthy volunteers and exposed to different NET-stimuli and the 16 Hz ELF-PEMF. NETs were quantified using Sytox Green Assay and immunofluorescence, Ca-influx and ROS with fluorescence probes. In contrast to mesenchymal cells, ELF-PEMF exposure did not induce ROS and Ca-influx in neutrophils. ELF-PEMF exposure did not result in basal or enhanced PMA-induced NET formation but did reduce the amount of DNA released. Similarly, NET formation induced by LPS and HO was reduced through exposure to ELF-PEMF. As ELF-PEMF exposure did not induce NET release or negatively affect neutrophils, the ELF-PEMF exposure can be started immediately after fracture treatment.

Simple yet specific miRNA detection remains an enormous challenge due to its low abundance in samples and the high similarity among homologous miRNAs. Here, we propose a novel fluorescent approach for miRNA detection with greatly elevated accuracy by utilizing exonuclease-iii (Exo-iii) assisted twice target recognition. The proposed method involves a "Sensing probe" engineered with two loop sections to facilitate dual target miRNA recognition.

Article Synopsis
- Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a zoonotic bacteria that can cause serious diseases, but how it avoids the body's immune system is not well understood.
- A study identified a specific protein mutation in SS2 that leads to increased neutrophil responses, yet the mutated bacteria survive poorly in the bloodstream compared to the original strain.
- The deletion of this protein results in a weaker protective capsule and boosts the bacteria's ability to form biofilms; however, it also decreases the bacteria's survival within immune cells, highlighting potential targets for preventing infections.

Sepsis is the leading cause of death among critically ill patients in clinical practice, making it urgent to reduce its incidence and mortality rates. In sepsis, macrophage dysfunction often worsens and complicates the condition. M1 and M2 macrophages, two distinct types, contribute to pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, respectively.

Background: Lynch syndrome (LS), characterised by an increased risk for cancer, is mainly caused by germline pathogenic variants affecting a mismatch repair gene (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2). Occasionally, LS may be caused by constitutional MLH1 epimutation (CME) characterised by soma-wide methylation of one allele of the MLH1 promoter. Most of these are "primary" epimutations, arising de novo without any apparent underlying cis-genetic cause, and are reversible between generations.
