Here we report on an ultra-sensitive colorimetric sensing platform that takes advantage of both the strong amplification power of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and the high efficiency of a simple urease-mediated litmus test. The presence of a target triggers the RCA reaction, and urease-labelled DNA can hybridize to the biotinylated RCA products and be immobilized onto streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The urease-laden beads are then used to hydrolyze urea, leading to an increase in pH that can be detected by a simple litmus test. We show this sensing platform can be easily integrated with aptamers for sensing diverse targets via the detection of human thrombin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) utilizing structure-switching aptamers as well as SARS-CoV-2 in human saliva using a spike-binding trimeric DNA aptamer. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this colorimetric sensing platform can be integrated into a simple paper-based device for sensing applications.

Brain cancer poses a significant global health challenge, with mortality rates showing a concerning surge over recent decades. The incidence of brain cancer-related mortality has risen from 140,000 to 250,000, accompanied by a doubling in new diagnoses from 175,000 to 350,000. In response, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a pivotal diagnostic tool, facilitating early detection and treatment planning.

Architecture specifications such as Armv8-A and RISC-V are the ultimate foundation for software verification and the correctness criteria for hardware verification. They should define the allowed sequential and relaxed-memory concurrency behaviour of programs, but hitherto there has been no integration of full-scale instruction-set architecture (ISA) semantics with axiomatic concurrency models, either in mathematics or in tools. These ISA semantics can be surprisingly large and intricate, e.

Introduction: Children diagnosed with endocrine disorders may exhibit atypical development and may encounter challenges in language, academic, and cognitive skills, as well as social-emotional issues. The objective of this study was to identify potential therapeutic requirements in the areas of language, cognition, and mathematical skills among children with endocrine disorders who experience school failure. This will enable an early evaluation of speech and language disorders and the planning of interventions to be possible.

This paper presents an innovative method for assessing the performance of optical limiters, which are devices that protect humans against laser radiation. The essence of the process is that with increasing laser radiation intensity, the colour of nonlinear absorbers, the working components of these devices, can change in contrast to the original one, which was demonstrated by quantum-chemical linear response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) for molecules excited by static electric finite fields (FF) within the general DFT (density functional theory) approach. Modelling was carried out on clamshell-type bis-phthalocyanines, in which the macrocycles are strapped by a cyclotriphosphazene spacer, suitable candidates for creating nonlinear optical (NLO) dyes for laser technology.
