Objective And Rationale: This study aimed to develop a highly sensitive and selective single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer targeting cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a crucial biomarker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The objective was to fabricate a novel aptamer electrochemical sensor using a composite material of cobalt-nickel metal-organic framework (CoNi-MOF) on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE), leveraging the composite's large surface area and excellent electrical conductivity alongside the aptamer's high affinity for cTnI.
Methods: The aptamer electrochemical sensor was fabricated using the CoNi-MOF composite on SPCE and characterized its properties. They conducted electrochemical measurements to assess the sensor's performance in detecting cTnI. The sensor's stability, reproducibility, and electro-catalytic activity were evaluated.
Results: The sensor demonstrated linear detection of cTnI over a concentration range of 5-75 pg/mL, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 13.2 pM. Remarkable stability and reproducibility were observed in cTnI detection. The sensor exhibited exceptional electro-catalytic activity, enabling accurate quantification of cTnI levels in various solutions.
Conclusions: This research presents a significant advancement towards the development of reliable, cost-effective, and easily deployable cTnI sensors for clinical applications. The sensor's versatility in detecting cTnI across different concentration ranges highlights its potential utility in diverse clinical settings, particularly for early detection and monitoring of cardiac conditions.

Reduction-oxidation factor-1 or apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (Ref-1/APE1) is a crucial redox-sensitive activator of transcription factors such as NF-κB, HIF-1α, STAT-3 and others. It could contribute to key features of ocular neovascularization including inflammation and angiogenesis; these underlie diseases like neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). We previously revealed a role for Ref-1 in the growth of ocular endothelial cells and in choroidal neovascularization (CNV).

Unipolar barrier architecture is designed to enhance the photodetector's sensitivity by inducing highly asymmetrical barriers, a higher barrier for blocking majority carriers to depressing dark current, and a low minority carrier barrier without impeding the photocurrent flow through the channel. Depressed dark current without block photocurrent is highly desired for uncooled Long-wave infrared (LWIR) photodetection, which can enhance the sensitivity of the photodetector. Here, an excellent unipolar barrier photodetector based on multi-layer (ML) graphene (G) is developed, WSe, and PtSe (G-WSe-PtSe) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure, in which extremely low dark current of 1.

Cervical cancer remains a major global health concern, with a specially alarming incidence in younger women. Traditional detection techniques such as the Pap smear and colposcopy often lack sensitivity and specificity and are highly dependent on the experience of the gynaecologist. In response, this study proposes the use of Hyperspectral Imaging, a pioneering technology that combines traditional imaging with spectroscopy to provide detailed spatial and spectral information.

As one of their key regulatory ecosystem functions, inland lakes serve as CO sinks. The CO sink capacity of inland lakes depends on their water temperature and salinity as well as their water volume which are all highly sensitive to climate conditions. This paper aims to quantitatively estimate the change in the CO sink capacity of Wadi El-Rayan Lakes under climate change scenarios.
