Accurate and sensitive detection of Pax-5a gene is the basis of early diagnosis and prediction of acute leukemia. This research aims to develop a universal dual-mode sensing method enables ultrasensitive gene detection based on smart control of DNA amplification by nucleic acid beacons e to form programmed dendrimer. The Pax-5a target gene triggers the opening of smart gate hairpin probe (Hp), exposing the stem sequence as the primer to bind with padlock probe for rolling circle amplification (RCA). The generated long strand RCA product contains a large number of functional regions that induce hybridization chain reaction (HCR) between two hairpin sequences and finally grow to form DNA dendrimer. For signal generation, the fluorescence sensing mode is based on the fluorescence recovery of the fluorophore during DNA dendrimer formation. The electrochemical sensing mode is based on the intercalation of electroactive methylene blue (MB) molecules into the DNA dendrimer which bind onto the electrode by capture probe. Comparing this novel approach to the conventional HCR and RCA, the signal can be enhanced multiple times. In addition, the dual-mode sensing strategy showed ultra-sensitivity, good selectivity, simple operation and could be used for complex substrate environment analysis offering a wide range of applications in clinical diagnosis and bioanalysis.

A manganese porphyrin wrapped DNA dendrimer (Mn-DD) was developed through enzyme-free DNA self-assembly and simple and mild groove binding of porphyrin. The Mn-DD not only possessed plenty of manganese porphyrin to amplify the chemiluminescence (CL) signal, but also can be modified with diverse groups via DNA hybridization. Combined with an immunosensor array, Mn-DD can be utilized for CL immunoassay of multiple mycotoxins as a universal tag.

Article Synopsis
- The human retina has various specialized cells that work together to transmit visual signals, but genetic and age-related issues can lead to serious vision impairment or blindness.
- Current treatment options for retinal diseases are limited, highlighting the need for new therapeutic strategies, particularly cell and gene therapies that target retinal cells.
- Two main types of gene delivery systems—viral (like lentiviruses and adeno-associated viruses) and non-viral (such as liposomal technology)—are being explored for effectively delivering therapeutic genes to treat retinal diseases, each with its unique advantages and limitations.

Mitochondria are the seat of cellular energy and play key roles in regulating several cellular processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, respiration, calcium homeostasis and apoptotic pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction results in error in oxidative phosphorylation, redox imbalance, mitochondrial DNA mutations, and disturbances in mitochondrial dynamics, all of which can lead to several metabolic and degenerative diseases. A plethora of studies have provided evidence for the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Article Synopsis
- * The study introduces third generation PAMAM dendrimers with a thiacalixarene core in three different conformations, found to effectively bind and compact DNA while showing improved binding efficiency with generations.
- * The findings suggest that the structural design of these dendrimers can lower hemotoxicity and potentially simplify the development of new, cost-effective drug delivery systems in nanomedicine.
