Base editing is a common mechanism by which organisms expand their genetic repertoire to access new functions. Here, we explore the mechanism of tRNA recognition in the bacterial deaminase TadA, which exclusively recognizes tRNA and converts the wobble base adenosine (A34) to inosine. We quantitatively evaluate the dynamics of tRNA binding by incorporating the fluorescent adenine analogue 2-aminopurine (2-AP) at position 34 in the wobble base of the anticodon loop.

Background: The importance of health literacy in personal health management is widely recognised in the general population, yet remains poorly understood in some patient groups, including people with spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D).
Objectives: The systematic review had two objectives: (1) to determine the health literacy levels of individuals with SCI/D, and (2) to identify facilitators and barriers to developing health literacy in this group.
Methods: Seven databases (CINAHL, Embase, Emcare, ProQuest, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science) were searched from inception, with an updated search completed on January 21, 2025.

While artificial intelligence's (AI's) potential role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalising treatment is well-recognised, its application in evaluating physicians raises critical ethical concerns as well. The paper examines the impact of AI on the 'comparative abilities' exception to informed consent, which currently exempts physicians from disclosing information about the performance of other providers. With AI's ability to generate granular, accurate comparisons of physician metrics, this exception will be challenged, potentially empowering patients to make more informed decisions.

Informed consent in surgical settings requires not only the accurate communication of medical information but also the establishment of trust through empathic engagement. The use of large language models (LLMs) offers a novel opportunity to enhance the informed consent process by combining advanced information retrieval capabilities with simulated emotional responsiveness. However, the ethical implications of simulated empathy raise concerns about patient autonomy, trust and transparency.
