Electrochemical bioassays that rely on sensor interfaces based on immobilized DNA probes often encounter challenges such as complex fabrication processes and limited binding efficiency. In this study, we developed a novel electrochemical bioassay that bypasses the need for probe immobilization by employing a solution-phase nucleic acid reaction to create interfacial barriers on unmodified electrodes, enabling rapid, just-in-time sensor interface formation. Specifically, a 3'-phosphorylated recognition probe was used to identify the target microRNA-21 (miR-21), followed by target recycling facilitated by duplex-specific nuclease (DSN), which resulted in extensive hydrolysis of the recognition probe into DNA fragments with 3'-hydroxyl ends.

Sperm cells are highly susceptible to oxidative stress, which decreases their motility and fertility. However, glutathione (GSH) plays a critical role in protecting sperm cells from oxidative damage, a common byproduct of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. On the other hand, GSH biosynthesis in sperm is limited by the availability of cysteine (Cys), which is inherently unstable and found at low concentrations in boar seminal plasma.

Expression of the compact mitochondrial genome is regulated by nuclear encoded, mitochondrially localized RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). RBPs regulate the lifecycles of mitochondrial RNAs from transcription to degradation by mediating RNA processing, maturation, stability and translation. The Fas-activated serine/threonine kinase (FASTK) family of RBPs has been shown to regulate and fine-tune discrete aspects of mitochondrial gene expression.

Glyphosate (Gly), the world's most widely used herbicide in agriculture, can poison the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, via spray drift and surface runoff into surface waters. However, there is a paucity of research on the mechanisms that affect crayfish tolerance to Gly at typical environmental concentrations. To address this research gap, we investigated the effects of Gly stress (0, 6, 12, 24, and 72 h) at different concentrations (0, 1.

In contrast to mammalian cells, bacterial cells lack mRNA polyadenylated tails, presenting a hurdle in isolating mRNA amidst the prevalent rRNA during single-cell RNA-seq. This study introduces a novel method, ribosomal RNA-derived cDNA depletion (RiboD), seamlessly integrated into the PETRI-seq technique, yielding RiboD-PETRI. This innovative approach offers a cost-effective, equipment-free, and high-throughput solution for bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).
