The cell bodies of origin of peripheral nerves, in particular visceral nerves, are often difficult to identify using standard horseradish peroxidase (HRP) methods. The non-ionic surfactant Nonidet-P40, when applied to intact peripheral nerve along with HRP, allows the investigator to examine the neurons of origin of the nerve without cutting the fibers or injecting label into its peripheral terminal field.

Detection of biomarkers associated with physiological conditions provides critical insights into healthcare and disease management. However, challenges in sampling and analysis complicate the detection and quantification of protein biomarkers within the epidermal layer of the skin and in viscous liquid biopsy samples. Here, we present the "Lab-on-the-Needles" concept, utilizing a microneedle patch-based sensing box (MNP-based SenBox) for mobile healthcare applications.

Intracellular delivery of proteins has attracted significant interest in biological research and cancer treatment, yet it continues to face challenges due to the lack of effective delivery approaches. Herein, we developed an efficient strategy cationic α-helical polypeptide-mediated anionic proprotein delivery. The protein was reversibly modified with adenosine triphosphate dynamic covalent chemistry to prepare an anionic proprotein (A-protein) with abundant phosphate groups.

HRP-integrated CRISPR-Cas12a biosensor for rapid point-of-care detection of Langya henipavirus.

iScience

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics (Ministry of Education), School of Laboratory Medicine, Chongqing Medical University, 1 Xueyuan Road, Chongqing 400016, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the urgent need for better diagnostic tools to quickly identify new infectious diseases, such as Langya henipavirus (LayV).
  • Researchers developed a sensitive detection method using CRISPR-Cas12a, allowing LayV RNA to be identified at just 10 copies/μL within 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • A new HRP-ssDNA reporter was designed so that CRISPR-Cas12a can detect LayV RNA without needing pre-amplification, achieving visibility of 1,200 copies/μL to the naked eye, enhancing point-of-care testing in resource-limited areas.

Matrix-free human 2D organoids recapitulate duodenal barrier and transport properties.

BMC Biol

January 2025

Department of General and Visceral Surgery, Campus Benjamin Franklin, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Hindenburgdamm 30, Berlin, 12203, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional cell line monolayers have been the standard for studying epithelial barrier and transport, but 3D intestinal organoids are emerging as a better model for studying these functions.
  • Researchers developed human duodenum-derived organoid monolayers that don't require a gelatinous matrix for anchorage, which could hinder diffusion.
  • The new organoid monolayers effectively replicate the duodenum’s functions and composition, showing improved models for studying transport mechanisms without relying on animal-derived materials.

Dual-signal portable microRNA biosensor based on a photothermal/visual strategy induced by cascading amplification techniques and horseradish peroxidase.

Talanta

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Diagnosis of the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Analytical Science and Technology of Hebei Province, College of Chemistry and Materials Science, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, Hebei Province, PR China. Electronic address:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as potential biomarkers for many diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular conditions. The portable and accurate detection of miRNA is of great significance for the early diagnosis, treatment optimization and prognostic evaluation of diseases. Herein, a photothermal/visual dual-mode assay for let-7a is developed utilizing oxidized 3, 3', 5, 5' - tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB) as signal reporter.
