Article Abstract
Aptamers are short single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences that are selected in vitro based on their high affinity to a target molecule. Here we demonstrate that an RNA aptamer selected against eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) serves as an efficient biosensor. The aptamer, when immobilized to resin, purifies eIF4A from crude cell extracts by affinity pull-down, and 32P-labeled aptamer can detect some 300 ng of eIF4A by dot-blot analysis. Moreover, by use of an aptamer-immobilized sensor chip, we developed a surface plasmon resonance assay to detect eIF4A at the nanogram level within whole cell lysates after optimizing sample preparation, thereby showing a real-time sensor for eIF4A in cell extract solution.

Introduction: Hemophilia A, an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder, is characterized by reduced factor VIII (FVIII) activity. Hemophilia A can significantly impact a person's quality of life because of the risk of spontaneous bleeding. Treatment for hemophilia A aims to prevent bleeding from occurring.

To evaluate whether age modifies the association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and overall survival (OS) in patients aged ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), we conducted a multi-centre retrospective study of 552 patients. Multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic spline (RCS) modelling showed that GNRI was significantly associated with OS, but the relationship was non-linear (P for non-linearity = 0.0158).

Introduction: Time to initiation of therapy in oncological care is an influential factor in disease progression and survival outcomes in many cancer types. We aim to identify factors associated with delayed time to treatment (TTT) in high-grade osteosarcoma and its relationship to disease-specific survival (DSS).
Methods: The SEER database was queried for biopsy-confirmed cases of high-grade osteosarcoma between 2000 and 2021 using ICD-O-3 histology codes 9180/3-9194/3 and primary site codes C40.

Organ initiation is often driven by extracellular signaling molecules that activate precursor cells competent to receive and respond to a given signal, yet little is known about the dynamics of competency in space and time during development. Teeth are excellent organs to study cellular competency because they can be activated with the addition of a single signaling ligand, Ectodysplasin (Eda). To investigate the role of Eda in tooth specification, we generated transgenic sticklebacks and zebrafish with heat shock-inducible Eda overexpression.
