Article Abstract
Single-cell microRNA (miRNA) analysis helps people understand the causes of diseases and formulate new disease treatment strategies. However, miRNA from a single cell is usually very rare and requires signal amplification for accurate quantification. Here, to amplify the signal, we constructed the cascaded DNA circuits consisting of catalytic hairpin assembly and hybrid chain reaction into the bead array platform, on which the uniformly distributed beads were adopted for miRNA quantification. After exponential signal amplification, a consistent linear correlation between the percentage of fluorescent beads and the copy number of miRNA was detected. The proposed bead array can achieve ultrahigh sensitivity as low as 60 copies of miR-155 and high specificity for distinguishing single nucleotide differences. This method has been successfully applied to the quantitative detection of miRNA in a single cancer cell. The high sensitivity, programmability, and simple workflow of the bead array chip will give a huge advantage in basic and clinical research.

Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, National Defense Medical University, Taipei City 114201, Taiwan (R.O.C.).
Aims: This study aims to develop and evaluate a rapid and high-multiplex pathogen detection method for clinical and food specimens to address the ongoing public health threat of foodborne infections and the limitations of conventional culture-based diagnostics.
Methods And Results: The foodborne bacteria (FBB) assay integrates multiplex PCR, T7 exonuclease hydrolysis, and a suspension bead array to simultaneously detect 16 genes from 13 major foodborne bacteria. Analytical performance was evaluated using reference strains, while diagnostic performance was assessed using clinical and food samples.

Pneumonia imposes a significant global health burden, with high morbidity and mortality, and challenges in pathogen identification due to diverse etiologies. Conventional culture-based methods are time-consuming and insufficient for fastidious organisms, necessitating advanced diagnostic tools for rapid and accurate pathogen identification, especially in emergency department (ED) settings. To address this, we developed the pneumonia pathogen identification (PPID) assay, a multiplex diagnostic platform based on the single-stranded multiplex PCR amplicons with suspension bead array technology.

In virology-related studies, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it is routine to inactivate body fluid samples carrying the virus to reduce the spread of the virus and guarantee the safety of biobankers and researchers. However, inactivation treatments may affect the molecular structure of proteins in biological samples, and it is necessary to select an inactivation method that has the least impact on the target molecule associated with protein detection techniques. Cytometric Bead Array (CBA), a novel and powerful technology, allows the simultaneous quantification of up to 10-30 different soluble proteins from one sample, with a particular focus on various cytokines and chemokines in human body fluids.
