Article Abstract

A rapid and sensitive strategy for sensing dopamine (DA) was proposed based on the fluorescence quenching effects of polydopamine (PDA) on carbon dots (CDs). The green-emission fluorescence CDs were synthesized via a facile one-pot hydrothermal approach by employing p-phenylenediamine and ethanol as reagents. In alkaline environments, DA would polymerize to form PDA on surface of CDs, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of the detection system owing to the effects of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FERT) and inner filter effect (IFE). The proposed fluorescence probe exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity to DA in the concentration range of 0.1-15 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 37 nM. Results of detecting DA in serum samples indicate the broad potential of the proposed strategy for future application in diagnosis of DA-related diseases.

Labeling the plasma membrane for advanced imaging remains a significant challenge. For time-lapse live cell imaging, probe internalization and photobleaching are major limitations affecting most membrane-specific dyes. In fixed or permeabilized cells, many membrane probes either lose signal after fixation or fail to remain localized to the plasma membrane.

As a cutting-edge super-resolution imaging technique, structured illumination microscopy (SIM) has been widely used in cell biology research, especially in the analysis of subcellular organelles and monitoring of their dynamic processes. Through multiple illumination and reconstruction processes, SIM breaks through the resolution limitations of traditional microscopes and can observe the fine structures within cells in real time with nanoscale resolution. This provides strong technical support for in-depth analyses of molecular mechanisms, organelle functions, signaling networks, and metabolic regulatory pathways within cells.

was identified in human and mouse Huntington's disease brain as the pathogenic exon 1 mRNA generated from aberrant splicing between exon 1 and 2 of that contributes to aggregate formation and neuronal dysfunction. Detection of the huntingtin exon 1 protein (HTT1a) has been accomplished with Meso Scale Discovery, Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays in Huntington's disease knock-in mice, but direct detection in homogenates by gel electrophoresis and western blot assay has been lacking. Subcellular fractions prepared from mouse and human Huntington's disease brain were separated by gel electrophoresis and probed by western blot with neoepitope monoclonal antibodies 1B12 and 11G2 directed to the C-terminal eight residues of HTT1a.

Microfluidics-assisted spatially barcoded microarray technology offers a high-throughput, low-cost approach towards spatial transcriptomic profiling. A uniform barcoded microarray is crucial for spatially unbiased mRNA analysis. However, non-specific adsorption of barcoding reagents in microchannels occurs during liquid transport, causing non-uniform barcoding in the chip's functional regions.

Rapid and efficient screening of foodborne pathogens is crucial for preventing bacterial spread and food poisoning. However, developing a multi-detection method that is easy to operate, offers good stability, and achieves high efficiency remains an enormous challenge. Existing multiplexed nucleic acid detection methods suffer from complex designs, leading to complicated operations, and non-robust sample introduction, causing primer/probe crosstalk and false-positive results.
