Glucose oxidase (GOX) is a representative compound found in most insect saliva that can suppress plant-defensive responses. However, little is known about the origin and role of GOX in the crucifer-specialized pest . In this study, we showed obvious regurgitation from the larval gut of and identified abundant peptides highly similar to known GOX. Three genes were verified with preferentially expressed in the gut. The heterologously expressed PxGOX2 confirmed its function to be a GOX, and it was detected in plant wounds together with the gut regurgitant. Further experiments revealed that PxGOX2 functioned as an effector and may suppress defensive responses in plant through the production of HO, which modulates levels of antagonistic salicylic acid and jasmonic acid. However, excessive HO in the host plant may be neutralized by peroxidase, thus forming defensive feedback. Our findings provided new insights into understanding the GOX-mediated insect-plant interactions.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carry intact tumor molecular information, making them invaluable for personalized cancer monitoring. However, conventional capture methods, relying on passive diffusion, suffer from low efficiency due to insufficient collision frequency, severely limiting clinical utility. Herein, a magnetic micromotor-functionalized DNA-array hunter (MMDA hunter) is developed by integrating enzyme-propelled micromotors, magnetic nanoparticles, and nucleic acid aptamers into distinct functional partitions of a DNA tile self-assembly structure.

Glucose sensors are critical analytical devices designed for precise and continuous monitoring of glucose concentrations, playing a pivotal role in healthcare, particularly in diabetes management. Here, we synthesis glucose oxidase (GOx)/Se hydrogel to detect the glucose, thereby generating measurable electrical signals. Further, the transfection of electronic signals rely on the poly(dopamine) (PDA) grid in hydrogel.

The incorporation of nanomaterials into smart flexible interfaces is a developing requirement for real-time diagnostics applications. In this work, we report a novel optical fabric-based sensor for the analysis of glucose and hydrogen peroxide (HO), addressing critical needs of healthcare, industrial safety, and environmental analysis. In contrast to traditional rigid substrates, we utilized cotton fabric as a porous and flexible sensing platform, immobilizing cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂-NPs) using hydrogel.

Accurate and accessible glucose detection is essential for clinical diagnostics, point-of-care testing, food safety, and biosensing applications. In this study, we present a simple, scalable, and dual-mode glucose sensor that integrates commercial potassium permanganate (KMnO) with glucose oxidase to enable sensitive and selective detection in the clinically critical range of 1-5 mM. Leveraging the strong oxidative power and distinct optical characteristics of KMnO, the sensor operates via both absorbance measurement at 400 nm and visual colorimetric analysis, displaying a clear color change from purple to pink and yellow upon reaction with glucose.

The growing efforts towards preparation and investigation of supramolecular complexes formed by proteins and other polymers are determined by their promising biochemical and physical properties. In the current work, interaction of 6 enzymes, catalyzing transformation of various mycotoxins, with 8 polymers of variable structure and length was simulated to predict the best possible complex composition. The localization and portion of occupied areas on the enzyme surface varied widely, thus allowing the selection of those enzyme-polymer pairs for maximal retention of enzyme activity.
