Article Abstract

The emergence of infectious diseases worldwide necessitates rapid and precise diagnostics. Using gold nanoshells in the PCR mix, we harnessed their unique photothermal properties in the near-infrared regime to attain efficient heating, reaching ideal photothermal PCR cycle temperature profile. Our photothermal PCR method expedited DNA amplification while retaining its detection sensitivity. Combining photothermal quantitative PCR with real-time fluorometry and non-invasive temperature measurement, we could amplify the target DNA within just 25 min, with a minimum detectable DNA amount of 50 picograms. This innovation in photothermal qPCR, leveraging the photothermal properties of gold nanoshells, will pave the way for immediate point-of-care diagnostics of nucleic acid biomarkers.

Caliciopsis pinea is the ascomycete plant pathogen that causes caliciopsis canker disease on North American Pinus strobus (eastern white pine). Infections result in downgrading of lumber due to canker formation and overall loss of vigor in P. strobus, which is a critical cover species throughout its native range.

The nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFATc3) plays a significant role in various cancer-related processes, but its interactions with transcriptional modulators, particularly Promyelocytic Leukemia protein (PML), remain poorly understood. PML, a nuclear scaffold protein, is involved in tumor suppression and transcriptional regulation. This study investigates the interaction between NFATc3 and PML, focusing on the role of SUMOylation and its impact on downstream target genes.

Migraine is a complex neurological disorder influenced by multiple genetic susceptibility factors, yet current animal models fail to fully recapitulate its human-specific pathophysiology. In this study, we explored the potential mechanisms underlying migraine by examining functional abnormalities and molecular dysregulation in glutamatergic neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of migraine patients. As key excitatory cells in the central nervous system, glutamatergic neurons are implicated in migraine through altered excitability, ion channel dysfunction, and dysregulation of nociceptive signaling molecules.
