Article Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) acts as a severe public health threat, causing chronic liver diseases. Although the quantified evaluation of HBV infection can be obtained by estimating the capacity of the HBV DNA genome, it still lacks an effective and robust detection method without using enzymes or chemical labeling. Herein, we have designed a binary split fluorescent DNA aptasensor (bsFDA) by rationally splitting the lettuce aptamer into two functional DNA short chains and utilizing the HBV DNA segment complementary sequences (HDs). In this strategy, the bsFDA has been investigated to specifically recognize the HDs, forming a triplex DNA with the lettuce aptamer structure. Meanwhile, the turn-on fluorescence of bsFDA is obtained upon formation of a fluorescent complex between DFHO and the triplex DNA structure, allowing the enzyme-free, label-free, fast-responsive, and reliable fluorescence readout for detecting HDs and the potential HDs mutants. Moreover, bsFDA has been applied for spiked HDs analysis in different real matrixes, including human serum and cell lysate. The satisfactory recovery rates and reproducibility of the bsFDA reveal its potential detection efficacy for HDs analysis in biological samples. Overall, bsFDA holds great potential in developing functionalized aptasensors and realizing viral genome analysis in biological research.

Purpose: To predict metastasis-free survival (MFS) for patients with prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and external radiotherapy using clinical factors and radiomics extracted from primary tumor and node volumes in pre-treatment PSMA PET/CT scans.
Materials/methods: Our cohort includes 134 PCa patients (nodal involvement in 28 patients). Gross tumor volumes of primary tumor (GTVp) and nodes (GTVn) on CT and PET scans were segmented.

Enzymes in a pathway often form metabolons through weak protein-protein interactions (PPI) that localize and protect labile metabolites. Due to their transient nature, the structural architecture of these enzyme assemblies has largely remained elusive, limiting our abilities to re-engineer novel metabolic pathways. Here, we delineate a complete PPI map of 1225 interactions in the E.

As a class of functional materials used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), sensitizers play a crucial role in the improvement of device efficiency, color purity, and stability. In recent years, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) sensitizers have attracted much attention mainly because of their high exciton utilization efficiency by converting quenched triplet excitons into singlet excitons. Despite the experimental success of sensitization strategies in enhancing OLED performance, the lack of theoretical models for sensitizers continues to hinder further development.

Celecoxib (CLB) and tramadol (TRD) are frequently co-administered in clinical practice due to their complementary mechanisms in managing acute and chronic pain. Their combination has recently been formulated into a fixed-dose oral medication, representing the first FDA-approved multimodal analgesic targeting COX-2 and central opioid receptors simultaneously. However, the strong spectral overlap between CLB and TRD complicates their simultaneous determination using traditional spectrophotometric methods.

Cyclic peptides are promising drug candidates due to their ability to modulate intracellular protein-protein interactions, a property often inaccessible to small molecules. However, their typically poor membrane permeability limits therapeutic applicability. Accurate computational prediction of permeability can accelerate the identification of cell-permeable candidates, reducing reliance on time-consuming and costly experimental screening.
