Article Abstract
Highly sensitive and specific imaging of ATP in living cells remains a challenge. Here, a novel aptasensor based endogenous enzyme-powered DNA walker for imaging ATP was proposed. The strategy leverages the highly expressed APE1 in tumor cells as the driving force of the DNA walker, achieving high sensitivity and superior imaging contrast. The method can detect ATP as low as 3.43 μM within 1 h. The approach can also effectively monitor intracellular ATP expression fluctuations and successfully differentiate between normal and cancer cells with high contrast.

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a prevalent trichothecene mycotoxin in cereals, poses severe threats to human health and agricultural sustainability. Conventional detection methods face limitations in sensitivity and operational complexity for on-site applications. Herein, we develop an electrochemical aptasensor integrating dual-signal amplification strategies: Nb.

Iron is vital to living cells, playing a key role in cellular respiration, DNA synthesis, and various metabolic functions. Importantly, cancer cells have a higher dependency on iron compared to normal cells to support their rapid growth and survival. Due to this fact, tumors are more vulnerable to ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death.

The startle response is a reflexive contraction of skeletal musculature in response to a strong acoustic stimulus that is evolutionarily preserved across species. There is a broad and comprehensive literature connecting components of the startle response such as latency, magnitude and pre-pulse inhibition, to psychosis status and risk. In this review, we examine the startle response in human subjects with 22q11.

To elucidate how early-life exposure to toxicants exerts such persistent effects, the Toxicant Exposures and Responses by Genomic and Epigenomic Regulators of Transcription II (TaRGET II) Consortium generated a landmark resource comprising 2,570 epigenomes and 1,043 transcriptomes from longitudinal studies in mice. All data are publicly available through the TaRGET II data portal and the WashU Epigenome Browser.

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the primary bioactive form of folate (vitamin B9), played a vital role in human metabolism. In this work, an electrochemical/colorimetric dual-mode aptasensor for 5-MTHF was constructed by combining a DNA Walker-driven CRISPR-Cas12a trans-cleavage system. A 5-MTHF aptamer D1a was obtained through Capture-SELEX with subsequent trimming of non-binding regions, which exhibiting high affinity and specificity.
