Article Abstract
A novel self-powered biosensor has been developed for the detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) based on difunctional triple helix molecular switch (THMS)-mediated DNA walkers. The biosensor utilizes the CAP aptamer as the recognition element, a DNA walker and capacitor as dual signal amplification strategies, and a digital multimeter (DMM) as the data readout equipment. In the presence of the target, the CAP aptamer in THMS specifically binds with CAP to release a signal transduction probe (STP) and opens the H1 hairpin structure in the biocathode to trigger the DNA walker and form a double-stranded DNA structure. Then, [Ru(NH)] is electrostatically adsorbed on the double-stranded DNA structure through electrostatic adsorption and reduced to [Ru(NH)] at the biocathode by accepting electrons entering at the bioanode. In DNA walkers, more double-stranded structures are formed, and a higher open-circuit voltage () is observed. This self-powered biosensor with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.012 fM exhibits ultrasensitive CAP detection in milk in the range of 0.1-10 fM as well as excellent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease caused by hyperactivation of the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin 1 (mTORC1) growth pathway in a subset of mesenchymal lung cells. Histopathologically, LAM lesions have been described as immature smooth muscle-like cells positive for the immature melanocytic marker HMB45/PMEL/gp100 and phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (pS6). Advances in single cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology allowed us to group LAM cells according to their expression of cancer stem cell (CSC) genes and identify three clusters: a high CSC-like state (SLS), an intermediate state, and a low CSC-like inflammatory state (IS).

Recombinant human collagen (rhCol) holds broad potential in biomedical and industrial applications due to its high purity and low immunogenicity. However, large-scale production of structurally stable and functionally active rhCol remains challenging. A novel strategy integrating collagen sequence optimization and microbial prolyl-4-hydroxylase (P4H) screening was developed to enable efficient production of triple-helical rhCol in Komagataella phaffii.

Prolyl-4-hydroxylase (P4H) catalyzes the hydroxylation of proline to hydroxyproline, a critical post-translational modification essential for the formation and stability of collagen's triple-helix structure. Although indispensable for recombinant human collagen (rhCol) production, P4H suffers from low expression levels, which significantly limit its industrial application. In this study, we achieved high-level expression of P4H in Komagataella phaffii (K.

Transcription functions as a pivotal biological process in cell biology, which is required to complete the binding of transcription factors (TFs) to transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) on the DNA. Accurate prediction of TFBSs can provide great potential to regulate the expression of interested genes, which can facilitate exploration of new drugs and treatment for diseases. Although many deep learning-based models have been proposed for predicting TFBSs, existing models still have problems, including the use of convolutional processing of DNA sequences that loses information about the DNA double helix structure and fails to adequately account for the stereoscopic structure of DNA shape data in three dimensions.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the interaction of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) with catechins. However, the comparative discussion of multiple catechins interacting simultaneously with β-LG remains unknown. In this study, we comparatively investigated the interaction of three catechins with β-LG in various combinations, such as β-LG-EGCG ((-)-epigallocatechin gallate), β-LG-EGCG-EGC ((-)-epigallocatechin), and β-LG-EGCG-EGC-EC ((-)-epicatechin), and their underlying mechanisms through a series of spectroscopic analyses, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations.
