Aims: Glioma-associated oncogene homologue 1 () was recently shown to be coamplified with mouse double minute 2 (), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 () and some other adjacent genes in a significant subset of -altered mesenchymal tumours and well-differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcomas, which are characterised by amplification. Given that is also amplified in low-grade osteosarcoma (LGOS), we investigated the prevalence of amplifications/fusions in a series of 15 cases of -amplified LGOS, an area that has not been previously explored.
Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis and examined amplifications/fusions in 15 cases of -amplified LGOS and 46 cases of other bone tumours and tumour-like lesions using fluorescence in situ hybridisation with a amplification probe and a break-apart probe. Six cases of LGOS were also tested by next-generation sequencing.
Results: Fluorescence in situ hybridisation analysis revealed that 13 of 15 (87%) LGOS cases exhibited amplification; no fusion gene was found. Next-generation sequencing revealed that all six tested cases showed amplification and one case had both amplification and gene fusion (). All 46 cases of other bone tumours and tumour-like lesions were negative for amplification and fusion.
Conclusion: These results indicate that amplification is common in LGOS, and fusion could occur in LGOS.

Despite the promise of electrochemical biosensors in amplified nucleic acid diagnostics, existing high-sensitivity platforms often rely on a multilayer surface assembly and cascade amplification confined to the electrode interface. These stepwise strategies suffer from inefficient enzyme activity, poor mass transport, and inconsistent probe orientation, which compromise the amplification efficiency, reproducibility, and practical applicability. To address these limitations, we report a programmable dual-phase electrochemical biosensing system that decouples amplification from signal transduction.

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) has revolutionized nucleic acid detection owing to its isothermal simplicity. However, over two decades of clinical application have been hampered by off-target amplification and incompatibility with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Herein, a strategy, specifically cleavage of rationally designed DNA/RNA chimeric hairpin preprimer by dsDNA-targeted CRISPR/Cas12a to rlease ssRNA for initiating RCA (SCOPE-RCA), is proposed for nucleic acid identification of African swine fever virus (ASFV).

Pax-5a gene, as a nucleic acid biomarker closely associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), holds significant potential for early disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a highly accurate and efficient "on-super on-off" photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on a dual-photoelectrode heterojunction system integrated with a multisphere cascade DNA amplification strategy. The designed heterojunction dual-photoelectrode platform, comprising a InO/CdS photoanode (on state) and an in situ-formed MIL-68(In)/InO (MIO) photocathode, effectively extends the electron-hole transport pathway, enhances photogenerated charge separation, and produces high-amplitude signal output (super on state), thereby providing a robust baseline for signal transduction.

While clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy with regards to audiological performance, safety and compliance, data on real-world paediatric cohorts is scarce.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analysed data from paediatric patients fitted with ADHEAR at a tertiary centre between January 2017 and September 2024.

Aims/hypothesis: Unimolecular peptides targeting the receptors for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon (GCG) have been shown to improve glycaemic management in both mice and humans. Yet the identity of the downstream signalling events mediated by these peptides remain to be elucidated. Here, we aimed to assess the mechanisms by which a validated peptide triagonist for GLP-1/GIP/GCG receptors (IUB447) stimulates insulin secretion in murine pancreatic islets.
