Article Abstract

Conventional photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors with a single recognition interface frequently exhibit limitations in delivering comprehensive concentration information for target analytes in multiplex detection systems. The present work leverages the triple allostery of single-stranded DNA conformation to construct a "signal-on" and "signal-off" switchable PEC sensing platform, thereby propelling the advancement of DNA logic gate-integrated PEC analytical systems toward precise quantification and multiplex qualitative analysis of viruses in aquatic environments. The engineered OR-type logic gate-integrated PEC platform, harnessing the dual metal ion enzyme-mediated cascade signal amplification system, exhibited superior quantitative performance for dual-virus detection with a wider linear range from 0.01 to 100 nM and a low detection limit of 69 fM for () and 84 fM for (). Practical validation studies demonstrated that the AND-type logic gate-empowered PEC system displays an accurate qualitative capability for multiple target viruses, thus highlighting its potential for complex environmental monitoring. This work, based on the signal probe conformational allosteric-assisted DNA logic gate-enabled PEC multiplex detection, is expected to provide novel insights into the transduction mechanisms of multiplex detection signals and offer new perspectives for advanced multiplex PEC sensor development.

Plastoglobuli (PG) are plant lipoprotein compartments, present in plastid organelles. They are involved in the formation and/or storage of lipophilic metabolites. FIBRILLINs (FBNs) are one of the main PG-associated proteins and are particularly abundant in carotenoid-enriched chromoplasts found in ripe fruits and flowers.

Background: Hospital surfaces are critical reservoirs of multidrug-resistant pathogens, including third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (3GC-R-GNB), significantly contributing to healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). This challenge is pronounced in low- and middle-income countries, where resource constraints limit effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. This study screened hospital surfaces for 3GC-R-GNB in selected District Hospitals (DHs) in Mwanza, Tanzania.

Objectives: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of lung tumors and is marked by aggressive growth and early metastatic spread. In this study, we used two SCLC mouse models with differing tumor mutation burdens (TMB). To investigate tumor composition, spatial architecture, and interactions with the surrounding microenvironment, we acquired multiplexed images of mouse lung tumors using imaging mass cytometry (IMC).

Background: Dengue and chikungunya are arboviral diseases with overlapping clinical characteristics. Dengue virus (DENV) is endemic in Colombia, and in 2014/2015, the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) caused an epidemic that resulted in over 350,000 cases. Since then, both viruses have been actively co-circulating.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the performance of different clinical specimens-nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs collected by healthcare professionals (HCP-NP), self-collected nasal swabs (Sc-N), and saliva samples (S)-in diagnostic tests for investigating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA and influenza A/B RNA.

Methodology: These clinical samples were collected from 404 symptomatic cases and tested with the SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/B RNA tests on the cobas 6800 System of Roche Molecular Systems (Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, USA). The SARS-CoV-2 or influenza virus infection status was determined for all patients based on the predefined criteria and corresponding algorithms.
