Influenza viruses present significant challenges to global health. A rapid recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-based detection system for multiple influenza strains (A, H1N1/H2N2/H3N2/H5N1/H7N9 and B) has been developed to address the limitations of 2-h Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) tests. By using optimized primers targeting key viral proteins (M, NA, HA, PA), the method achieves detection in 10 min with 0.99 log linearity (1-10 copies/μL). Clinical validation demonstrated 100% sensitivity and specificity, effectively distinguishing infections from healthy controls. This portable platform shows strong potential for point-of-care (POC) applications in resource-limited settings, offering timely diagnosis and epidemic control through its rapid and accurate detection capabilities.

Recent advances in microfluidic technology have positioned droplet-based systems as versatile microreactors, leveraging their unique interfacial dynamics and mass transfer properties. While precise manipulation of gas-liquid interfaces or external fields enables controlled chemical reactions and drug synthesis, escalating system complexity demands enhanced regulation of droplet thermodynamics and kinetics. The Leidenfrost phenomenon demonstrates significant engineering potential through its capacity to spontaneously form vapor lubrication layers, facilitating noncontact suspension and controlled evaporation of droplets.

There is an increase in demand for bio-nanosatellites and biomedical methodologies as a result of experiments conducted in microgravity and radiation conditions. Currently, the latest trend is to replace the experiments carried out by cosmonauts at the International Space Station (ISS) with research performed with the use of autonomous payload for nanosatellite. This paper describes the lab-payload for a biological nanosatellite of the CubeSat type with a size of 2U (10 × 10 × 20 cm).

Oocyte cryopreservation is a critical step of fertilization (IVF). The handling and loading of cryoprotectant currently rely on manual pipetting methods, which leads to outcome variations, high cost and limited accessibility. Here we developed a low-cost and user-friendly microfluidic device to automate the complex multistep process of oocyte CPA loading, delivering cryopreservation-ready oocytes.
