Sensitive platform: The use of graphene oxide (GO) as a platform for the sensitive and selective detection DNA proteins is presented. interaction GO dye-labeled single-stranded leads to quenching dye fluorescence. Conversely, presence target or protein binding target, releasing from GO, thereby restoring fluorescence (see picture).
Abstract Auf Graphenoxid (GO) beruht ein empfindliches und selektives Verfahren zum DNA‐ Proteinnachweis. Durch die Wechselwirkung von GO mit einer farbstoffmarkierten Einzelstrang‐DNA wird Fluoreszenz des Farbstoffs gelöscht. Sind Ziel‐DNAs oder Zielproteine vorhanden, binden sie an farbstoffmarkierte DNA spalten ab, sodass erneut fluoresziert (siehe Bild). magnified image
Nucleic acid-functionalized polyacrylamide chains that are cooperatively cross-linked by i-motif and nucleic acid duplex units yield, at pH 5.0, DNA hydrogels exhibiting shape-memory properties. Separation of the 8.0 dissolves hydrogel into a quasi-liquid phase. The residual provide, however, memory code in allowing regeneration shape 5.0.

Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful approach for silencing genes associated with variety of pathologic conditions; however, in vivo RNAi delivery has remained major challenge due to lack safe, efficient, and sustained systemic delivery. Here, we report on novel overcome these limitations using multistage vector composed mesoporous silicon particles (stage 1 microparticles, S1MP) loaded neutral nanoliposomes (dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine, DOPC) containing small interfering (siRNA)...
This communication describes the design of a novel and general bioresponsive controlled-release mesoporous silica (MS) nanoparticles system based on aptamer−target interactions. In this system, pores MS were capped with Au modified aptamer (ATP in case). By competitive displacement reaction, uncapped presence ATP molecule, cargo was released. Our results demonstrated that interaction may be promising route for custom-made nanodevices specifically governed by target biomolecules. Since...

In this work, we report a facile approach for imprinting protein based on self-polymerization of dopamine in the presence template Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) surface. Dopamine, commonly known as neurotransmitter, is also small-molecule mimic adhesive proteins mussels. Self-polymerization can produce thin polydopamine (PDA) layer NPs During dopamine, some molecules were embedded PDA layer. After removal these molecules, imprinted sites are created. The prepared Fe3O4@PDA shows high binding...

Abstract The use of hydrogel‐based bone adhesives has the potential to revolutionize clinical treatment repairs. However, severe deficiencies remain in current products, including cytotoxicity concerns, inappropriate mechanical strength, and poor fixation performance wet biological environments. Inspired by unique roles glue molecules robust strength fracture resistance bone, a design strategy is proposed using novel mineral–organic for strong water‐resistant guided tissue regeneration....
Turn up the volume: In a simple and highly sensitive aptamer-based assay that relies on ability of nanomaterials to protect DNA from nuclease cleavage, aptamer is released nanomaterial when challenged with target. The then cleaves free releases target, which can initiate new cycle. Recycling target in this way leads significant signal amplification (see diagram).
RNA interference holds tremendous potential as a therapeutic approach, especially in the treatment of malignant tumors. However, efficient and biocompatible delivery methods are needed for systemic small interfering (siRNA). To maintain high level growth, tumor cells scavenge high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles by overexpressing its receptor: scavenger receptor type B1 (SR-B1). In this study, we exploited cellular characteristic to achieve siRNA established novel formulation...
