Existing methods for RNA diagnostics, such as reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), mainly rely on nucleic acid amplification (NAA) and RT processes, which are known to introduce substantial issues, including bias, cross-contamination, sample loss. To address these problems, we a confinement effect-inspired Cas13a assay single-molecule eliminating the need NAA RT. This involves confining RNA-triggered catalysis system in cell-like-sized reactors enhance local concentrations of target reporter...
DNA quantification is important for biomedical research, but the routinely used techniques rely on nucleic acid amplification which have inherent issues like cross-contamination risk and bias. Here, we report a CRISPR-Cas12a-based molecular diagnostic technique amplification-free absolute of at single-molecule level. To achieve this, first screened out optimal reaction parameters high-efficient Cas12a assay, yielding over 50-fold improvement in sensitivity compared with reported assays. We...
The recent prevalence of monkeypox has led to the declaration a Public Health Emergency International Concern. Monkeypox lesions are typically ulcers or pustules (containing high titers replication-competent virus) in skin and mucous membranes, which allow virus transmit predominantly through intimate contact. Currently, effective clinical treatments for lacking, strategies blocking transmission fraught with drawbacks. Herein, this work constructs biomimetic nanotemplate (termed TBD@M NPs)...
Abstract Tuberculosis, a fatal infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.tb ), is difficult to treat with antibiotics due drug resistance and short half‐life. Phototherapy represents promising alternative in combating . Exploring an intelligent material allowing effective treatment definitely appealing, yet significantly challenging task. Herein, all‐in‐one biomimetic therapeutic nanoparticle featured aggregation‐induced second near‐infrared emission, granuloma‐targeting,...
Spinal cord injury (SCI), following explosive oxidative stress, causes an abrupt and irreversible pathological deterioration of the central nervous system. Thus, preventing secondary injuries caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well monitoring assessing recovery from SCI are critical for emergency treatment SCI. Herein, strategy is developed based on selenium (Se) matrix antioxidant system to effectively inhibit stress-induced damage simultaneously real-time evaluate severity using a...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a virulent form of an infectious disease that causes global burden due to its high infectivity and fatality rate, especially the irrepressible threats latent infection. Constructing efficient strategy for prevention control TB great significance. Fortunately, we found granulomas are endowed with higher reducibility levels possibly caused by internal inflammation relatively enclosed microenvironment. Therefore, developed first targeted glutathione- (GSH-) responsive...
Electrochemical (EC) sensors have been widely developed for DNA detection, but they are seldom used in a simple, economic, and efficient manner. In this work, the first time, EC cloth-based (ECDSs) as new class of sensors, without need cumbersome chip fabrication high-cost peripheral facilities. Carbon ink- solid wax-based screen printing were to produce ultracheap sensing devices (the cost one sensor is estimated be $0.045). Also, CdTe QDs/MWCNTs nanocomposite (CdTe-MWCNTs) was applied...
Abstract Point‐of‐care (POC) pathogen detection is highly desirable in diverse fields such as infectious disease diagnosis, food safety testing, and environmental monitoring. Herein, the study seeks to address this critical need by developing an automated microfluidic photothermal quantitative polymerase chain reaction (AMP‐qPCR) system a greatly simplified format. A key element of AMP‐qPCR architecture that combines design clockwork‐like, magnetically‐driven multi‐chamber cartridge with use...
