Abstract

Rapid and simple detection of RNA targets is in high demand due to the growing threat of pandemic viruses. One-step real-time, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (One-step RT-qPCR) using a controlled release system of thermo-responsive materials is developed in this paper to enable high-fidelity RNA analysis as suppressing by-products. The nanocapsules, consisting of upper critical solution temperature (UCST) material and PCR primers, carry or release the primers depending upon the temperature. The UCST nanocapsules are introduced into hydrogel microparticles incorporated with RT primers and then the target RNA is selectively amplified in the microparticle through one-step RT-qPCR. Severe side products are sharply subdued by separating the PCR primers from the RT process by means of the microparticles with nanocapsules. Because the one-step assay is now implemented in a single microparticle, multiple target RNAs can be analyzed in a simple RT-qPCR of multiple particles. Reliable 18-plex one-step RT-qPCR is successfully conducted within 30 min using single-color fluorescent optics. This work also explains the facile fabrication processes used for the thermo-responsive nanocapsules and hydrogel microparticles by the ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
