Linking the state of environmental DNA to its application for biomonitoring and stock assessment: Targeting mitochondrial/nuclear genes, and different DNA fragment lengths and particle sizes

Environmental DNA, 2022
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a revolutionary tool for non‐invasive, cost‐effective, and highly sensitive monitoring of species distribution and abundance; however, there remain some uncertainties related to eDNA detection and quantification, as ...

The Application of PMA (Propidium Monoazide) to Different Target Sequence Lengths of Zebrafish eDNA: A New Approach Aimed Toward Improving Environmental DNA Ecology and Biological Surveillance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has enabled more sensitive and efficient biological monitoring than traditional methods. However, since the target species is not directly observed, interpretation of results cannot preclude process Type I errors ...

Pollen DNA metabarcoding identifies regional provenance and high plant diversity in Australian honey

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Accurate identification of the botanical components of honey can be used to establish its geographical provenance, while also providing insights into honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) diet and foraging preferences. DNA metabarcoding has been demonstrated as a

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

BioEISense: A Microfluidic Platform for Real‐Time Monitoring of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation and the Efficacy of Antibiofilm Agents

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
BioEISense is a microfluidic device with integrated impedance sensors, for real‐time, label‐free monitoring of S. aureus biofilms. In this study, the biofilm culture conditions were optimized to support sensitive and reproducible detection of biofilm formation and eradication under dynamic flow‐through conditions. The system was also validated for both

Tropomyosin 1 Promotes Platelet Adhesion and Clot Contraction Separate from Its Roles in Developmental Hematopoiesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) link the Tropomyosin 1 (Tpm1) locus to quantitative blood trait variation, but related mechanisms are unclear. Tpm1 encodes an actin‐binding protein that regulates actin filament diversity, cell adhesion, signaling, and actomyosin contractility.

Comparative metagenomics of two shallow marine microbial communities in western Greenland

Polar Research
Metagenomic profiles of marine microbial communities from Greenlandic coastal waters remain scarce, despite the central role played by this region in discussions of global climate change. This study characterizes the taxonomic and functional structure of

Use of environmental sequencing in evaluating fungal response to peatland degradation [PDF]

Mires and Peat
Central European peatlands are critically endangered by climate change, eutrophication, disturbed water regime and inappropriate management. This leads to their degradation, which affects all components of these habitats including fungi, and ...

Targeting Golgi–STING Signaling to Reprogram Innate and Adaptive Immunity for the Treatment of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatform, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs, with a BaTiO3/Mn‐Zif‐8 core and a chondroitin sulfate coating for Golgi targeting. By leveraging neutrophil hitchhiking, it enables targeted delivery to infection sites. Under ultrasound stimulation, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs generates ROS and modulates Golgi pH to activate cGAS–STING ...
