Unlocking the Potential of MXene‐Based Electrochemical Biosensors: A Review of Biofunctionalization Strategies and Biosensing Principles

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electrochemical biosensors enable the accurate and timely detection of clinical biomarkers, improving healthcare and precision medicine. MXene nanosheets, a class of 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, are promising materials for developing next‐generation electrochemical biosensors due to their unique physicochemical ...

A contribution to a knowledge of Canadian ticks [PDF]

, 2008
During recent years our knowledge of the biology and distribution of the ticks has greatly increased owing to the discovery of the economic importance of this group as carriers of certain serious diseases to man and domesticated animals. In North America

Tunable Applicator for Microneedle‐Based Medical Devices

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents a simple, low‐cost tunable applicator (TAPP) for microneedle array patches that uses a material‐agnostic controlled‐fracture mechanism to ensure reliable skin penetration and uniform array engagement. The scalable, modular design is compatible with injection molding and 3D printing, can be integrated directly into patches, and is ...

Cross-reactivity between hard tick antigens.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas, 1994
1. The present study was carried out to determine the target cells and tissues for anti-tick immunoglobulins using an indirect immunohistochemical technique. 2. Sections in triplicate prepared from unfed ticks Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, R. evertsi and Amblyomma variegatum were used to assess the cross-reactivity of serum from guinea pigs naturally ...

Modulating Integrin and Growth Factor Signaling With Peptides: Strategies to Synergistically Enhance Bone Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...

High genetic diversity in hard ticks from a China-Myanmar border county

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Many tick species have great morphological similarity and are thus grouped into species complexes. Molecular methods are therefore useful in the classification and identification of ticks.

Molecular survey of hard ticks in endemic areas of tick-borne diseases in China

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2013
Over the past several years, there was a substantial increase in the number of cases of known and novel tick-borne infections in humans in China. To better understand the ticks associated with these infections, we collected hard ticks from animals or around livestock shelters in 29 localities in 5 provinces (Beijing, Henan, Hubei, Inner Mongolia, and ...

β‐Triketone‐Based Ionizable Cationic Lipids Synthesized via Click Chemistry for siRNA Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study innovatively applies β‐triketone‐based click chemistry in the synthesis of ionizable cationic lipids (ICLs), which allows the generation of a lipid library in large quantities and in a short time. The ICLs identified achieved effective lipid nanoparticles‐mediated hepatic gene silencing in vivo using siRNA, and computational simulations are ...

Gagosa Mountain virus, a novel arbovirus identified in Ornithodoros lahorensis ticks from the Shigatse region of the Tibetan Plateau

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are the second most important vectors of human diseases after mosquitoes. Hard ticks are more abundant and widespread than soft ticks, resulting in their greater involvement in diverse diseases.
