Nanopore-based Strategy for Selective Detection of Single Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Molecules

open access: yes, 2020
Nanopores have become one of the most important tools for single-molecule sensing, but the challenge for selective detection of specific biomolecules still exists. In this contribution, we develop a new technique for sensing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)

Augmenting and Assaying Nav1.1 Protein Quantity for Dravet Syndrome Therapy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy predominantly caused by heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in SCN1A, which encodes Nav1.1. Conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in SCN1A were validated to regulate translation in reporter assays, demonstrating the therapeutic viability of increasing Nav1.1 from ...

Nanopore-Assisted, Sequence-Specific Detection, and Single-Molecule Hybridization Analysis of Short, Single-Stranded DNAs

open access: yes, 2019
We report here on the ability of the α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore to achieve label-free, selective, and real-time detection of 15 nt long ssDNA fragments in solution, by exploiting their hybridization with freely added, polycationic peptides ...

Density Measurement of Irradiated and Nonirradiated Zirconium Oxide by Ptychographic X‐Ray Computed Tomography (PXCT)

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mass density governs the protective behavior of oxide layers on nuclear fuel cladding. Ptychographic X‐ray computed tomography measures zirconium oxide grown on Zircaloy‐4 under reactor and autoclave conditions, revealing nearly identical bulk densities of 5.1 ± 0.80 g cm−3.

Nanoconfinement‐Induced Second‐Harmonic Circular Dichroism via Chirality–Ferroelectric Coupling

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoconfinement of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal within a chiral nanoporous sponge yields an enhanced second‐harmonic generation circular dichroism (|gSHG–CD| ≈ 1.1). Polarization‐resolved analysis suggests an additional magnetic‐dipole‐associated nonlinear contribution under nanoconfinement, highlighting chirality–ferroelectric coupling as a ...

Direct RNA sequencing coupled with adaptive sampling enriches RNAs of interest in the transcriptome

open access: yesNature Communications
Abundant cellular transcripts occupy most of the sequencing reads in the transcriptome, making it challenging to assay for low-abundant transcripts. Here, we utilize the adaptive sampling function of Oxford Nanopore sequencing to selectively deplete and ...
