A Peptide Nucleic Acid‐Functionalized Heterojunction Thin Film Transistor as a Scalable and Reusable Platform for Label‐Free Detection of MicroRNA

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A miniaturized, label‐free, and enzyme‐free biosensor (miR‐TFT) enables direct electrical detection of microRNA (miRNA) with single‐nucleotide specificity and a detection limit of 0.6 fM. Built on a tri‐channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction and functionalized with bespoke peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes, the device is robust, reusable, and compatible with

Prediction of Deleterious Nonsynonymous Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism for Human Diseases

TheScientificWorldJournal, 2013
The identification of genetic variants that are responsible for human inherited diseases is a fundamental problem in human and medical genetics. As a typical type of genetic variation, nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) occurring in ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms as a prerequisite for autoantigens [PDF]

European Journal of Immunology, 2005
AbstractIt is still elusive why certain self proteins induce an autoimmune response. One immunological hypothesis is that only modified or altered self‐proteins may become a target. Thus, we asked whether such alterations may actually be genetic polymorphisms that can be revealed by analyzing sequence variability in the known human autoantigens. Indeed,

Aggregation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a Human H5N1 Clade 2.2 Hemagglutinin [PDF]

, 2007
The evolution of H5N1 has attracted significant interest 1-4 due to linkages with avian 5,6 and human infections 7,8. The basic tenets of influenza genetics 9 attribute genetic drift to replication errors caused by a polymerase complex that lacks a ...

Impact of IFN lambda 3/4 single nucleotide polymorphisms on the cytomegalovirus reactivation in autologous stem cell transplant patients [PDF]

, 2018
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection represents one of the main cause mortality after Stem Cell Transplantation. Recently, a protective effect of the T allele of rs12979860 IL28B Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) against CMV infection in the allogenic ...

A Novel Brain Penetrable Nanocarrier Delivers Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor to Treat Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel blood‐brain barrier‐penetrating terpolymer nanoparticle to deliver brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is designed. The BDNF‐TPN significantly enhances BDNF accumulation in the brain following intravenous injection, reduces apoptosis and neuroinflammation, thus promoting neuronal survival and ...

Accurate differentiation of Escherichia coli and Shigella serogroups: challenges and strategies

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
Shigella spp. and Escherichia coli are closely related; both belong to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Phenotypically, Shigella spp. and E. coli share many common characteristics, yet they have separate entities in epidemiology and clinical disease, which

Association of rs2075650 polymorphism of tomm40 gene with type 2 diabetes in Dilijan city, Iran [PDF]

مجله علوم پزشکی فیض (پیوسته), 2023
Background and Aim: The tomm40 gene encodes the Tomm40 protein, which is a translocase in the mitochondrial outer membrane. Changes in the tomm40 gene can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, the association between rs2075650 polymorphism of

Estimating Additive and Non-Additive Genetic Variances and Predicting Genetic Merits Using Genome-Wide Dense Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers

PLoS ONE, 2012
Non-additive genetic variation is usually ignored when genome-wide markers are used to study the genetic architecture and genomic prediction of complex traits in human, wild life, model organisms or farm animals. However, non-additive genetic effects may

Relationships Among Beef Cow Productivity Traits and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Bovine Heat Shock Protein 70 Gene [PDF]

, 2018
When eukaryotes are exposed to stressors such as heat, toxins, and low oxygen levels, heat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized to maintain normal cellular function within the body.
