Aptamer Engineering: Strategies for Discovering Functional Nucleic Acids for Next‐Generation Diagnostics and Biosensing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The advent of aptamers has highlighted their potential as alternatives to antibodies, overcoming limitations of structural instability and production cost. However, conventional approaches such as SELEX remain slow and labor‐intensive. This review examines recent advances in aptamer engineering, emphasizing in vitro and AI‐driven in silico strategies ...

Machine Learning‐Assisted Infectious Disease Detection in Low‐Income Areas: Toward Rapid Triage of Dengue and Zika Virus Using Open‐Source Hardware

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces an affordable machine learning platform for simultaneous dengue and zika detection using fluorine‐doped tin oxide thin films modified with gold nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. Designed for low‐cost, hardware‐limited devices (< $25), the model achieves 95.3% accuracy and uses only 9.4 kB of RAM, demonstrating viability for resource‐

Development of a Novel Aedes aegypti Repellent: An Integrated Approach Combining In Silico and Bioassays

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
OBP1 plays an essential role in the behavior response of Aedes aegypti. The computational approaches employed herein suggest a compound with repellency activity in the ZINC database, which was confirmed by bioassays. ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti is the most important vector of arboviruses, which are responsible for 3.9 billion cases worldwide.
