The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

A clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat‐Cas12a‐based assay for rapid dengue virus monitoring in mosquito and clinical samples facilitating global collaborative surveillance and risk assessment to block dengue spreading

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The RAA‐Cas12a assay outperforms real‐time PCR in sensitivity (92.3%) while matching its specificity (100%) for dengue virus detection in clinical samples. It effectively identifies DENV in mosquitoes, with field data correlating to local outbreaks. This rapid, simple, and precise method serves as an early warning tool for dengue management.

Serological evidence of Zika virus infection in febrile patients at Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Accra Ghana

BMC Research Notes, 2019
Objective Increase in the evidence of global occurrence of Zika viral infection suggests that in Africa the circulation of the virus which causes 80% of asymptomatic infection could be undetected and/or overlooked.

Lymph‐based liquid biopsy: Current progress and future potential

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Recent evidence under the revised Starling principle indicates that lymph‐based liquid biopsies may offer superior diagnostic performance over blood‐based counterparts in certain clinical scenarios, such as early‐stage solid tumor detection. Currently, various biomarkers within the lymphatic system show significant diagnostic potential for a range of ...

Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chip models for investigating the pathophysiology of the human reproductive system

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chips are advancing reproductive system research. In the female reproductive system, applications include cancer organoid models, placental chips, and hormone simulation models. For the male reproductive system, research focuses on drug resistance mechanisms, co‐culture platforms, and infertility studies. These refined in vitro

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...
