Ribonuclease-responsive DNA Nanoswitches
A DNA nanoswitch that provides a simple mix-and-read methodology to detect RNases (ribonucleases) in a biological sample.
Background: RNases are involved in many biological processes including neurotoxicity, genome replication and maintenance, immune-suppression, and antitumor activity. RNase inhibitors are also potential drug candidates and biomarkers...

DsDNA-templated Substrates as Fluorescent Probes for CRISPR-Cas12a-based Diagnostics
New design for CRISPR-based fluorescent probes improves disease diagnostics and sensing. Background: Scientists use the naturally occurring CRISPR-Cas12a gene editing system as a valuable tool for disease diagnostics. When Cas12a finds its target -- a sequence of double-stranded DNA -- it cuts it. In the process, it also cuts other nearby DNAs. Scientists...

Determining the Donor Age Based on Raman Spectroscopy of a Bloodstain
Novel methodology helps forensic investigators determine victim's age from bloodstains.
Background:
In the absence of a body at a crime scene, forensic investigators must rely on whatever biological material is left behind to determine the sex, race, and age of perpetrators and victims. That often means analyzing stains like blood, sweat, and...

ABI1 Regulates Transcriptional Activity of Androgen Receptor by Novel DNA and AR Binding Mechanism
Provides new pathways for biomarkers and drug discovery for cancer patients.
Background:
The gene Abelson interactor protein-1 (ABI1) encodes a member of the Abelson-interactor family of adaptor proteins. These proteins facilitate signal transduction as components of several multiprotein complexes, and regulate actin polymerization and cytoskeletal...
