Distinguishing dopamine and calcium responses using XNA-nanotube sensors for improved neurochemical sensing

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci, Daniel Eduardo Morales Garza

To date, the engineering of single-stranded DNA-SWCNT (DNA-SWCNT) optical biosensors have largely focused on creating sensors for new applications with little focus on optimising existing sensors for in vitro and in vivo conditions. Recent studies have sho ...

Detecting DNA and RNA and Differentiating Single-Nucleotide Variations via Field-Effect Transistors

Nako Nakatsuka, Yang Yang, Bowen Zhu

We detect short oligonucleotides and distinguish between sequences that differ by a single base, using label-free, electronic field-effect transistors (FETs). Our sensing platform utilizes ultrathin-film indium oxide FETs chemically functionalized with sin ...

Allele-specific gene editing prevents deafness in a model of dominant progressive hearing loss

Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega, Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro

Since most dominant human mutations are single nucleotide substitutions(1,2), we explored gene editing strategies to disrupt dominant mutations efficiently and selectively without affecting wild-type alleles. However, single nucleotide discrimination can b ...

Aptamer Recognition of Multiplexed Small-Molecule-Functionalized Substrates

Nako Nakatsuka

Aptamers are chemically synthesized oligonucleotides or peptides with molecular recognition capabilities. We investigated recognition of substrate-tethered small-molecule targets, using neurotransmitters as examples, and fluorescently labeled DNA aptamers. ...

Improvement of breast cancer diagnosis through microfluidics

Huu Tuan Nguyen

In breast cancer, 15-20% of cases are reported with overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) that causes rapid cancer progression and poor prognosis. Fortunately, HER2-targeted therapy using specific antibodies such as Trastuzumab ...

Microfluidic-assisted chromogenic in situ hybridization (MA-CISH) for fast and accurate breast cancer diagnosis

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Huu Tuan Nguyen, Léa Suzanne Bernier

Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) is a common technique that is used for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assessment in breast cancer diagnosis. CISH is based on the enzymatic amplification of DNA markers, generating a colorimetric im ...
