Abrégé

Rapid, sensitive, and specific point-of-care testing for pathogens is crucial for disease control. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been employed for nucleic acid detection, but they have limited sensitivity and specificity. A fusion of catalytically inactive Cas9 endonuclease and a relaxase for example, VirD2 are used for sensitive, specific nucleic acid detection by LFA. VirD2-dCas9 specifically binds the target nucleic acid sequence via dCas9 and covalently binds to a FAM-tagged oligonucleotide via VirD2. The biotin label and FAM tag are detected using a LFA. This system, termed Vigilant (VirD2-dCas9 guided and LFA-coupled nucleic acid test) is coupled to reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification to detect pathogenic nucleic acid of interest in a sample, it exhibits an impressive limit of detection and shows no cross-reactivity, thus reducing incidents of false positives. Vigilant offers an easy-to-use, rapid, cost-effective, and robust detection platform for SARS-CoV2.

Described are nanogels suitable for scaffolds for encapsulating human dermal fibroblasts for non-healing chronic wounds. Peptide nanogels Ac-IVZK-NH2 and Ac-IVFK-NH2 are selected and produce silver nanoparticles in situ within the nanogels to assess their efficacy on micropigs with full-thickness excision wounds. The in situ generation of the silver nanoparticles is done solely through UV irradiation and no reducing agent is used. Application of the peptide nanogels on full thickness micropig wounds demonstrate that the scaffolds are biocompatible and do not trigger wound inflammation. This suggests that scaffolds are safe for topical application. A comparison of the effect of both nanogels even without the addition of the silver nanoparticles, reveals that the scaffold itself has a high potential as an antibacterial agent, which may suppress both the inflammatory reaction and the activity of proteases. The effect on wound closure of the peptide nanogels is comparable to standard care hydrogels.

A facile strategy is used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles via a green and simple approach showing self-alignment on the assembled nanofibers of ultrashort oligopeptides as a composite material. A photochemical reduction method is used, without requiring any external chemical reagents for the reduction of gold ions and producing gold nanoparticles of size ca. 5 nm under mild UV light exposure. The specific arrangement of gold nanoparticles on peptide nanofibers may indicate electrostatic interactions of two components and interactions with the amino group of the peptide building block. The gold-peptide nanoparticle composites show the ability as a catalyst to degradation of environmental pollutant p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol, and the reaction rate constant for catalysis is 0.057 min−1 at a 50-fold dilute sample of 2 mg/mL and 0.72 mM gold concentration in the composites. This colloidal strategy helps researchers to fabricate the metalized bioorganic composites for biomedical and bio-catalysis applications.

A method for diagnosing a disease, such as breast cancer, in a biological sample using spectroscopic data is described. The method involves computer-implemented method that runs an algorithm. The algorithm converts spectroscopic vibrational from the sample into a profile, and scores the profile using a pair of reference profiles. Based on the score and a threshold, it can be determined whether the subject from which the sample was obtained has a disease, and, if so, to what extent. The method also allows detection of early and pre-disease states in subjects based on the detection of signal of low concentration analytes that are indicative of early or incipient disease state. The method is non-invasive, non-subjective, and highly specific and sensitive. The method affords the application of a single standard of diagnostic accuracy, independent of the local availability of expert pathologists.
