CRISPR-Cas systems have been widely used in genome editing and transcriptional
regulation. Recently, CRISPR-Cas effectors are adopted for biosensor construction due to its …

The combination of nanomaterials (NMs) and aptamers into aptasensors enables highly
specific and sensitive detection of diverse pollutants. The great potential of aptasensors is …

With the move of molecular tests from diagnostic labs to on-site testing becoming more
common, there is a sudden rise in demand for nucleic acid-based diagnostic tools that are …

An aptamer is a single-stranded DNA or RNA that binds to a specific target with high binding
affinity. Aptamers are developed through the process of systematic evolution of ligands by …

The burden of food contamination and food wastage has significantly contributed to the
increased prevalence of foodborne disease and food insecurity all over the world. Due to …

Contaminants, such as nucleic acids or toxic small molecules, threaten both human health
and ecosystems when they infiltrate the environment. The precise and highly sensitive …
