Breakthrough in Hepatitis B Virus Detection: Researchers Develop Efficient DNA Tagging Strategy

Researchers from the Chinese Institute for Brain Research have developed a modular, site-specific, and cost-efficient DNA tagging strategy for detecting hepatitis B virus, enabling multiplexed and high-throughput biomolecule detection. Using nanobodies as modular adaptors, the team created a one-component design that allows for direct site-specific labeling of off-the-shelf IgG antibodies.

Researchers Identify Clinically Relevant Profiles in Colon Cancer Through Integrated Analysis of Bacterial DNA and Metabolome

Researchers from Complutense University have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the relationship between microbiota and colorectal cancer. The study, published in Frontiers in Immunology, aimed to identify serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. By analyzing bacterial DNA and metabolomic profiles in 64 serum samples from patients with
