#Review Microfluidics-Based Biosensing Platforms: Emerging Frontiers in Point-of-Care Testing SARS-CoV-2 and Seroprevalence by Elda A. Flores-Contreras, et al. https://lnkd.in/egzVzexY MDPI Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #microfluidic #chip #biosensors #diagnostics #openaccess #Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019) outbreak and has unprecedentedly impacted the public health and economic sector. The pandemic has forced researchers to focus on the accurate and early detection of SARS-CoV-2, developing novel diagnostic tests. Among these, microfluidic-based tests stand out for their multiple benefits, such as their portability, low cost, and minimal reagents used. This review discusses the different microfluidic platforms applied in detecting SARS-CoV-2 and seroprevalence, classified into three sections according to the molecules to be detected, i.e., (1) nucleic acid, (2) antigens, and (3) anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Moreover, commercially available alternatives based on microfluidic platforms are described. Timely and accurate results allow healthcare professionals to perform efficient treatments and make appropriate decisions for infection control; therefore, novel developments that integrate microfluidic technology may provide solutions in the form of massive diagnostics to control the spread of infectious diseases.

🌟 Introducing the RETOS Project in Collaboration with UAB and Sant Pau 🌟 We are excited to share with our network the ongoing project in partnership with the IBB UAB and the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau! We are proud to lead the consortium and participate in this project financed by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación from Spain’s Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (Retos public-private collaboration program). 🔍 Project Insights The primary goal of this project is to develop a tumor-agnostic therapy targeting CXCR4+ patients with various types of metastatic cancer using a novel protein-based drug. This therapy aims to benefit metastatic patients overexpressing the CXCR4 receptor, regardless of the location of the primary tumor. 💡 Why This Matters This proposal addresses the critical issue of the lack of selectivity in current cytotoxic drug administration, which results in unwanted toxicity, limits the therapeutic index, and allows metastasis to progress. Our project aims to develop a drug that can efficiently kill cancer cells responsible for metastasis without harming non-tumor tissues. This represents a new class of safer, targeted cytotoxic drugs based on an innovative biotechnological platform designed to treat highly aggressive CXCR4+ cancer types. #Nanoligent #UAB #InstitutdeRecercaSantPau #Nanotechnology #ProteinEngineering #Innovation #HealthcareInnovation #Biotech #Oncology

Physical activity, sedentary behavior and microbiome: a systematic review and Meta-analysis. https://lnkd.in/d27dMkMN Inmaculada Pérez Prieto, Abel Adrián Plaza Florido, Esther Ubago-Guisado, Francisco B Ortega and Signe Altmäe (Universidad de Granada) Physical activity levels were positively associated with the relative abundance of short-chain fatty acids-producing bacteria. Athletes seem to have a richer microbiome compared to non-athletes. However, high heterogeneity between studies avoids to obtain conclusive information on the role of physical activity in microbial composition. Future multi-omics studies would enhance our understanding of the molecular effects of physical activity and sedentary behavior on the microbiome. #exercise #microbiota #sequencing #metagenomics #16S #microbiome

In the current AR issue, Martin Heidinger, Salvatore Piscuoglio, Miguel Gallardo, Santiago Barrio, Beatriz García Peláez, Miguel Ángel Molina Vila, Ruth Stefanie Eller, Ilaria Alborelli and Hector Peinado, among others from University Hospital Basel and CNIO - Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, assessed the feasibility of #extracellular #vesicle DNA (EV-DNA) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) #extraction and #sequencing in old #serum samples of patients with #breast #cancer (BC). The median age of the samples was 36.1 years, and EV and cfDNA were both extracted from 100% of the included samples. Both DNA quantity and concentration were comparable between EV-DNA and cfDNA, while sequencing was successfully performed in 100% of the samples. These results show that EV-DNA extraction and sequencing, representing a novel technology in BC research, can be successfully employed in old #breastcancer serum samples and has the potential to address clinically relevant questions in #longitudinal studies with #longterm #followup.
