An overexpression of sialic acid is an indicator of metastatic cancer, and selective detection of sialic acid shows potential for cancer diagnosis. Boronic acid is a promising candidate for this...

The mining of antidiabetic dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides (DPP-IV-IPs) is currently a costly and laborious process. Due to the absence of rational peptide design rules, it relies on...

Various viral diseases can be widespread and cause severe disruption to global society. Highly sensitive virus detection methods are needed to take effective measures to prevent the spread of viral...

Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is accurate in nucleic acid quantification owing to its linearity and high sensitivity. Amplification of nucleic acid in droplets, however, is limited by the stability of...

Liposome targeting by conjugation with specific ligands and cross-linking reagents is an attractive strategy for active drug delivery. Here, we demonstrated the potential of surface layer protein (Slp) B from...

Conventional microbial cultivation methods usually have cumbersome operations, low throughput, low efficiency, and large consumption of labor and reagents. Moreover, microplate-based high-throughput cultivation methods developed in recent years have poor...

Conventional microbial cell cultivation techniques are typically labor intensive, low throughput, and poorlyparallelized, rendering them inefficient. The development of automated, modular microbial cell micro-cultivation systems, particularly those employing droplet microfluidics,...

Xylanases have useful applications in a wide range of industries. In this regard, Pichia pastoris has become one of the most attractive host platforms for large-scale production of xylanases. However,...

Microorganisms have long been used as chemical plant to convert simple substrates into complex molecules. Various metabolic pathways have been optimised over the past few decades, but the progresses were...
