Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-Switching Signaling Aptamers
Razvan Nutiu,Yingfu Li +1 more
TL;DR: This report describes a strategy for designing aptamer-based fluorescent reporters that function by switching structures from DNA/DNA duplex to DNA/target complex, and reports on the preparation of several structure-switching reporters from two existing DNA aptamers.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA-enhanced peroxidase activity of a DNA aptamer-hemin complex
TL;DR: The aptamer-hemin complexes described are novel DNA enzymes and their study will help elucidate the structural and functional requirements of peroxidase enzymes in general and the ways that a nucleic acid 'apoenzyme' might work to enhance the intrinsicPeroxidatic ability of hemin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of Gold Nanoparticle‐Based Colorimetric Biosensing Assays
TL;DR: This Minireview summarizes recent advances in AuNP‐based colorimetric biosensing assays and attempts to provide general guidance on how to design such assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophoretic deposition of biomaterials
TL;DR: How EPD has become an important tool in advanced biomaterials processing, as a convenient alternative to conventional methods, and the potential of the technique to manipulate and control the deposition of a range of nanomaterials of interest in the biomedical and biotechnology fields are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frozen vs Fresh Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Clinical Resolution of Diarrhea in Patients With Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: Among adults with recurrent or refractory CDI, the use of frozen compared with fresh FMT did not result in worse proportion of clinical resolution of diarrhea, and its use is a reasonable option in this setting.
