Nanopore sequencing combined with DNA-barcoded probes enables multiplexed detection of diverse biomarkers in blood serum.

This study establishes a method for multiplexed detection of up to 40 different biomarkers in a single assay by combining nanopore sequencing with analyte-selective barcoded probes, including cardiac disease-associated microRNA directly from blood serum.

A probe reports absolute sodium levels in acidic organelles with single-organelle resolution.

A potassium activity reporter detects organelle-specific channel function.

Nanopore sequencing combined with DNA-barcoded probes enables multiplexed detection of diverse biomarkers in blood serum.

Two new studies in Nature Biotechnology describe cellular recording systems that incorporate time-resolved optical signals into self-assembling protein filaments.

Nanosensors allow early detection of the onset and type of plant stress for a more precise and sustainable agriculture

Pooled testing for the diagnosis of COVID-19 via isothermal nucleic acid amplification and detection can be automated by using electromagnetically actuated swarms of millimetric magnets to handle droplets of magnetized samples on a microfluidic chip.
