Visual and rapid detection of Fasciola spp. in fecal samples using a one-pot RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay

Fasciolosis caused by Fasciola spp. has substantial veterinary and public-health importance, while conventional fecal microscopy has limited sensitivity and PCR depends on laboratory equipment. This study aimed to develop a rapid, visual one-pot recombinase polymerase amplificati...

Molecular Detection and Phylogenetic Characterization of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in Amblyomma javanense Ticks from Illegally Traded Malayan Pangolins

Background: The Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica) is a critically endangered species that may harbor diverse zoonotic pathogens. This study aimed to characterize tick species parasitizing confiscated Malayan pangolins and determine the prevalence and genetic diversity of spotted...

Borrowed size, city functional division, and total factor productivity of firms: a study based on city clusters in China

Research indicates that a city’s total factor productivity (TFP) correlates with its size, with larger cities exhibiting higher TFP. However, some smaller cities can achieve high TFP by borrowing their size from surrounding cities, achieving the size necessary to support the bene...

Nanoscale Strategiesfor Improving Plant SalinityTolerance

Abstract Soil salinity poses a major threat to global food security, impairing plant physiology through ionic toxicity, osmotic stress, and oxidative damage. However, conventional breeding and genetic engineering approaches face limitations due to the complexity of stress respons...

Recent Advances in the Functionalization Design and Applications of Natural Polyphenols in Metal–Organic Frameworks

As naturally occurring bioactive molecules derived from plants, polyphenols exhibit significant potential for the functional modification and structural regulation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their unique ortho-phenolic hydroxyl groups, excellent metal-coordinating...
