BRET-based biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 oligonucleotide detection by Asfia Sultana (19170880)

“…Specifically, we designed BioODs against the SARS-CoV-2 parental (Wuhan strain) and B.1.617.2 Delta variant through the conjugation of specific, fluorescently modified molecular beacons (sensor module) through a complementary oligonucleotide handle DNA functionalized with the NanoLuc (NLuc) luciferase protein such that the dissolution of the molecular beacon loop upon the binding of the viral oligonucleotide will result in a decrease in BRET efficiency and, thus, a change in the bioluminescence spectra. …”

Impaired histone deacetylases 5 and 6 expression mimics the effects of obesity and hypoxia on adipocyte function by Julien Bricambert (19738237)

“…Similarly, hypoxia hampered total Hdac activity and reduced the expression of <i>Hdac5</i> and <i>Hdac6</i> in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The decrease of both <i>Hdac5</i> and <i>Hdac6</i> by hypoxia was associated with altered expression of adipokines and of the inducible cAMP early repressor (Icer), a key repressor that is defective in human and mice obesity. …”
