Abstract
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) pose a grave threat to human health, with bacterial pathogens being the primary culprits behind severe illness and mortality. In response to the pressing issue, we developed a centrifugal microfluidic chip integrated with a recombinase-aided amplification (RAA)-clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system to achieve rapid detection of respiratory pathogens. The limitations of conventional two-step CRISPR-mediated systems were effectively addressed by employing the all-in-one RAA-CRISPR detection method, thereby enhancing the accuracy and sensitivity of bacterial detection. Moreover, the integration of a centrifugal microfluidic chip led to reduced sample consumption and significantly improved the detection throughput, enabling the simultaneous detection of multiple respiratory pathogens. Furthermore, the incorporation of Chelex-100 in the sample pretreatment enabled a sample-to-answer capability. This pivotal addition facilitated the deployment of the system in real clinical sample testing, enabling the accurate detection of 12 common respiratory bacteria within a set of 60 clinical samples. The system offers rapid and reliable results that are crucial for clinical diagnosis, enabling healthcare professionals to administer timely and accurate treatment interventions to patients.

Abstract
Metal ion contamination has serious impacts on environmental and biological health, so it is crucial to effectively monitor the levels of these metal ions. With the continuous progression of optoelectronic nanotechnology and biometrics, the emerging electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing technology has not only proven its simplicity, but also showcased its utility and remarkable sensitivity in engineered monitoring of residual heavy metal contaminants. This comprehensive review begins by introducing the composition, advantages, and detection principles of ECL biosensors, and delving into the engineered aspects. Furthermore, it explores two signal amplification methods: biometric element-based strategies (e.g., HCR, RCA, EDC, and CRISPR/Cas) and nanomaterial (NM)-based amplification, including quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, carbon-based nanomaterials, and porous nanomaterials. Ultimately, this review envisions future research trends and engineered technological enhancements of ECL biosensors to meet the surging demand for metal ion monitoring.

Abstract
Sugar beet is a crop with high sucrose content, known for sugar production and recently being considered as an emerging raw material for bioethanol production. This crop is also utilized as cattle feed, mainly when animal green fodder is scarce. Bioethanol and hydrogen gas production from this crop is an essential source of clean energy. Environmental stresses (abiotic/biotic) severely affect the productivity of this crop. Over the past few decades, the molecular mechanisms of biotic and abiotic stress responses in sugar beet have been investigated using next-generation sequencing, gene editing/silencing, and over-expression approaches. This information can be efficiently utilized through CRISPR/Cas 9 technology to mitigate the effects of abiotic and biotic stresses in sugar beet cultivation. This review highlights the potential use of CRISPR/Cas 9 technology for abiotic and biotic stress management in sugar beet. Beet genes known to be involved in response to alkaline, cold, and heavy metal stresses can be precisely modified via CRISPR/Cas 9 technology for enhancing sugar beet's resilience to abiotic stresses with minimal off-target effects. Similarly, CRISPR/Cas 9 technology can help generate insect-resistant sugar beet varieties by targeting susceptibility-related genes, whereas incorporating Cry1Ab and Cry1C genes may provide defense against lepidopteron insects. Overall, CRISPR/Cas 9 technology may help enhance sugar beet's adaptability to challenging environments, ensuring sustainable, high-yield production.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a highly prevalent opportunistic infection among liver transplant recipients. When the liver donor is infected with CMV, there is a risk of transmission to the recipient, leading to CMV infection. To improve the postoperative outcome of liver transplantation, it is crucial to shift the focus of CMV detection to the donor and achieve early diagnosis, as well as implement effective preventative and therapeutic measures. However, the commonly used CMV detection methods in the past had limitations that prevented their early and accurate diagnosis in liver transplant donors. This review focuses on the latest advancements in CMV detection methods that can potentially be applied to liver transplant donors. The objective is to compare and evaluate their clinical utility, thereby providing guidance and support for rapid and accurate diagnosis of CMV infection in the clinic. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) system-based assay emerges as a promising method for detecting the virus, offering great prospects for early and expedient CMV infection diagnosis in clinical settings.

Abstract
We propose a CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) detection method that combines RPA with Cas12a cleavage for the detection of halal food adulteration, which is of global concern, particularly for Muslim consumers. We optimized the reagent concentrations for the Cas12a cleavage steps and designed and screened gRNA targeting a conserved area of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COX1) gene. This procedure successfully detected the presence of porcine components as low as 5 pg/μL in the linear range of 5-1000 pg/μL. The assay's detection limit was 500 times lower than CRISPR-based approaches that exclude a preamplification step, allowing the detection of trace porcine DNA in food samples. The assay additionally showed no cross-reaction with nontarget species. Therefore, this detection platform shows tremendous potential as a method for the quick, sensitive, and specific detection of porcine-derived components.

Abstract
The rapid and accurate identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at an early antibiotic therapy stage would be benefit to disease diagnosis and antibiotic selection. Herein, we integrated cross-priming amplification (CPA) and CRISPR/Cas 12a (designated as CPA-Cas 12a) systems to establish a sensitive and efficient lateral flow assay to detect methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This assay relies on the CPA isothermal nucleic acid amplification strategy which can amplify the DNA extracted from Staphylococcus aureus and accompanying the indiscriminately trans-cleavage process of Cas 12a/CrRNA duplex after recognizing specific sequence. Taking the advantage of reporter and high turnover Cas 12a activity, a dramatic change in response was achieved to produce a significant increase in the analytical sensitivity. The signal conversion and output were realized using a lateral flow strip to achieve field-deployable detection. Furthermore, this bioassay was accommodated with a microfluidic device to realize automatically portable detection. This proposed assay completed within 30 min with the detection limit of 5 CFU mL-1, was verified by testing bacterial suspension and 202 clinical samples. Given the high sensitivity, specificity and efficiency, this colorimetric readout assay through strip could be further promoted to the clinical diagnosis, clinical medication of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Targeted genome editing technologies are becoming the most important and widely used genetic tools in studies of phytopathology. The "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)" and its accompanying proteins (Cas) have been first identified as a natural system associated with the adaptive immunity of prokaryotes that have been successfully used in various genome-editing techniques because of its flexibility, simplicity, and high efficiency in recent years. In this review, we have provided a general idea about different CRISPR/Cas systems and their uses in phytopathology. This review focuses on the benefits of knock-down technologies for targeting important genes involved in the susceptibility and gaining resistance against viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens by targeting the negative regulators of defense pathways of hosts in crop plants via different CRISPR/Cas systems. Moreover, the possible strategies to employ CRISPR/Cas system for improving pathogen resistance in plants and studying plant-pathogen interactions have been discussed.

Abstract
The emergence of cellular resistances to oncolytic viruses is an underexplored process that could compromise the efficacy of cancer virotherapy. Here, we isolated and characterized B16 mouse melanoma cells that evolved resistance to an oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-D51). RNA-seq revealed that resistance was associated to broad changes in gene expression, which typically involved chronic upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes. Innate immunity activation was maintained in the absence of the virus or other infection signals, and conferred cross-resistance to wild-type VSV and the unrelated Sindbis virus. Furthermore, we identified differentially expressed genes with no obvious role in antiviral immunity, such as Mnda, Psmb8 and Btn2a2, suggesting novel functions for these genes. Transcriptomic changes associated to VSV resistance were similar among B16 clones and in some clones derived from the mouse colon carcinoma cell line CT26, suggesting that oncolytic virus resistance involves certain conserved mechanisms and is therefore a potentially predictable process.
