Summary: With the increase of zoonotic diseases, there is a demand for improved screening and diagnostic methods. Electrochemical biosensors offer a promising solution as they can be used for on-site testing, reducing the reliance on centralized labs and providing accurate results. Portable potentiostats and microfluidics chambers are also discussed as alternatives to centralized laboratory settings.

Summary: Viruses are major pathogens in food poisoning, and the development of foodborne virus detection technologies for the entire food distribution chain is crucial for food safety. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the gold standard method for monitoring food contamination by viruses, but it is time-consuming and vulnerable to inhibitors in food samples. Optical and electrical readout biosensors based on nucleic acid isothermal amplification technology and nanomaterials have emerged as alternatives, offering portability and on-site operation. However, the complexity of food components and lack of stability studies on residual food components limit the practical application of biosensors as a universal detection method.

Summary: Cisplatin is an anticancer drug used for the treatment of various solid organ cancers. However, chemoresistance due to the presence of anti-apoptotic regulators is a major challenge. It has been found that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) can modulate the expression of target proteins and affect the development of chemotherapy drug resistance.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed 19 articles and found that viruses such as measles virus, influenza virus, dengue fever virus, human immunodeficiency virus, human herpesviruses, rotavirus, and adenovirus are associated with acute appendicitis. However, the specific mechanisms behind the relationship between acute appendicitis and viral infections are still not fully understood, and further investigations are needed to explore the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of viral complications in appendicitis.

Summary: The family Orchidaceae is of great importance in the global trade due to its high floricultural value, but viral diseases have had a significant negative impact on the industry. Early diagnosis and proper eradication methods, such as PCR-based techniques and in vitro approaches, can effectively control the spread of orchid viruses. Comprehensive research on producing virus-free orchids is crucial for the future.
