Quantum-enhanced nanodiamond rapid test advances early SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection in clinical diagnostics

Spin-enhanced lateral flow tests use nanodiamonds for the sensitive, robust detection of disease biomarkers. Here, authors report a clinical evaluation of a test for SARS-CoV-2 antigen, finding 95.1% sensitivity (Ct ≤ 30) and 100% specificity, with detection 2.0 days earlier than conventional tests.

The Panoptes system uses decoy cyclic nucleotides to defend against phage

The Panoptes antiphage system defends bacteria by detecting phage-encoded counter-defences that sequester cyclic nucleotide signals, triggering membrane disruption and highlighting a broader strategy of sensing immune evasion through second-messenger surveillance.

Circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters are much more likely to produce viable metastasis than single CTCs. Here the authors find that the transmembrane protein Plexin-B2 (PLXNB2) mediates homotypic and heterotypic CTC cluster formation, driving lung metastasis in breast cancer mouse models.

Current first-line treatments of pediatric UC maintain a 6-month remission in only half of the patients. Here, applying multi-omics on intestinal biopsies from treatment-naïve children, the authors show that relapse-prediction using separate omics data is outperformed by a robust machine learning approach combining microbiomes and epigenomes.

Rare variant contribution to the heritability of coronary artery disease

Whole genome sequences enable discovery of rare variants which may help to explain the heritability of common diseases. Here the authors find that ultra-rare variants explain ~50% of coronary artery disease (CAD) heritability and highlight several functional processes including cell type-specific regulatory mechanisms as key drivers of CAD genetic risk.

Comparative genomics of the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis reveals genes involved in spillover from birds to humans

The sexually transmitted human parasite Trichomonas vaginalis belongs to a clade of host-switching trichomonads that parasitize mammals, birds, livestock, and pets. Here the authors describe a chromosome-scale genome for T. vaginalis and assemblies of other bird and mammal-infecting species, identifying gene functions implicated in the spillover of trichomonads from birds to humans.
