An electrolyte-gated transistor for the monitoring of a CRISPR/Cas activity by Pierre Guermonprez, Le Tu Anh, Louis Renaud, Pierre Nioche, Eric Krejci, Aurélie Alleaume-Butaux, Nicolas Battaglini, Vu Thi Thu, Sébastien Sanaur, Benoît Piro

“…Detection of Ribonucleic acids (RNA) is a critical step in the identification of viral or bacterial infections in humans and animals. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard, but clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats linked to a Cas endoribonuclease particle (CRISPR/Cas) have recently revolutionized the recognition step of two RNAs, i.e. the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA) and the target, providing a much better selectivity compared to the naked hybridization on which RT-PCR is based. …”

A daily rhythm of cell proliferation in a songbird brain by Vladimira Hodova, Valentina Maresova, Rebecca Radic, Lubica Kubikova

“…Neurogenesis in laboratory rodents peaks at night, and the rodents are nocturnal, contrary to humans that are active during the day. Here, we studied whether proliferation and apoptosis exhibit a daily rhythm in the brain of the diurnal songbird zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) and whether the cell proliferation peaks during the dark phase of the day, as in rodents. …”
