  • Imaging of gene expression in live cells or tissues has largely relied on light-based strategies detecting fluorescence or luminescence, but poor transmission of light through tissues limits the depth that can be imaged. A new study reports a synthetic biology approach to encode an ultrasound-based gene expression reporter that is applicable to mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo.

    • Inhibition of Influenza A virus propagation by benzoselenoxanthenes stabilizing TMPRSS2 Gene G-quadruplex and hence down-regulating TMPRSS2 expression Li-Wen Shen, Man-Qing Qian, Kai Yu, Suresh Narva, Fei Yu, Yan-Ling Wu & Wen Zhang Scientific Reports volume 10, Article number: 7635 (2020) Abstract Proteolytic cleavage of influenza A virus (IAV) hemagglutinin by host proteases is crucial for virus infectivity and spread. The transmembrane serine protease TMPRSS2 was previously identified as the essential protease that can cleave hemagglutinin of many subtypes of influenza virus and spike protein of coronavirus. Herein, we found that a guanine rich tract, capable of forming intramolecular G-quadruplex in the presence of potassium ions, in the promoter region of human TMPRSS2 gene was quite important for gene transcriptional activity, hence affecting its function.

  • 《On a fire extinguisher using sound winds》

    • Sound fire extinguisher is developed based on principle of quenching fire by lowering its temperature with contacting vibration energy from low frequency sound under 100 Hz to fire and then blocking inflow of oxygen with a sound wind. The one researched by American students are at very basic level to be commercialized. It concentrates a sound beam through special sound winds and increases sound energy performance 10 times more to put out the fire. This is because it utilizes basic theory of making sound and as sound has a tendency of dispersing, big sound and energy have to be created to extinguish fire. That is, even if 100 W is produced, it just makes a big noise but only 1/10 of it can be used for putting out fire. This special sound winds has convex shape which concentrates all the sound into one place to increase effectiveness by more than 10 times. Even 1~2 m away, initial control can be done. As a result, size of battery as well as amplifier can be made small to have minimized size and weight, making it more practical.
