CRISPR-Equipped Bacteria Detect Tumors
.
URL:
medgadget.com/2023/09/crispr-e

<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="695" height="529" src="medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa" alt="" class="wp-image-1551578" srcset="medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 695w, medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 300w" sizes="(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px" /></figure></div>

<p>Researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a bacterial sentinel system that can alert clinicians to the presence of tumors. The technology takes advantage of the specificity of the CRISPR system and the tendency of bacteria to uptake fragments of DNA from their environment. Termed &#8220;Cellular Assay for Targeted CRISPR-discriminated Horizontal gene transfer&#8221; (CATCH), the system has been created to detect gastrointestinal tumors in its first iteration. This involves administering the CRISPR-enabled bacteria to the gut. The bacteria have been engineered to respond to DNA fragments that encode a mutated protein that is shed by certain tumors in the gut into the surrounding environment. Once they uptake this DNA, the bacteria express a gene that confers resistance to a specific antibiotic, along with a gene that makes them glow green. These factors allow the researchers to identify the presence of tumor DNA once they harvest the bacteria from stool samples. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Researchers have grown adept at identifying and manipulating DNA using standard lab equipment. However, it is significantly more challenging to detect DNA inside the human body, although the clinical rewards could be huge – tumors can release DNA fragments into their surroundings, which float about. If we could identify these fragments, then we can identify the presence of a tumor.</p>

<p>Bacteria are skilled at uptaking DNA fragments that have been released by other bacteria into their surroundings. Bacteria uptake these fragments to incorporate this new genetic material into their own genome in the hopes that the new proteins they can then produce may confer an advantage in terms of growth and survival. However, these researchers decided to investigate if this mechanism could be exploited to create living bacterial biosensors.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="705" height="333" src="medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa" alt="" class="wp-image-1551579" srcset="medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 705w, medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 300w" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" /></figure></div>

<p>“As we started on this project four years ago, we weren&#8217;t even sure if using bacteria as a sensor for mammalian DNA was even possible,&#8221; said Jeff Hasty, a researcher involved in the study. &#8220;The detection of gastrointestinal cancers and precancerous lesions is an attractive clinical opportunity to apply this invention.&#8221;</p>

<p>The researchers used a bacterium called <em>Acinetobacter baylyi</em>, which is adept at grabbing DNA from its environment. They engineered the bacterium so that it hosts CRISPR that can rapidly recognize DNA that encodes a mutated form of a gene called KRAS. DNA fragments containing this mutated gene are released by several forms of cancer. Once they encounter the DNA, the bacteria will express a fluorescent protein and a gene that confers antibiotic resistance. Once the researchers harvest the bacteria from stool samples, they can culture them on agar plates containing the antibiotic. Only bacteria that have expressed the antibiotic resistance gene will survive and grow on the plate, revealing the presence of a tumor in the gut. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>See a video about the technology below.</p>

Device for Rapid COVID-19 Breath Testing
.
URL:
medgadget.com/2023/09/device-f

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="770" height="513" src="medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa" alt="" class="wp-image-1551571" srcset="medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 770w, medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 300w, medgadget.com/wp-content/uploa 768w" sizes="(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px" /></figure>

<p>Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have developed a COVID-19 breathalyzer test. The technology requires someone to breathe into it just once or twice, and it can then provide an indication if the person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 in as little as one minute. The device could be very useful fo screening large numbers of people prior to access to an indoor event, for instance, or in community clinics to quickly determine if people are infected. Moreover, the technology could be adapted to detect other viruses, which may be useful for future outbreaks. The system involves blowing into a straw, which directs the breath onto llama-derived nanobodies that specifically bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein. The nanobodies are bound to an ultrasensitive micro-immunoelectrode biosensor, which can provide a rapid readout if the virus is present.  </p>

<p>Thankfully, the COVID-19 pandemic has been declared over. However, if we are to learn the lessons of the pandemic, we need to develop strategies that will assist us with the next one. This could be caused by COVID-19, perhaps through the emergence of a highly aggressive new SARS-CoV-2 variant, or through the emergence of a completely new pathogen which is currently unknown. Rapid and convenient testing will be a key ally, allowing large scale health screens, and this latest technology showcases these features. </p>

<p>“With this test, there are no nasal swabs and no waiting 15 minutes for results, as with home tests,” said Rajan Chakrabarty, a researcher involved in the study. “A person simply blows into a tube in the device, and an electrochemical biosensor detects whether the virus is there. Results are available in about a minute.”</p>

<p>Interestingly, the technology can be modified relatively rapidly to detect other viruses, such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In fact, the researchers may be able to make a multiplex device that can test for several viruses simultaneously, and report that they should be able to create a biosensor that is specific for completely new viruses, with just a two week lag time.</p>

<p>“It’s a bit like a breathalyzer test that an impaired driver might be given,” said John Cirrito, one of the lead developers of the new technology. “And, for example, if people are in line to enter a hospital, a sports arena or the White House Situation Room, 15-minute nasal swab tests aren’t practical, and PCR tests take even longer. Plus, home tests are about 60% to 70% accurate, and they produce a lot of false negatives. This device will have diagnostic accuracy.”</p>

If you, like me, are confused when or announce a new generative partnership with a hospital

(because you're not sure if it's different than the last one they announced)
