2. 1. Nucleic acid analysis tools : Novel technologies and biomedical applications

   Author : Iván Hernández-Neuta; Mats Nilsson; Frank Bier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nucleic acid analysis; padlock probes; selector probes; rolling circle amplification; microfluidics; single-molecule detection; digital quantification; fluorescence microscopy; mobile phone microscopy; molecular diagnostics; virology; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Nucleic acids are fundamental molecules of living organisms functioning essentially as the molecular information carriers of life. From how an organism is built to how it responds to external conditions, all of it, can be found in the form of nucleic acid sequences inside every single cell of every life form on earth. READ MORE

4. 2. Advancing isothermal nucleic acid amplification tests : Towards democratization of diagnostics

   Author : Felix Neumann; Mats Nilsson; Paul Yager; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; molecular diagnostics; infectious diseases; point-of-care; digital quantification; fluorescence detection; rolling circle amplification; padlock probes; microfluidic enrichment; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Modern healthcare is the result of scientific advancement across disciplines and has enabled us to understand the rationale behind many diseases and how to treat or cure them; but still a myriad of unanswered questions remains. Especially infectious diseases play an important role in healthcare as they pose a constant threat for global health and well-being. READ MORE

5. 3. Padlock Probe-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests : Point-of-care Diagnostics of Infectious Diseases

   Author : Sibel Ciftci; Mats Nilsson; Jonas Klingström; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nucleic Acid Amplification; Isothermal Amplification Methods; Padlock Probes; Rolling Circle Amplification; Molecular Diagnostics; Infectious Disease Diagnostics; Virus; Point-of-Care; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Recent advancements in molecular biology and biotechnology have pushed the field of molecular diagnostics much further to benefit the society towards smart access for rapid and simplified health care. In this context, point-of-care (PoC) technologies that bring the inventions in diagnostics closer to bedside settings draw attention. READ MORE

6. 4. Single Molecule Detection : Microfluidic Automation and Digital Quantification

   Author : Malte Kühnemund; Mats Nilsson; Ulf Landegren; Sten Linnarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; single molecule; digital; rolling circle amplification; magnetic particle; padlock probe; microfluidics; resistive pulse sensing; lab on chip; mobile phone microscopy; enrichment; sequencing;

   Abstract : Much of recent progress in medical research and diagnostics has been enabled through the advances in molecular analysis technologies, which now permit the detection and analysis of single molecules with high sensitivity and specificity. Assay sensitivity is fundamentally limited by the efficiency of the detection method used for read-out. READ MORE

7. 5. Nucleic acid-based detection and characterization of hepatitis C virus

   Author : Zhibing Yun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : HCV; PCR; genotype; HVRI; heterogeneity; IFN-a; immunodeficiency;

   Abstract : Nucleic acid-based methods were developed to detect and characterize the HCV genome in immunocompetent and immunodeficient patents of whom some were IFN-a treated. HCV RNA was found in most sera (95%), livers (97%) and PBMC (100%) of patients with confirmed chronic hepatitis, but also in sera (21%) of patients with indeterminate confirmatory antibody test, especially those with c22 antigen reactivity.
