The emerging aptamer, developed through the systematic evolution of ligands by
exponential enrichment (SELEX) process, has revolutionized and facilitated the discoveries …

Gene expression occurs in two essential steps: transcription and translation. In bacteria, the
two processes are tightly coupled in time and space, and highly regulated. Tight regulation …

Background Food safety has long been one of the greatest problems in public health.
Among all the food safety problems, antibiotic residues in animal derived foods are one of …

Food safety has always been a hot issue of social concern, and biosensing has been widely
used in the field of food safety detection. Compared with traditional aptamer‐based …

Living organisms evolve complex genetic networks to interact with the environment. Due to
the rapid development of synthetic biology, various modularized genetic parts and units …

The development of synthetic riboswitches has always been a challenge. Although a
number of interesting proof-of-concept studies have been published, almost all of these …

Quinolones (QNs), used extensively as therapeutic agents and growth promoters worldwide,
have significantly residued in food and environment, causing serious threat to human health …

Synthetic riboswitches are powerful tools in synthetic biology in which sensing and
execution are consolidated in a single RNA molecule. By using SELEX to select aptamers in …

With the flexibility to fold into complex structures, RNA is well-suited to act as a cellular
sensor to recognize environmental fluctuations and respond to changes by regulating the …

Small-molecule contaminants, such as antibiotics, pesticides, and plasticizers, have
emerged as one of the substances most detrimental to human health and the environment …
