NYU Tandon researchers have developed microchips capable of detecting multiple diseases from a single cough or air sample, revolutionizing healthcare diagnostics. These microchips use field-effect transistors (FETs) to detect biological markers and offer faster results, simultaneous testing for multiple diseases, and immediate data transmission to healthcare providers. The researchers are exploring new ways to modify FET surfaces to enable parallel detection of multiple pathogens, with breakthrough technology like thermal scanning probe lithography (tSPL) showing promise in achieving this goal. The study, supported by industry partners, demonstrates the potential for creating portable diagnostic devices that could be used in various settings, from hospitals to homes.

Crosslife Technologies Inc. has been issued a patent for engineered gyri-like mutein aptamers, which are non-native variant proteins designed from the Gyrl-like family of proteins. These aptamers, known as GYRAPTs or GYRYZYMEs, can bind to various target organic molecules and function as on/off bioswitches. The patent outlines methods for creating these aptamers through rational mutagenesis or mutant library screening, highlighting their potential applications in molecular imaging, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The Gyrl-like proteins used as scaffolds for these aptamers are small-molecule binding proteins found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, offering a versatile platform for designing novel biotechnological tools.
