Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for amplifying at least one target RNA in a fixed and, optionally, expanded biological sample. In an embodiment of the invention, the method comprises incubating the fixed biological sample with a pair of polynucleotides complementary to non-overlapping and proximal sequences of a target RNA, wherein the polynucleotide pair hybridizes to the target RNA; ligating the polynucleotide pair using a ligase; and amplifying the ligation product. The invention further provides methods for detecting and optionally quantifying and/or sequencing the amplification product. As the method comprises hybridizing polynucleotide pairs to a target RNA in a fixed biological sample, the target RNA can be hybridized in situ.

Abstract: The present invention enables three-dimensional nanofabrication by isotropic shrinking of patterned hydrogels. A hydrogel is first expanded, the rate of expansion being controlled by the concentration of the crosslinker. The hydrogel is then infused with a reactive group and patterned in three dimensions using a photon beam through a limited-diffraction microscope. Functional particles or materials are then deposited on the pattern. The hydrogel is then shrunk and cleaved from the pattern.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell includes a negative electrode having a first liquid phase having a first active metal, a positive electrode having a second liquid phase having a second active metal, and a liquid electrolyte having a salt of the first active metal and a salt of the second active metal. The electrochemical cell also includes a bipolar faradaic membrane, disposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode, having a first surface facing the negative electrode and a second surface facing the positive electrode. The bipolar faradaic membrane is configured to allow cations of the first active metal to pass through and to impede cations of the second active metal from transferring from the positive electrode to the negative electrode and is at least partially formed from a material having an electronic conductivity sufficient to drive faradaic reactions at the second surface with the cations of the positive electrode.

Abstract: RNA editing tools for use in systems designed to measure RNA in vivo and manipulate specific cell types are disclosed herein. An RNA sensor system comprising a) a single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) sensor comprising a stop codon and a payload; optionally wherein the ssRNA sensor further comprises a normalizing gene; and b) an adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) deaminase; wherein the sensor is capable of binding to a ssRNA target to form a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) duplex that becomes a substrate for the ADAR deaminase; wherein the substrate comprises a mispairing within the stop codon; and wherein the mispairing is editable by the ADAR deaminase, which editing can effectively remove the stop codon so as to enable translation and expression of the payload. A method of quantifying ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels using the RNA sensor system is also disclosed.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for generating single-cell molecular analysis comprising a) delivering one or more proximity dependent probes to a cell population, wherein each proximity dependent probe comprises a target binding region configured to bind a target RNA and a primer binding site region; b) linking bound proximity dependent probes; c) isolating single cells from the cell population in separate individual discrete volumes, the individual discrete volumes further comprising a primer pair and amplification reagents, wherein the primer pair binds to the primer binding sites of the ligation dependent probes, and wherein at least one primer comprises a barcode sequence that uniquely identifies the individual discrete volume; d) amplifying the ligated probes using the primer pair, wherein the barcode is incorporated into each resulting amplicon; and e) quantifying target RNAs in each individual cell based at least in part on sequencing the resulting amplicons.
