Non-invasive single cell aptasensing in live cells and animals.
Article in Chemical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We report a genetically encoded aptamer biosensor platform for non-invasive measurement of drug distribution in cells and animals. We combined the high specificity of aptamer molecular recognition with the easy-to-detect properties of fluorescent proteins. We generated six encoded aptasensors, showcasing the platform versatility. The biosensors display high sensitivity and specificity for detecting their specific drug target over related analogs. We show dose dependent response of biosensor performance reaching saturating drug uptake levels in individual live cells. We designed our platform for integration into animal genomes; thus, we incorporated aptamer biosensors into zebrafish, an important model vertebrate. The biosensors enabled non-invasive drug biodistribution imaging in whole animals across different timepoints. To our knowledge, this is the first example of an aptamer biosensor-expressing transgenic vertebrate that is carried through generations. As such, our encoded platform addresses the need for non-invasive whole animal biosensing ideal for pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analyses that can be expanded to other organisms and to detect diverse molecules of interest.
