Obesity been associated increased incidence, progression, poorer outcomes multiple types in part due to pro-inflammatory state that arises. Surprisingly, obesity has also recently demonstrated preclinical models clinical be improved response immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). These observations laid foundation for what termed “obesity paradox”. The mechanisms underlying these augmented immunotherapy responses are still unclear given pleiotropic exerts cells tissues.

CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR/Dx) have revolutionized the field of molecular diagnostics. It enables home self-test, field-deployable, and point-of-care testing (POCT). Despite great potential CRISPR/Dx in diagnoses biologically complex diseases, preamplification template often is required for sensitive detection low-abundance nucleic acids. Various amplification-free systems were recently developed to enhance signal at sufficient sensitivity. Broadly, these are classified into five groups depending on enhancement strategies employed: CRISPR/Cas12a and/or CRISPR/Cas13a integrated with: (1) other catalytic enzymes (Cas14a, Csm6, Argonaute, duplex-specific nuclease, nanozyme, or T7 exonuclease), (2) rational-designed oligonucleotides (multivalent aptamer, tetrahedral DNA framework, RNA G-quadruplexes, roller machine, switchable-caged guide RNA, hybrid locked RNA/DNA probe, hybridized cascade "U" rich stem-loop RNA), (3) nanomaterials (nanophotonic structure, gold nanoparticle, micromotor, microbeads), (4) electrochemical piezoelectric plate biosensors (SERS nanoprobes, graphene field-effect transistor, redox primer exchange reaction), (5) cutting-edge technology platforms (digital bioanalysis, droplet microfluidic, smartphone camera, single nanoparticle counting). Herein, we critically discuss advances, pitfalls future perspectives acids detection.
