RESUMO

Many organisms, including humans, have evolved dynamic social behaviors to promote survival. Public health studies show that isolation from social groups is a major risk factor for adverse health outcomes in humans, but these studies lack mechanistic understanding. Animal models can provide insight into the molecular and neural mechanisms underlying how social isolation impacts health through investigations using genetic, genomic, molecular, and neuroscience methods. In this review, we discuss Drosophila melanogaster as a robust genetic model for studying the effects of social isolation and for developing a mechanistic understanding of the perception of social isolation and how it impacts health.

RESUMO

Biomolecular interactions compose a fundamental element of all life forms and are the biological basis of many biomedical assays. However, current methods for detecting biomolecular interactions have limitations in sensitivity and specificity. Here, using nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond as quantum sensors, we demonstrate digital magnetic detection of biomolecular interactions with single magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). We first developed a single-particle magnetic imaging (SiPMI) method on 100 nm-sized MNPs with negligible magnetic background, high signal stability, and accurate quantification. The single-particle method was performed on biotin-streptavidin interactions and DNA-DNA interactions in which a single-base mismatch was specifically differentiated. Subsequently, SARS-CoV-2-related antibodies and nucleic acids were examined by a digital immunomagnetic assay derived from SiPMI. In addition, a magnetic separation process improved the detection sensitivity and dynamic range by more than 3 orders of magnitude and also the specificity. This digital magnetic platform is applicable to extensive biomolecular interaction studies and ultrasensitive biomedical assays.
