DNAzyme-seq: a single-cell metal ion and transcriptome profiling platform
Background Metal ions such as zinc, copper, and calcium play indispensable roles in nearly every facet of cellular physiology, from enzymatic catalysis to signal trans­duction. However, conventional single-cell transcriptomics has largely over­looked the contribution of metal cofactors to gene expression, metabolism, and disease progression....

DNA-based sensors for live-cell mapping of metabolite- and metal ion-protein interactions
Background Understanding how metabolites and metal ions interact with proteins inside living cells is essential for decoding cellular signaling, metabolic regulation, and disease mechanisms. These small molecules function as cofactors, second messengers, and allosteric regulators, orchestrating critical pathways that govern cell behavior. However,...
