Using Single Step Atmospheric‐Pressure Plasma To Fabricate Biosensors
A research team from the National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan showed that aerosol‐assisted dielectric‐barrier‐discharge atmospheric‐pressure plasma deposition can be used for depositing different kinds of protein on different biosensor substrates in a single step.
Methylated Cytosine: A Promising Regulator of RNA Function?
It is a well‐known fact that RNA is the target of a plethora of modifications which currently amount to over a hundred. The vast majority of these modifications was observed in the two most abundant classes of RNA, rRNA and tRNA. With the recent advance in mapping technologies, modifications have been discovered also in mRNA and in less abundant non‐coding RNA species.

The required features of nanofactories, and current strategies for their design and fabrication.
First Study on Cold Atmospheric Plasma Treatment of ‘Dry’ Amino Acids
A team of German researchers conducted the first study on the direct exposure of cold atmospheric plasma on amino acids at dry conditions.
Noncanonical Features and Modifications on the 5′‐End of Bacterial sRNAs and mRNAs
Although many eukaryotic transcripts contain cap structures, it has been long thought that bacterial RNAs do not carry any special modifications on their 5′‐ends. In bacteria, primary transcripts are produced by transcription initiated with a nucleoside triphosphate and are therefore triphosphorylated on 5′‐ends.

Context-Dependent Regulation of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell membrane proteins that provide cells with the ability to sense proteins in their environments. Many RTKs are essential to development and organ growth. Derangement of RTKs—by mutation or by overexpression—is central to several developmental and adult disorders including cancer, short stature, and vascular pathologies.
