A target amplification-free CRISPR biosensor with digital microfluidic processing for microRNA profiling in AI-enhanced pediatric sepsis diagnosis
MicroRNA signatures provide an informative readout of host-response dysregulation in pediatric sepsis, but their clinical translation remains limited by low target abundance and multiplexing requirements. Here, a target amplification-free CRISPR biosensing platform was established. The sensing mechanism couples Cas13a target recognition to promoter release, template reconstruction, and transcription-driven Cas13a reactivation, enabling fluorescence amplification through internal molecular cycling without amplify…
A machine learning model trained on microRNA profiles from an automated CRISPR microfluidic platform separated sepsis from non-sepsis in 252 clinical samples with a test AUC of 0.973.
The disease-progression finding rests on a single representative longitudinal case and is described as preliminary. The authors frame the platform only as having potential for in-vitro diagnosis, not as validated clinical practice.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1844 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
