VEGFC/VEGFR3 Signaling‐Dependent Lymphatic Remodeling Modulates Cardiac Response to Pressure Overload

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Cardiac lymphangiogenesis has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target to prevent the development of heart failure. However, the efficiency of systemically delivered VEGFC (vascular endothelial growth factor C) protein in inducing ...

An ANGPTL4-ceramide-protein kinase Cζ axis mediates chronic glucocorticoid exposure-induced hepatic steatosis and hypertriglyceridemia in mice. [PDF]

, 2019
Chronic or excess glucocorticoid exposure causes lipid disorders such as hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic steatosis. Angptl4 (angiopoietin-like 4), a primary target gene of the glucocorticoid receptor in hepatocytes and adipocytes, is required for ...

Tree shrew model of early diabetic retinopathy reveals microvascular dysfunction and identifies phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 as a novel therapeutic target

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We developed an animal model of early diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the tree shrew by feeding a high‐fat and high‐sugar diet in combination with STZ. Physiological and biochemical index detection, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and transmission electron microscopy were performed to examine DR.

Reduced rAAV interference enhances rcAAV detection sensitivity

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development
Replication-competent adeno-associated virus (rcAAV) content is a crucial contaminant in the process of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) production in gene therapy products, from preclinical to clinical stages.

The Dynamics of Neurofilament Light Chain in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) facilitates early diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals. However, fluid biomarkers that provide early insights into disease activity and outcomes in a neonatal cohort and those unable to access (due to reimbursement criteria) or deferring immediate treatment are lacking ...

Nonviral Gold Nanoparticle‐Mediated Delivery of CRISPR‐Cas9 Ribonucleoprotein and Long DNA Transgenes Into Primary Blood Cells

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized the field of gene therapy, but delivery remains an outstanding issue. We propose a nonviral gold‐nanoparticle platform for co‐delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein and long 2.1 kilobase dsDNA transgene constructs. This CRISPR‐AuNP is inexpensive to produce and mediate gene editing and DNA delivery in T cells and CD34+

Comparison of Receptor‐Mediated Endocytosis and Its Application to Enhance DNA Transfection by TFAMoplex

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.

Photocaged Oxytocin and Vasopressin Probes to Decipher Neuropeptide Signalling With High Spatiotemporal Resolution

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Novel and biocompatible photoactivatable oxytocin and vasopressin probes, utilising state‐of‐the‐art photocages, remain inactive in the dark. Light exposure facilitates rapid spatiotemporal receptor activation and phospholipase C (PLC)‐mediated downstream signalling. Figure created in https://BioRender.com.

Improved Detection of Myositis‐Specific Autoantibodies Using Luciferase Immunoprecipitation Systems Assay: Comparison With Line Blot and Conventional Immunoprecipitation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Myositis‐specific autoantibodies guide the diagnosis and classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, but current immunoassays vary in accuracy, particularly for autoantibodies associated with interstitial lung disease. To compare the performance of the luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) assay with line blot and ...
