Testicular mRNA‐LNP Delivery: A Novel Therapy for Genetic Spermatogenic Disorders
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.In the current study, we developed a novel therapy for genetic spermatogenic disorders. It was revealed that in vivo delivery of mRNA LNP3 could restore spermatogenesis in Msh5D486Y/D486Y and Maps KO mouse models with meiotic arrest. Notably, the offspring without genomic integration was born using ICSI derived from the rescue of Msh5D486Y/D486Y mouse ...

Defined mutations in the 5' nontranslated sequence of Sindbis virus RNA [PDF]
, 1990 We have constructed 24 deletion mutants which contain deletions of from 1 to 15 nucleotides in the 5' nontranslated region of Sindbis virus RNA and tested the effect of these mutations on virus replication.

Sequence analysis reveals a conserved extension in the capping enzyme of the alphavirus supergroup, and a homologous domain in nodaviruses [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Members of the alphavirus supergroup include human pathogens such as chikungunya virus, hepatitis E virus and rubella virus. They encode a capping enzyme with methyltransferase-guanylyltransferase (MTase-GTase) activity, which is an ...

“More” Artificial mRNAs: Beyond the Art of Nature
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.Inspired by nature yet transcending it, synthetic mRNA is being redesigned beyond the canonical architecture. This review highlights emerging forms—circular, branched, and self‐amplifying mRNAs—that expand stability, persistence, and functional control, illustrating how artificial mRNA is evolving into a new medium for programmable biological ...

Noncapped Genomic RNA Are Critical for Alphaviral Infection and Pathogenicity
Proceedings, 2020 Alphaviruses are positive-sense RNA arthropod-borne viruses that represent a significant threat to public health. During alphaviral replication, significant quantities of viral genomic RNAs that lack a canonical 5’ cap structure are produced and packaged

Identification of a non-canonical G3BP-binding sequence in a Mayaro virus nsP3 hypervariable domain
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Ras-GTPase-activating SH3 domain-binding-proteins 1 (G3BP1) and 2 (G3BP2) are multifunctional RNA-binding proteins involved in stress granule nucleation, previously identified as essential cofactors of Old World alphaviruses.

The Poisson CUSUM Chart for Monitoring Small Counts: Addressing the Estimation Uncertainty
Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT This study addresses the impact of estimating in‐control parameters on the performance of the Poisson cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart in detecting an increase in the mean when the counts are small. To reduce false signals induced by estimation uncertainty, recommendations prescribe impractically large sample sizes or propose methods that widen ...
