Advanced Nanoparticle Therapeutics for Targeting Neutrophils in Inflammatory Diseases

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in nanoparticle‐based strategies to modulate neutrophil activity in inflammatory diseases. By targeting inflammatory neutrophils, NET formation, and neutrophil apoptosis or recruitment, these approaches aim to improve therapeutic precision.

Micro-RNA family that modulates fibrosis and uses thereof [PDF]

, 2017
The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA family, designated miR-29a-c, that is a key regulator of fibrosis in cardiac tissue. The inventors show that members of the miR-29 family are down-regulated in the heart tissue in response

An HK2 Antisense Oligonucleotide Induces Synthetic Lethality in HK1-HK2+ Multiple Myeloma.

Cancer Research, 2019
Although the majority of adult tissues express only hexokinase 1 (HK1) for glycolysis, most cancers express hexokinase 2 (HK2) and many coexpress HK1 and HK2. In contrast to HK1+HK2+ cancers, HK1-HK2+ cancer subsets are sensitive to cytostasis induced by

Selective Lipolysis by Photoactivation of Chaperone‐Mediated Autophagy Using Adipocyte Membrane‐Coated Nanoparticle in Hydrogel

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Adipocyte membrane‐coated nanoparticles loaded with rosiglitazone in hydrogel offer an alternative approach to conventional obesity treatments. This system selectively targets adipocytes, inducing lipolysis by activating chaperone‐mediated autophagy through mild photothermal stimulation.

Therapy with 2′-O-Me Phosphorothioate Antisense Oligonucleotides Causes Reversible Proteinuria by Inhibiting Renal Protein Reabsorption

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2019
Antisense oligonucleotide therapy has been reported to be associated with renal injury. Here, the mechanism of reversible proteinuria was investigated by combining clinical, pre-clinical, and in vitro data.

Gene-specific nonsense-mediated mRNA decay targeting for cystic fibrosis therapy

Nature Communications, 2022
The W1282X nonsense mutation in the CFTR gene causes cystic fibrosis by reducing its mRNA and functional protein levels. Here the authors developed antisense-oligonucleotide cocktails that restore CFTR protein function by gene-specific stabilization of ...

Oligonucleotide sequences forming short self-complimentary hairpins can expedite the down-regulation of Coprinopsis cinerea genes [PDF]

, 2008
Gene silencing in fungi is often induced by dsRNA hairpin forming constructs the preparation of which can require multiple cloning steps. To simplify gene silencing in the filamentous fungi we have evaluated a high throughput cloning method for target ...

Nanomaterial‐Based Optical Biosensors for SARS‐CoV‐2 Detection: A Retrospective of the Pandemic

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This review discusses nanomaterial‐based optical biosensors developed for or adapted to the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). It concludes by providing a perspective on how lessons learned during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic may be applied for future research on nanomaterial‐based ...

Antisense PNA accumulates in Escherichia coli and mediates a long post-antibiotic effect [PDF]

, 2007
Antisense agents that target growth-essential genes display surprisingly potent bactericidal properties. In particular, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers linked to cationic carrier peptides are effective in time kill ...

Antisense oligonucleotide therapy for spinocerebellar ataxia type 2

Nature, 2017
There are no disease-modifying treatments for adult human neurodegenerative diseases. Here we test RNA-targeted therapies in two mouse models of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2), an autosomal dominant polyglutamine disease.
