Decoding RNA regulation: Challenges and opportunities for RNA‐based therapies in Europe
Abstract RNA‐based medicinal products represent a promising frontier in personalised medicine, offering sequence‐specific disease targeting at various molecular levels, yet their clinical translation in the European Union (EU) may be hindered by regulatory uncertainty around definitions and evidence requirements; this study therefore aims to identify ...

4′‐ThioRNA was broadly tolerated across multiple positions in SARS‐CoV‐2‐targeting siRNAs, but full 4'‐thio modification of both strands caused a reduction in RNAi activity. Sense‐strand segmentation improved RNAi and antiviral activity, particularly when the nick was located at position 10 from the 5′‐end of the sense strand, thereby unlocking the ...

Bioinformatic analysis of cis-encoded antisense transcription
A key first step in understanding cellular processes is a quantitative and comprehensive measurement of gene expression profiles. The scale and complexity of the mammalian transcriptome is a significant challenge to efforts aiming to identify the ...

ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.
