Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.The graphical abstract shows how molecular biology research has shifted from using traditional animal models toward using methods that are more relevant to humans. It points out the main problems, differences between species, difficulty in reproducing results, moral issues, and lack of infrastructure that make translational accuracy harder to achieve ...

Inappropriateness of RNAlater to preserve Caenorhabditis elegans for RNA extraction
MethodsX, 2019 Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-established laboratory animal model and has been widely used in biological research. However, it is still a challenge to obtain a good amount of quality RNA from a limited number of C. elegans for gene expression studies.

The type II poly(A)-binding protein PABP-2 is a downstream target of the "let-7" microRNA in the heterochronic pathway of "Caenorhabditis elegans" : mechanisms of microRNA-mediated gene silencing in "Caenorhabditis elegans" [PDF]
, 2012 microRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of small, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in animals, plants and protozoa. miRNAs are genomically encoded and transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Primary transcripts are sequentially

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

Imaging the Pharynx to Measure the Uptake of Doxorubicin in Caenorhabditis elegans
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Caenorhabditis elegans offers an array of advantages to investigate the roles of uptake transporters. Herein, an epifluorescent microscopy approach was developed to monitor the uptake of the autofluorescent anticancer drug, doxorubicin, into the pharynx ...

Biochemical analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans surface mutants
, 1997 A collection of Caenorhabditis elegans mutants that show ectopic surface lectin binding (Srf mutants) was analyzed to determine the biochemical basis for this phenotype. This analysis involved selective removal or labeling of surface components, specific
