Focusing on Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata) innate immune system. Evolutionary implications [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009
Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data provide compelling evidence that ascidians are of critical importance for studying chordate immune system evolution. The Ciona intestinalis draft genome sequence allows searches for phylogenetic relationships,

Dynein‐Dependent Endo‐Lysosomal Degradation Drives Lewy Body Disorders Accompanied by Aβ Pathology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of Aβ plaques on α‐synuclein (αSyn) pathologies in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Co‐culturing primary neurons with AD mouse brain slices reveals impaired dynein‐dependent organelle trafficking, affecting αSyn degradation. Activating Rab7 restores this process, reducing αSyn inclusions.

Systematic Targeting of GD2‐Positive Neuroblastoma Tumors With a Photooncolytic Phage Nanovector Platform

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A tumor‐penetrating photooncolytic phage is developed for selectively targeting and delivering photosensitizers to GD2‐positive Neuroblastoma cells. Upon light activation, it precisely induces oncolysis of GD2‐positive cells with no effect on GD2‐negative ones.

Enhanced Activities of OCT4 and SOX2 Promote Epigenetic Reprogramming by Shortening G1 Phase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusing the VP16 domain to OCT4 and SOX2 (OvSvK) enhances iPSC generation by activating downstream targets, including those regulating the cell cycle. This accelerates reprogramming by shortening the G1 phase and reducing H3K27me3 levels. Modulating Ccnd1, Cdkn2a, and Ccne1 improves efficiency, linking cell cycle to epigenetic remodeling.

Fish Stem Cell Cultures

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2011
Stem cells have the potential for self-renewal and differentiation. First stem cell cultures were derived 30 years ago from early developing mouse embryos. These are pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells.

The Human Oral Microbiome Database: a web accessible resource for investigating oral microbe taxonomic and genomic information [PDF]

, 2010
The human oral microbiome is the most studied human microflora, but 53% of the species have not yet been validly named and 35% remain uncultivated. The uncultivated taxa are known primarily from 16S rRNA sequence information.

POLE Deficiency Exacerbates Diesel Engine Exhaust‐Induced Genomic Instability and Malignant Transformation of Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes a diesel engine exhaust (DEE)‐induced malignant transformation model in bronchial epithelial cells. Whole genome sequencing（WGS） and RNA‐seq reveal DEE‐induced mutational signatures and gene expression profiles. Mechanistically, DEEaffect polymerase epsilon (POLE) and mismatch repair, driving genomic instability and promoting ...

Optogenetic‐Controlled iPSC‐Based Vaccines for Prophylactic and Therapeutic Tumor Suppression in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops an a red/far‐red light‐controlled iPSC‐based vaccines (RIVA) based on the chimeric photosensory protein FnBphP and its interaction partner LDB3 for cancer immunotherapy. The RIVA preserves the multiple intrinsic tumor antigens of iPSCs and enables optogenetic control of the expression of the immune adjuvant type I interferon β under
