High Yield Branched Puromycin Linker Design Enables Efficient cDNA Display and Chemical Modification of Peptides

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
A novel puromycin linker for cDNA display was synthesized via SPAAC reaction. Its functionality was confirmed by recovering intact DNA after selection against EpCAM. The system also enabled the verification of bicyclic peptides during display, demonstrating its utility for constructing and screening structurally complex peptide libraries.

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...

iPS cell generation-associated point mutations include many C > T substitutions via different cytosine modification mechanisms

Nature Communications
Genomic aberrations are a critical impediment for the safe medical use of iPSCs and their origin and developmental mechanisms remain unknown. Here we find through WGS analysis of human and mouse iPSC lines that genomic mutations are de novo events and ...

AICDA drives epigenetic heterogeneity and accelerates germinal center-derived lymphomagenesis

Nature Communications, 2018
In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) increased epigenetic heterogeneity in the form of cytosine methylation is known to link to a poor clinical outcome.

Reprogramming tumor immune microenvironment by ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatforms for enhanced cancer immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatforms reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment by targeting tumor cells, immune cells, and non‐immune stromal cells to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer immunotherapy represents a significant advancement in cancer treatment by enhancing the specific recognition and elimination of cancer cells.

Mutagenic and cytotoxic properties of oxidation products of 5-methylcytosine revealed by next-generation sequencing.

PLoS ONE, 2013
5-methylcytosine (5-mC) can be sequentially oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5-foC), and finally to 5-carboxylcytosine (5-caC), which is thought to function in active DNA cytosine demethylation in mammals. Although the roles

Click Capture SELEX for the Identification of Click‐Modified Aptamers Targeting Small Molecules in Solution

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Using kanamycin A as a model target, we developed click‐capture SELEX to identify nucleobase‐modified aptamers capable of binding small molecules in solution. This approach enables flexible incorporation of nucleobase modifications via CuAAC, allowing the chemical properties of the aptamer to be tailored to the target molecule.

Combinatorial expression of glial transcription factors induces Schwann cell‐specific gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Schwann cells provide peripheral nerve trophic support, myelinate axons, and assist in repair. However, Schwann cell repair capacity is limited by chronic injury, disease, and aging. Schwann cell reprogramming is a cellular conversion strategy that could provide a renewable cell supply to repair injured nerves.

Bridging maternal effects and epitranscriptomics: A novel perspective in developmental biology

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal effects, encompassing both genetic (maternally expressed gene products) and non‐genetic (maternal state) influences, are powerful determinants of offspring phenotype, yet their RNA‐level mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. In parallel, epitranscriptomics, an emerging field centered on chemical modifications to RNA, has revealed ...

Beyond “you are what you eat”: Unlocking gut microbiota‐mediated biotransformation of dietary phytochemicals

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...
