An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

High MYC mRNA expression is more clinically relevant than MYC DNA amplification in triple-negative breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
DNA abnormalities are used in inclusion criteria of clinical trials for treatments with specific targeted molecules. MYC is one of the most powerful oncogenes and is known to be associated with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

High cell-surface density of HER2 deforms cell membranes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
HER2 is frequently overexpressed in breast cancer in association with increased metastatic potential. Here, the authors show that HER2 overexpression causes deformation of cell membranes in a signalling-independent manner that contributes to the disease ...

Mechanisms of Zika virus infection and neuropathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A spotlight has been focused on the mosquito-borne Zika virus (ZIKV) because of its epidemic outbreak in Brazil and Latin America, as well as the severe neurological manifestations of microcephaly and Guillain–Barré syndrome associated with infection. In

Use of High Specific Activity StarFire™ Oligonucleotide Probes to Visualize Low-Abundance Pre-mRNA Splicing Intermediates in S. pombe

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2000
An oligonucleotide labeling system was developed that can produce radiolabeled hybridization probes with tenfold or more higher specific activity than is obtained by traditional 5¢-end-labeling with polynucleotide kinase.

AsCas12a ultra nuclease facilitates the rapid generation of therapeutic cell medicines

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The utility of AsCas12a can be limited to poor editing efficiency. Here the authors identify a variant, “AsCas12a Ultra”, that has high on-target specificity demonstrated through editing of clinically relevant T cell genes.

Reconstitution of recombination-associated DNA synthesis with human proteins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The repair of DNA breaks by homologous recombination is a high-fidelity process, necessary for the maintenance of genome integrity. Thus, DNA synthesis associated with recombinational repair must be largely error-free.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

MICA immune complex formed with alpha 3 domain-specific antibody activates human NK cells in a Fc-dependent manner

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
Background One of the mechanisms by which tumors evade immune surveillance is through shedding of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related protein A and B (MICA/B) from their cell surface.
