Alternative Polyadenylation Drives Runaway Pro‐Inflammatory Macrophages in Periodontitis by Enabling Escape From miRNA Repression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
APA‐Guided Therapeutic miRNA Selection for Periodontitis. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by a dysregulated host immune response, in which macrophage‐mediated inflammation shifts from protective to pathological. While monocyte‐derived macrophages (MDMs) are known to adopt a destructive, M1‐like pro‐inflammatory phenotype,

Post‐transcriptional regulatory networks: The dynamic interplay of RNA‐binding proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Post‐transcriptional gene expression regulation is controlled by RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs), which influence many processes including splicing, localization, translation, and decay. Rather than acting alone, RBPs bind RNAs combinatorially, forming complex, context‐dependent regulatory networks.

The nuclease EXO1 promotes genomic instability by degrading nascent DNA in BRCA-proficient cells

Nature Communications
DNA repair genes are generally considered tumor suppressors, as their inactivation is observed in tumors and is associated with carcinogenesis. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are observed in breast, ovarian, and other cancers.

Synthetic Strategies for Linear and Circular RNA

SynBio
Synthetic RNA has become an essential modality in therapeutic development. Linear mRNA is already clinically validated, which demonstrated that in vitro-transcribed (IVT) RNA can achieve robust protein expression in humans and can be manufactured at a ...

Characterisation of Sex Pheromone and Genetic Strain in Rachiplusia nu (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Populations Across Brazil

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rachiplusia nu, known as the sunflower looper (SFL) and belonging to the Plusiinae subfamily, is a major defoliator of soybeans, sunflowers and other horticultural crops across southern South America. This species has recently expanded to central and northern regions of Brazil, becoming a key soybean pest.

First direct evidence of spawning by Japanese sardine Sardinops melanosticta (Temminck and Schlegel) in the eastern Pacific Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2022 the presence of the Japanese sardine, Sardinops melanosticta (Temminck and Schlegel), was detected in the eastern Pacific Ocean, far outside its known western North Pacific range. The species was collected along with the Pacific sardine, Sardinops sagax (Jenyns), which is native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Coupling of both a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain boosts Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine editing in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Fusions of a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain produced effective Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine base editors, with improved C‐to‐T and A‐to‐G base editing efficiency and expanded editing window. Generated herbicide‐resistant rice germplasm by using these base editors demonstrates their potential for precise ...

Enhanced exonuclease–Cas9 systems promote multiple nucleotide deletions with higher efficiency and broader targeting scope in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Cas9 preferentially generates small indels. By tethering an exonuclease and a DNA‐binding domain (DBD) to Cas9, the Exo‐DBD‐Cas9 system efficiently promotes multiple nucleotide deletions. These expanded deletions enable effective disruption of miRNA‐mediated regulation and relieve translational repression through targeted editing of 3′ untranslated ...

Transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome during induced DNA breaks

Nature Communications
Mitochondria serve as the cellular powerhouse, and their distinct DNA makes them a prospective target for gene editing to treat genetic disorders. However, the impact of genome editing on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) stability remains a mystery.

Synergistic engineering of Casδ nuclease for robust genome editing

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A hierarchical engineering strategy was used to enhance the editing activity of Casδ, yielding an optimized variant termed enCasδ. This variant enables robust genome editing in animal cells and plants, with overall editing performance comparable to that of SpCas9 and other Cas12 nucleases.
