Improved nonviral gene vectors: Efficient and non-toxic polyplexes with enhanced endosomolytic activity [PDF]
For the development of improved polyethylenimine (PEI) polyplexes towards ‘artificial viruses’ two key issues are i) to improve the toxicity profile of the applied vectors and ii) to enhance endosomal release, one of the major barriers to efficient gene ...

Unraveling the epigenetic code in cancer cell–tumor microenvironment crosstalk
Epigenetic regulation is a key driver of cancer development and progression. Diverse epigenetic alterations in cancer cells and components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) orchestrate their communication through multiple mechanisms. We discuss how the epigenetic code coordinates bidirectional cancer cell–TME crosstalk to promote cancer progression ...

AAV gene replacement therapy for treating MPS IIIC: Facilitating bystander effects via EV‐mRNA cargo
MPS IIIC is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in heparan‐α‐glucosaminide N‐acetyltransferase (HGSNAT), for which no treatment is available.

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

Gut microbiota alterations in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy
We investigated the impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the gut microbiota in patients with locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Overall gut microbiota composition remained largely stable throughout CRT while antibiotic exposure may influence microbial diversity.

Senescence-associated LncRNAs TRMP and TRMP-S promote gastric cancer by activating IGFL4
LncRNAs are important regulators of various cellular processes and have gained much attention for being used as molecular markers in various cancers. Here, we explained the novel role of lncRNA TRMP and its splice variant lncRNA TRMP-S in gastric cancer ...

In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) p53 and p63 exert opposite roles on the transcription regulation of the lncRNA NEAT1. Under basal conditions, p53 levels are low and p63 represses NEAT1 expression. Upon genotoxic stress, p53 is rapidly induced, displacing p63 from the NEAT1 promoter leading to NEAT1 transcriptional activation and ...

Probing recombinant AAV capsid integrity and genome release after thermal stress by mass photometry
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are gaining traction as delivery vehicles for gene therapy although the molecular understanding of AAV-transgene release is still limited.

Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.
