Target choice and exon skipping regulate CRISPR-directed gene editing of NRF2 in head/neck and esophageal cancer cells [PDF]
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most diagnosed cancer, with a predicted 30% increase annually by 2030. Conventional treatment is often combinatorial involving chemotherapy and radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and surgery, but over time ...

Homology directed correction, a new pathway model for point mutation repair catalyzed by CRISPR-Cas
Gene correction is often referred to as the gold standard for precise gene editing and while CRISPR-Cas systems continue to expand the toolbox for clinically relevant genetic repair, mechanistic hurdles still hinder widespread implementation.

Gene Editing, Identity and Benefit [PDF]
Abstract Some suggest that gene editing human embryos to prevent genetic disorders will be in one respect morally preferable to using genetic selection for the same purpose: gene editing will benefit particular future persons, while genetic selection would merely replace them.

Construction of PIK3C3 Transgenic Pig and Its Pathogenesis of Liver Damage
As a member of the PIKs family, PIK3C3 participates in autophagy and plays a central role in liver function. Several studies demonstrated that the complete suppression of PIK3C3 in mammals can cause hepatomegaly and hepatosteatosis. However, the function

Rewriting Human History and Empowering Indigenous Communities with Genome Editing Tools. [PDF]
Appropriate empirical-based evidence and detailed theoretical considerations should be used for evolutionary explanations of phenotypic variation observed in the field of human population genetics (especially Indigenous populations). Investigators within

Tumor evolution selectively inactivates the core microRNA machinery for immune evasion
Dysregulation of the microRNA machinery has crucial roles in cancer development. Here the authors show that inactivation of proteins involved in microRNA-mediated gene silencing, such as ANKRD52 or AGO2, confers resistance to T cell-mediated immune ...

Targeted mutagenesis using CRISPR-Cas9 in the chelicerate herbivore Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
The use of CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized functional genetic work in many organisms, including more and more insect species. However, successful gene editing or genetic transformation has not yet been reported for chelicerates, the second largest group ...
