CRISPR-FRT targets shared sites in a knock-out collection for off-the-shelf genome editing

Nature Communications, 2018
Genome editing requires precise targeting of loci with specific gRNAs. Here the authors introduce CRISPR-FRT, which targets flippase recognition sites, common in bacterial genetic collections, for fast off-the-shelf genome engineering.

From Adult to Adolescent: Alignment in Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing axial and peripheral forms, with up to 20% of patients developing symptoms before age 16. Despite this substantial pediatric burden, treatment options for juvenile‐onset SpA (JSpA), particularly those with axial disease (axJSpA), remain limited.
