Hemoglobin's α‐Helix‐to‐β‐Sheet Transition Enables Targeted mRNA Delivery to the Lung

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acidic heating converts hemoglobin into β‐sheet‐rich fibrils with positively charged surfaces. These hemoglobin fibrils electrostatically complex IL‐11 scFv mRNA, selectively bind circulating platelets, and hitchhike to the lung, where they are enriched in fibroblasts.

Machine Learning‐Enhanced Random Matrix Theory Design for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Vaccine Development

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study integrates random matrix theory (RMT) and principal component analysis (PCA) to improve the identification of correlated regions in HIV protein sequences for vaccine design. PCA validation enhances the reliability of RMT‐derived correlations, particularly in small‐sample, high‐dimensional datasets, enabling more accurate detection of ...

Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

Comparison of Receptor‐Mediated Endocytosis and Its Application to Enhance DNA Transfection by TFAMoplex

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.

Overexpression of kermit/dGIPC is associated with lethality in Drosophila melanogaster

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011
Insertional mutagenesis is an important tool for functional genomics in Drosophila melanogaster. The insertion site in the KG00562 mutant fly line has been mapped to the CG8709 (herein named DmLpin) locus and to the 3’ of kermit (also called dGIPC). This

HapAsmbl: A reference‐aided pipeline for assembling haplotypes in Nanopore amplicon sequence data of polymorphic populations

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Advances in long‐read sequencing offer new possibilities to investigate haplotype diversity across multiple genes in plants and other taxa through multi‐locus, long‐read amplicon sequencing (multi‐locus LRAS). Despite this progress, there is a notable absence of dedicated bioinformatics pipelines for assembling diploid haplotypes of ...

Establishment of Humanized EFNB2/B3 Murine Models for Investigating Nipah Virus Pathogenesis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic paramyxovirus classified as a WHO priority pathogen, which causes severe respiratory disease and encephalitis in humans with high mortality. Currently, no licensed vaccines or specific antiviral therapies are available.

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Enzymatic Prenylation of Proteins and Peptides: From Cysteine S‐Prenylation to Tryptophan‐Selective Biocatalysis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.
