Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biosensing
Small, EarlyView.Near‐infrared fluorescent single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) stand out as versatile biosensors due to their spectral overlap with the biological transparency window, surface‐sensitive fluorescence emission, and chemical modularity. This review offers a concise guide to understanding the photophysics of SWCNTs, various functionalization strategies,

HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors That Are Active against Drug-Resistant Integrase Mutants
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020 The currently recommended first-line therapy for HIV-1-infected patients is an integrase (IN) strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), either dolutegravir (DTG) or bictegravir (BIC), in combination with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Both DTG and BIC potently inhibit most INSTI-resistant IN mutants selected by the INSTIs raltegravir

Chimeric piggyBac transposases for genomic targeting in human cells. [PDF]
, 2012 Integrating vectors such as viruses and transposons insert transgenes semi-randomly and can potentially disrupt or deregulate genes. For these techniques to be of therapeutic value, a method for controlling the precise location of insertion is required ...
