An Engineered PfAgo with Wide Catalytic Temperature Range and Substrate Spectrum
This work presents a strategy for engineering thermophilic Ago proteins to obtain wide catalytic temperature range and broad substrate spectrum. This strategy is applied to engineer PfAgo and TtdAgo, and the biochemical properties of the engineered PfAgo are systematically characterized. The study further elucidates the structural differences involved.

The Bioengineering of Microspheric Skin Organoids and Their Application in Drug Screening
A novel method for the preparation of uniform microspheric skin organoids via spinning bioreactors is developed. The organoid consists of a core‐shell structure to mimic the bilayered skin structure with the epidermis on the surface. For efficient drug screening, the organoid is equipped with a luciferase reporter to detect canonical Wnt signaling, and

Small RNA Toxin‐Assisted Evolution of GC‐Preferred ErCas12a for Enhanced Genome Targeting Range
ErCas12a is engineered to target GC‐rich PAMs using a small RNA toxin‐aided positive screening system. The resulting variant, enErCas12a, exhibits an expanded PAM profile and facilitates efficient gene editing in both bacterial and mammalian cells, while preserving high targeting specificity for both canonical and non‐canonical PAM targets.
