Lipofection of Synthetic Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Having a Palindromic Sequence of AACGTT to Murine Splenocytes Enhances Interferon Production and Natural Killer Activity

Microbiology and immunology, 1994
A synthetic 22‐mer oligodeoxyribonucleotide having an AACGTT palindrome, AAC‐22, induced interferon (IFN) production and augmented the natural killer (NK) activity in murine splenocytes, whereas its analogue, ACC‐22, having an ACCGGT palindrome, did not.

The MdHB7L–MdICE1L–MdHOS1 Module Fine‐Tunes Apple Cold Response via CBF‐Dependent and CBF‐Independent Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In early cold response, MdICE1L utilizes MdHB7L as a cofactor to facilitate the transcriptional activation of MdCBFs, thereby activating cold signaling rapidly and strongly. Subsequently, MdICE1L is degraded by MdHOS1. Meanwhile, MdHB7L is released and accumulates.

Structure and Antigenicity of Kaposi's Sarcoma‐Associated Herpesvirus Glycoprotein B

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) causes severe cancers without effective treatments. This study presents an atomic model of KSHV's critical infection protein, gB, revealing a unique structure shared with related herpesviruses like Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV). The structural similarity highlights vulnerable targets for antibodies, guiding the

CRISPR applications for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: From animal models to potential therapies

WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
CRISPR‐Cas9 gene‐editing technology enables the rapid generation of animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research and has potential to be developed as CRISPR therapy for the long lasting genetic correction of causal mutations. Abstract CRISPR gene‐editing technology creates precise and permanent modifications to DNA.

CRISPRFinder: a web tool to identify clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats

Nucleic Acids Res., 2007
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) constitute a particular family of tandem repeats found in a wide range of prokaryotic genomes (half of eubacteria and almost all archaea).

Development and Application of Organic Sonosensitizers in Cancer Therapy

Aggregate, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of organic sonosensitizers employed in cancer treatment, describing their underlying mechanisms and structure‐activity relationship in terms of sonodynamic therapy. The significance of nanotechnology and combination therapy with other oncological modalities (photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, etc.)

A willow sex chromosome reveals convergent evolution of complex palindromic repeats

Genome Biology, 2019
Sex chromosomes have arisen independently in a wide variety of species, yet they share common characteristics, including the presence of suppressed recombination surrounding sex determination loci.

Application of humanized mice in the safety experiments of antibody drugs

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract of this review highlights the critical role of humanized mice in the safety evaluation of antibody drugs. First, the inherent immunogenicity of antibody drugs can lead to the production of antidrug antibodies and hypersensitivity reactions on repeated administration.

Novel Virulence Gene and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Subtyping of the Major Serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica is the leading cause of bacterial food-borne disease in the United States. Molecular subtyping methods are powerful tools for tracking the farm-to-fork spread of food-borne pathogens during outbreaks.

Spider Eye Development Editing and Silk Fiber Engineering Using CRISPR‐Cas

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
CRISPR‐Cas9 gene editing represents an effective and precise technology to induce mutations in the genome, and it has been applied to a wide range of organisms for diverse purposes. However, CRISPR‐based gene editing in spiders has not been reported to date.
