Versatile Cell Penetrating Peptide for Multimodal CRISPR Gene Editing in Primary Stem Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.CRISPR machinery in diverse molecular formats (DNA, RNA, and ribonucleic protein) is complexed into nanoparticles with the cell‐friendly arginine‐alanine‐leucine‐alanine (RALA) cell‐penetrating peptide. Nanoparticles are delivered to primary mesenchymal stem cells ex vivo or locally in vivo to facilitate multimodal CRISPR gene editing. This RALA‐CRISPR

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Roles of non-canonical structures of nucleic acids in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases
Nucleic Acids Research, 2021 Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are caused by genetic and environmental factors. Expression of tumour suppressor genes is suppressed by mutations or epigenetic silencing, whereas for neurodegenerative disease-related genes, nucleic acid-based ...

Engineering Hybrid Extracellular Vesicles for Functional mRNA Delivery
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study optimizes two methods for the generation of extracellular vesicle (EV)‐mimetic‐Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) (CELLNPs) and EV‐LNP (HEVs) hybrid nanoparticles for messenger (mRNA) delivery. The authors screen lipid compositions to maximize hybrid nanoparticle formation and analyze the resulting nanoparticles with single particle characterization ...

A Peptide–Nucleic Acid Replicator Origin for Life [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Evolution requires self-replication. But, what was the very first self-replicator directly ancestral to all life? The currently favoured RNA World theory assigns this role to RNA alone but suffers from a number of seemingly intractable problems. Instead, we suggest that the self-replicator consisted of both peptides and nucleic acid strands.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The pH‐sensitive His6‐SWNTs, which is functionalized with oligohistidine, can deliver STTM396 molecules into callus cells. The STTM396–SWNT complex treatments enhance shoot regeneration efficiency by regulating the miR396‐GRF module in Arabidopsis and tomato calli.
