Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Glycolytic metabolism of CD8+ T‐cells affects susceptibility to human leukocyte antigen‐mediated abacavir‐induced hypersensitivity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) associated with a specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allotype do not manifest uniformly in all individuals within an HLA model population. This scenario highlights the complexity of predicting drug hypersensitivity reaction risk without considering additional factors ...

Jumbo phage-mediated transduction of genomic islands

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Abstract Bacteria acquire new genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), typically mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). While plasmids, bacteriophages and certain integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are well characterized, the broader diversity of MGEs remains poorly understood.

Multivalent antibody‐based conjugates as new tools for tailored modulation of G protein–coupled receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily consists of the most common targets of approved drugs. Targeting GPCRs offers appealing avenues for therapeutic development. Antibodies and their fragments, such as single‐domain antibodies (VHHs or nanobodies), have emerged as useful alternatives to small molecule pharmacophores as building blocks in ...

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Gene Editing for Haemophilia—The Next Frontier

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recently approved haemophilia A and B gene therapies via adeno‐associated virus (AAV) showed a promising therapeutic response after a single injection, but there are still limitations, including the potential loss of transgene expression and restriction in adults.

Enhanced exonuclease–Cas9 systems promote multiple nucleotide deletions with higher efficiency and broader targeting scope in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Cas9 preferentially generates small indels. By tethering an exonuclease and a DNA‐binding domain (DBD) to Cas9, the Exo‐DBD‐Cas9 system efficiently promotes multiple nucleotide deletions. These expanded deletions enable effective disruption of miRNA‐mediated regulation and relieve translational repression through targeted editing of 3′ untranslated ...

Synergistic engineering of Casδ nuclease for robust genome editing

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A hierarchical engineering strategy was used to enhance the editing activity of Casδ, yielding an optimized variant termed enCasδ. This variant enables robust genome editing in animal cells and plants, with overall editing performance comparable to that of SpCas9 and other Cas12 nucleases.
