Enhancing Adeno‐Associated Virus 2 Capsid Engineering Through Co‐Evolutionary Coupling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adeno‐associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a leading platform for gene therapy. However, to unlock the full potential, their manufacturing yields, stability, and efficacy must all be improved. Rational design is limited by poor predictability and the potential impact of mutations on multiple important vector properties.

Sequencing of Lp-PLA2-encoding PLA2G7 gene in 2000 Europeans reveals several rare loss-of-function mutations. [PDF]

, 2011
Elevated plasma levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA2) activity have been shown to be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and an inhibitor of this enzyme is under development for the treatment of that condition.

Pt‐TiO2 mesoporous nanosystem co‐delivering phlorezin enables synergistic sonodynamic‐chemoimmunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma via directly targeting DDX5 and metabolic reprogramming modulation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranking as the third leading cause of cancer‐related mortality globally, continues to pose significant therapeutic challenges. Here, we developed an innovative nanosystem, Phl@PT, based on Pt‐TiO2 nanoparticles for the co‐delivery of Phlorezin, presenting a novel approach for HCC treatment through sonodynamic ...

A Tentative Mechanism of Solubilization of Neuropathy Target Esterase from Chicken Embryo Brain by Phospholipase A2

The Scientific World Journal, 2008
The neuropathy target esterase is a membrane-bound enzyme linked to organophosphate-induced distal neuropathy. Here we report a tentative mechanism of its solubilization from chicken embryo brains by using phospholipase A2.

Biography as the Missing Variable in Drug Development: A Case for Bio‐Biographical Mechanistic Profiling

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Most clinical trial failures reflect unmeasured biological heterogeneity. Biography — chronic stress, adversity, trauma, and social isolation—is a neglected source of that heterogeneity, operating through the same molecular pathways drugs engage.

Oncogenic action of phospholipase A2 in prostate cancer

, 2006
Mortality from prostate cancer is a result of progression of cancer cells to become androgen-refractory and metastatic. Eicosanoid products of the cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways are important mediators of the proliferation of ...

Sucrose Treatment Enhances the Electrotransfer of DNA by Activating Phospholipase A2

Pharmaceutics
Our previous study discovered that sucrose and other non-reducing sugars (e.g., trehalose and raffinose) could be used to improve the electrotransfer (ET) of molecular cargo, including DNA, mRNA, and ribonucleoprotein in various cell lines and primary ...
