Inducible CRISPR/Cas systems in precision oncology: Current applications and future perspectives
Inducible CRISPR/Cas systems enable spatiotemporal genome editing in precision oncology. Chemical, optical, physical, and microenvironmental stimuli provide distinct control strategies. Conditional activation may reduce off‐target exposure and basal nuclease activity.

Long‐lasting remodeling of astrocytes in an Scna1+/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a prototypical developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene, leading to loss of function of the voltage‐gated sodium channel Naᵥ1.1. The latter causes early onset drug‐resistant seizures and enduring cognitive and behavioral deficits.

CRISPR Enabled Precision Oncology: From Gene Editing to Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling
CRISPR technology has progressed from a prokaryotic immune system to a diverse suite of editing platforms, including Cas nucleases, base and prime editors, and RNA‐targeting enzymes. These advances enable precise genomic and epigenomic interventions, high‐throughput functional screening, and immune engineering.

ABSTRACT The insular cortex (IC) is known to underlie drug seeking and relapse for multiple drug classes, yet the precise role the IC plays in opioid use disorder (OUD) remains unclear. In preclinical models of OUD, inhibition of the IC has produced conflicting results, such that in some cases the IC seems to promote opioid seeking whereas in others ...

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions in the brain caused by inherited genetic mutations in the CCM1/2/3 genes that disrupt normal blood vessel function. This work demonstrates that these mutations lead to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and iron accumulation, which can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ...

Germinal center formation is resilient to CD69 deletion on T follicular helper cells
CD69 is upregulated on human and mouse CD4+ T follicular helper (TFH) cells within the germinal center. In this article, we use an Il21‐cre mouse strain to ablate floxed Cd69 genes from TFH cells and a proportion of their precursors. We find that when TFH cells lack CD69, the germinal center response remains intact, supporting B‐cell affinity ...

Abstract Isothermal amplification (IA) techniques have emerged as promising alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enabling rapid and efficient nucleic acid amplification at constant temperatures. Meanwhile, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas‐based technology has revolutionized molecular diagnostics by ...

DNA Recombinases as Genome Editing Tools
Site-specific recombinases (SSRs) have the potential to serve as ideal genome editing agents because they catalyze precise and efficient DNA strand exchange, but their innate specificity limits their applicability to a narrow range of DNA sequences.

Molecular and functional experiments highlight the relevance of species‐specific polymorphisms in a B12 riboswitch of the Mycobacterium genus. This information provided proof‐of‐concept to engineer a whole‐cell biosensor capable of detecting vitamin B12. ABSTRACT Vitamin B12 metabolism differs among members of the Mycobacterium genus.

Megalocytivirus: A Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, Immune Evasion, and Prevention Strategies
ABSTRACT Megalocytivirus, a large double‐stranded DNA virus belonging to the Iridoviridae family, has infected over 100 species of fish, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture, food, and ornamental fish industries. These viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry and have diameters ranging from 120 to 200 nm.
