Advanced Science, EarlyView.Targeting eRNAs from TNFα‐associated super‐enhancers with ASOs effectively reduces TNFα expression and inflammatory responses in both mouse models and patient‐derived immune cells. The conserved nature of these regulatory regions between species highlights the potential of eRNA‐targeted approaches as a therapeutic strategy for chronic inflammatory ...

Lamarck and immunity: Somatic and germline evolution of antibody genes [PDF]
, 2009 Current work on the mechanism of hypermutation of somatically rearranged antibody variable (V) genes shows that the most likely mechanism involves both direct DNA modification (deamination of cytosines to uracils by AID deaminase) and strand nicking plus

A Phase Separation‐Assisted Pre‐Enrichment Method for Ultrasensitive Respiratory Virus Detection
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Conventional biomarker enrichment lacks versatility and specificity. Phase separation‐assisted pre‐enrichment (PSAP) is introduced for concurrent antigen (47×) and RNA (44×) enrichment. Tenfold and fivefold lower detection limits for SARS‐CoV‐2 and Influenza, respectively, were achieved.

Studies of FLT3 mutations in paired presentation and relapse samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia: implications for the role of FLT3 mutations in leukemogenesis, minimal residual disease detection, and possible therapy with FLT3 inhibitors [PDF]
, 2002 FLT3 mutations, either internal tandem duplications (ITDs) or aspartate residue 835 (D835) point mutations, are present in approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have been associated with an increased relapse rate.
