A Synthetic Platform for Antibody Junctional Diversification Beyond Natural Constraints

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ARESEC is a synthetic platform that reconstructs functional V(D)J recombination in HEK293T cells. By introducing RSS elements and co‐expressing RAG1/2 and TdT across all three antibody CDRs, it enables programmable junctional diversification and direct generation of high‐affinity variants targeting PD‐1/PD‐L1, overcoming the evolutionary constraints of

THSD7A Exacerbates Atherosclerosis via Activation of Signaling Axis αvβ3/CEBPD/IL1A

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
THSD7A exerts pro‐inflammatory effects and exacerbates atherosclerosis. Mechanistically, THSD7A regulates endothelial cell inflammation and atherosclerosis by activating the αvβ3/CEBPD/IL1A signaling axis. THSD7A is not only a genetic marker but also a potential therapeutic target for coronary artery disease (CAD).

DIXDC1 Promotes Lymphatic Metastasis and Resistance to Cuproptosis in Bladder Cancer Through Mediating DLAT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DIXDC1 drives bladder cancer progression by binding and stabilizing DLAT. This axis enhances NEK7 and CCNE2 mRNA stability to promote proliferation and lymphatic metastasis, while limiting copper‐induced DLAT oligomerization to reduce cuproptosis sensitivity, identifying DIXDC1 as a potential target linking metastasis with cuproptosis resistance ...

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

Human Brain Single Nucleotide Polymorphism: Validation of DNA Sequencing

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports, 2018
Genetic factors may be involved in the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. In the case of the familial type, the disease is due to an inherited mutation at specific sites in three genes. Also, there are some genetic risk factors

Probing the Energy Landscape of α‐Synuclein Amyloid Fibril Formation by Systematic K‐to‐Q Mutagenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We use lysine‐to‐glutamine mutations to study the effect of electrostatics on the kinetics and thermodynamics of alpha‐synuclein amyloid fibril formation. We find that mutational effects map on their structural context within fibrils and identify residues that modulate the energy landscape of alpha‐synuclein self‐assembly. Our work outlines a scalable,

Raman Analysis of RNA Nucleotide Strands From SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants and Subvariants: A Step Forward in the Definition of “Raman Genome”

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Main Raman signals in RNA, related to helical backbone, ribofuranose ring, and nitrogenous bases, are affected by secondary structures that cause hyperchromic effects and significantly alter the Raman intensity. ABSTRACT Raman spectra of RNA nucleotide strands extracted from 20 SARS‐CoV‐2 strains, including the original Japanese isolate, Alpha, Beta ...

Proteogenomic Profiling of Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Identifies Sex‐Differential Proteins and Candidate Therapeutic Targets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated proteogenomic analysis of 44,137 predominantly European‐ancestry UK Biobank participants aged 40–69 years identifies 12 robust proteins associated with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. These proteins define a high‐mortality molecular endotype, support early detection and mortality prediction, reveal sex‐differential proteomic ...
