A general approach to high-yield biosynthesis of chimeric RNAs bearing various types of functional small RNAs for broad applications. [PDF]
RNA research and therapy relies primarily on synthetic RNAs. We employed recombinant RNA technology toward large-scale production of pre-miRNA agents in bacteria, but found the majority of target RNAs were not or negligibly expressed. We thus developed a

Filtering of Ineffective siRNAs and Improved siRNA Design Tool [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used to suppress gene expression and possess many potential applications in therapy, but how to design an effective siRNA is still not clear. Based on the MPI (Max-Planck-Institute) basic principles, a number of siRNA design tools have been developed recently.

siRNA knockdown of SPHK1 in vivo protects mice from systemic, type-I Allergy. [PDF]
Systemic anaphylaxis is considered to be a typical immediate hypersensitivity response, determined by the activation of immune cells, via antigen-induced aggregation of IgE-sensitized FcεRI cells.

Dynamic telomerase gene suppression via network effects of GSK3 inhibition [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Telomerase controls telomere homeostasis and cell immortality and is a promising anti-cancer target, but few small molecule telomerase inhibitors have been developed. Reactivated transcription of the catalytic subunit hTERT

Site Selective Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugation via Microbial Transglutaminase. [PDF]
Nucleic Acid Therapeutics (NATs), including siRNAs and AntiSense Oligonucleotides (ASOs), have great potential to drug the undruggable genome. Targeting siRNAs and ASOs to specific cell types of interest has driven dramatic improvement in efficacy and ...

Targeted Delivery of siRNA [PDF]
Therapeutic application of siRNA requires delivery to the correct intracellular location, to interact with the RNAi machinery within the target cell, within the target tissue responsible for the pathology. Each of these levels of targeting poses a significant barrier.

Evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts localized at the ER-mitochondria associated membranes in autophagosome formation [PDF]
Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. This membrane scrambling between ER and mitochondria appears to play a critical role in the earliest steps of autophagy.

THE siRNA EFFICACY OF SOLUBLE ACID INVERTASE DOWN-REGULATION IN SUGARCANE (SACCHARUM SPP.) [PDF]
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp. hybrids) is a C4 grass used as a major source of sucrose. Invertase enzymes hydrolyse sucrose into hexose sugars reducing the production markedly.

A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]
Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...
