Designed Biomaterial‐Enhanced Cell Transplantation for Neural Tissue Engineering
Biomaterials offer a promising solution for cell transplantation in the central nervous system by creating a protective environment that enhances cell survival, integration, and functional recovery in preclinical models of neurological disorders. ABSTRACT Cell transplantation therapy in the central nervous system is hindered by limited survival and ...

A scalable platform for the development of cell-type-specific viral drivers
Enhancers are the primary DNA regulatory elements that confer cell type specificity of gene expression. Recent studies characterizing individual enhancers have revealed their potential to direct heterologous gene expression in a highly cell-type-specific

TP53‐Mutated Myeloid Neoplasms: 2024 Update on Diagnosis, Risk‐Stratification, and Management
ABSTRACT Alterations in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 are common in human cancers and are associated with an aggressive nature. Approximately 8%–12% of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harbor TP53 mutations (TP53mut) and present immense challenges due to inherent chemoresistance and poor outcomes.

Genome survey sequence of black carp provides insights into development‐related gene duplications
Abstract As one of the traditional "Four Domesticated Fishes" in China, black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is an important species in freshwater aquaculture, an important fishery resource in China, and an invasive species in the United Sates. Here, we reported the draft genome of black carp with an estimated size of 975 Mb and 27,541 predicted protein‐

Distinct Alterations of Inflammatory Biomarkers in Cluster Headache: A Case Control Study
Objective Investigate the immune system's role in cluster headache by analyzing cytokines in people with cluster headache and headache‐free controls, and explore if certain cytokines could predict a specific phenotype. Methods We measured 45 cytokines in adult participants from the Danish Cluster Headache Biobank in a prospective case–control setup ...
