Delivery of A Chemically Modified Noncoding RNA Domain Improves Dystrophic Myotube Function

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CYTOR is a pro‐myogenic ncRNA in skeletal muscle. Here, chemical probing of CYTOR, coupled with functional cellular assays identifies exon 2 as an independent myogenic RNA domain. Chemical engineering of CYTOR exon 2 RNA improves pharmacologic properties, including RNA stability and cell‐autonomous immunogenicity.

DCA for genome-wide epistasis analysis: the statistical genetics perspective [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) is a now widely used method to leverage statistical information from many similar biological systems to draw meaningful conclusions on each system separately. DCA has been applied with great success to sequences of homologous proteins, and also more recently to whole-genome population-wide sequencing data.

Investigation of phytochemicals, spectral properties, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial activities of chosen Ayurvedic remedies [PDF]

J.Hasty Results 1 (2008) 1-9; Erratum: J.Hasty Results 2 (2008) 1-2
This study examines the phytochemical characteristics of Ayurvedic products. An analysis was performed on Kottakkal Ayurveda Triphala (T), Kottakkal Ayurveda Hinguvachadi Churnam (H), and Kottakkal Ayurveda Jirakadyarishtam (J) using GC-MS and LC-MS techniques to determine their bioactive constituents, while also assessing their antimicrobial, docking,

A Compound Screen Based on Isogenic hESC‐Derived β Cell Reveals an Inhibitor Targeting ZnT8‐Mediated Zinc Transportation to Protect Pancreatic β Cell from Stress‐Induced Cell Death

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic β cell loss by cellular stress contributes to diabetes pathogenesis. The study demonstrates that WFS1–ZnT8–zinc axis regulates vicious cycle of zinc transportation and cellular stress in pancreatic β cell. Based on that, the study applies a strategy for compound screening targeting ZnT8 based on human models, and identifies anisomycin, as a ...

Direct Quantification of Protein–Protein Interactions in Living Bacterial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Quantitative measurement of protein–protein interactions in living cells is vital for biotechnology applications. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) signals in bacterial cells are often weak, leading to false‐positive. Quantitative FRET measurements are implemented to overcome the weak FRET signal.

Antagonist Targeting the Species‐Specific Fatty Acid Dehydrogenase/Isomerase FabX for Anti‐H. pylori Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the atypical dehydrogenase/isomerase FabX in Type‐II fatty acid biosynthesis pathway is essential for H. pylori infection by retaining unsaturated fatty acid synthesis and producing superoxide (ROS). A small molecule FBX‐1991 that specifically targets FabX to inhibit H.

Streptococcus pyogenes adhesion and colonization

FEBS Letters, 2016
Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a human‐adapted pathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of disease. GAS can cause relatively mild illnesses, such as strep throat or impetigo, and less frequent but severe life‐threatening diseases ...

Neuronal C/EBPβ Shortens the Lifespan via Inactivating NAMPT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating the mechanism of shortened lifespan in Thy 1‐C/EBPβ transgenic mice and intervention strategies. Briefly, C/EBPβ/AEP escalation in the aging brain triggers NAMPT fragmentation and NAD+ depletion. Knockout of AEP from Thy 1‐C/EBPβ Tg/Tg mice ameliorates cognitive impairments and elongates the lifespan.

Development of Streptococcus agalactiae vaccines for tilapia.

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016
Vaccination is a widely accepted and effective method to prevent most pathogenic diseases in aquaculture. Various species of tilapia, especially Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, are farmed worldwide because of their high consumer demand. Recently, the

A Versatile High‐Throughput Single‐Cell Screening Platform for Profiling Antigen‐Specific Long‐Lived B Cells in Blood and Bone Marrow

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The MoSMAR‐chip platform provides a high‐throughput and cost‐effective tool for identifying and characterizing antigen‐specific antibody‐secreting cells (ASCs) and memory B cells (MBCs) at the single‐cell level. The ASCs from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine‐immunized mice were successfully analyzed, revealing diverse neutralizing antibodies
