Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS whose diagnosis is mainly based on clinical evidence, magnetic resonance imaging, and the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Current approaches provide only partial insight into disease‐related biological processes, thus

Transthyretin is a promising prognostic marker of non-developing pregnancy in hypothyroidism
Non-developing pregnancy is one of the most important problems in the practice of an obstetrician-gynecologist. Transthyretin is a transplacental transport protein of T3, T4 and is expressed in cyto- and syncytiotrophoblast cells.

A proposed mechanistic framework of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) pathogenesis. In Stage 1, genetically susceptible individuals harbor risk variants within major histocompatibility complex (HLA) and non‐HLA loci that impair central and peripheral immune tolerance mechanisms within the thymic and peripheral ...

Protein mis-folding and human disease
Serum Amyloid P Component (SAP), a putative molecular chaperone, is a homopentamericplasma protein of 25kDa subunits. It binds to the amyloid fibrils ofmisfolded proteins, which cause amyloidosis in humans. SAP not only stabilizesamyloid fibrils but also

Serum transthyretin in hemodialysis patients : relationship to nutritional status [PDF]
The validity of serum transthyretin as a nutrition assessment parameter in hemodialysis patients was investigated. Fifty-one subjects (39% male and 61 % female; 53% black, 28% white, 12% Hispanic, 7% Other) receiving hemodialysis for 30 24 months (mean ...

Lipid‐coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (LSPIONs) are developed as MRI‐visible lipid nanocarriers for glioblastoma imaging. By tuning nanoparticle size and SPION loading, their transverse relaxivity (r2) can be systematically controlled over one order of magnitude, reaching 390 mm−1 s−1 at 9.4 T.

Small molecule amyloid disrupters demonstrate therapeutic efficacy for transthyretin amyloidosis [PDF]
The escalating global trend of an aging population has brought attention to the rising prevalence of late-onset amyloid disorders. Among them, transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) presents a growing medical challenge, particularly in the elderly.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) resulting from deposition of transthyretin amyloid fibrils in the heart is an underrecognised cause of heart failure in the elderly and is associated with a poor life expectancy.
