Emergent Chemical Reactivity and Complexity of RNA Condensates. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
RNA condensates capable of substrate enrichment and catalysis modulate their environment. Could this start a catalytic selection loop or evolution? Abstract The RNA world hypothesis posits the existence of life‐like assemblies that consisted mostly of RNA.

Tunable self-cleaving ribozymes for modulating gene expression in eukaryotic systems.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Advancements in the field of synthetic biology have been possible due to the development of genetic tools that are able to regulate gene expression. However, the current toolbox of gene regulatory tools for eukaryotic systems have been outpaced by those ...

Nondenaturing purification of co-transcriptionally folded RNA avoids common folding heterogeneity.

PLoS ONE, 2010
Due to the energetic frustration of RNA folding, tertiary structured RNA is typically characterized by a rugged folding free energy landscape where deep kinetic barriers separate numerous misfolded states from one or more native states.

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

High yield production of the antifungal proteins PeAfpA and PdAfpB by vacuole targeting in a TMV‐based expression vector

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Antifungal proteins (AFPs) derived from filamentous fungi show great potential against economically significant fungi that cause plant diseases and consequently threat food safety and security. This study focuses on the Penicillium expansum PeAfpA and Penicillium digitatum PdAfpB proteins and their activity against several phytopathogens.

Construction of Reverse Genetics System for Feline Calicivirus FCV‐BJ616 and Proteomic Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study successfully isolated the FCV‐BJ616 strain derived from cats and established a reverse genetics system. In vivo experiments showed that rFCV‐BJ616 exhibits wild‐type virulence, leading to high fever, weight loss, and multi‐organ lesions in infected cats. Proteomic analysis indicated that both rFCV‐BJ616 and FCV‐BJ616 share similar regulatory

Reconfigurable Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles with Therapeutic RNAi Responses to Intracellular Disease Markers

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 5, 15 January 2026.
Many known diseases arise from dysregulated gene expression, and differentially expressed genes can serve as biomarkers to distinguish diseased cells from healthy tissues. In this study, reconfigurable nucleic acid nanoparticles (recNANPs) are introduced that can detect overexpressed cancer biomarkers and subsequently release RNAi inducers to silence ...
