A Novel Potential Target for CAR-T Cell Therapy in Human Solid Tumors Discovered
At present, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) has made significant achievements in the treatment of specific hematological cancers, allowing patients with relapsed/refractory disease to survive longer and become healthier, but in clinical studies, cell therapy has actually not been successful in the treatment of patients with solid tumors, in part due to the lack of tumor targets ...

Bananas Face Another Extinction Crisis, Can Gene Editing Save Bananas?
Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world, however, in fact bananas are at stake and we may no longer eat them at any time. And the source of this crisis is fungal infection, and in 1950, an outbreak of a banana infectious disease with fungal infection called "Panama disease" directly led to the complete extinction of Gros Michel, the most widely planted banana variety at that ...

Mutation-directed Neo-protein-protein Interactions in Cancer
Genetic mutations in cells are an important cause of cancer development, progression, and drug resistance. How to quickly and accurately translate massive tumor genomic information into safe and effective cancer targeted therapies in clinical practice is a scientific frontier today. At present, a large number of scientific studies have focused on how oncogenic mutations regulate the activity of ...

Enzymatic Mechanism by Which Dolphin Gut Microbes Degrade Plant Polysaccharides Unveiled
Symbiotic microbial groups within the digestive tract of herbivores are the main source of depolymerized lignocellulases. The dolphin is the largest extant rodent, usually living in the Pantanal wetland and Amazon basin, and is also known as the "king of grass" due to its diet based on grasses and aquatic plants. They can efficiently depolymerize and utilize lignocellulosic biomass through ...

Bioinformatics Analysis Brings Disease Genomics Research to a Crossroads
Introduction Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, genomics has played an increasingly critical role in the biomedical field. Its applications include variation and risk assessment in disease genomics, analysis of changes in transcriptomic gene expression, revealing epigenetic effects on tissue and organ development, and heterogeneity at the single-cell level, among others. We present ...

Air quality monitoring equipment can be used to identify indoor pollutants
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) refers to Indoor air quality. It includes indoor air temperature, humidity, air cleanliness and fresh air volume. In the past, indoor air quality was mainly studied by temperature and humidity. This year, as a result of the introduction of air-conditioning system in modern buildings, office modernization, the popularity of household appliances and ...

LncRNA Sequencing Helps to Find Deep Links to Disease
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs that do not code for proteins and are typically greater than 200 nucleotides in length. Studies have shown that lncRNAs are quite complex in function and play an important role in various biological processes such as development, differentiation, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, stem cell pluripotency, and DNA damage. Therefore, those ...

AI Designed Mutation Resistant Broad Neutralization Antibodies Against Multiple SARS-CoV-2 Strains based on A Digital Twin of COVID-19 - Case study
Introduction The emerging variants including Delta and Omicron may not retain activity with current available mAb products that were developed during the initial outbreak with the B.l strain. In this study, we have applied AI technologies in the computational design of broad neutralization antibodies against over 1300 different historical SARS-CoV-2 strains with very small computational cost. ...

Microbes4U - Case study
The Microbes4U® study is the first randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study to evaluate the effects of pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila administered in humans. The main objectives of the Microbes4U® study were to determine the safety, tolerance and metabolic parameters (i.e., insulin resistance, circulating lipids, visceral adiposity, body mass) after 3 months of daily ...

How does your Vaginal Microbiome Affect your Cancer Risk?
When you hear about the vaginal microbiome (VMB), your first thought may be the role it plays in stuff like yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis (BV). But with improved research, we’re uncovering more of the VMB’s long-term effects, like its role in a healthy pregnancy and delivery. The complex community of organisms living in your vagina even plays a part in your risk of ...

Restriction Enzymes – Molecular Scalpels
The biological function of restriction enzymes is derived from the defense of foreign DNA from invading cells. The restriction-modification system of bacteria makes the DNA bases of bacteria to be methylated and modified, so that they are not recognized and cut by their own restriction enzymes. The development of restriction endonucleases In the early 1960s, Werner Arber came up with the idea ...
