Targeted integration of miR-17 using CRIS-PITCh/RMCE hybrid system in CHO cells is associated with increased recombinant ACE2 production

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are widely used for recombinant therapeutic protein production. MicroRNA engineering represents a potential strategy for improving CHO cell performance; however, conventional random integration can introduce variability in transgene expression. Here, we investigated targeted miR-17 int...

A tardigrade builds its synapses last: two developmental programmes in Hypsibius exemplaris, separated by their timing and then by their chemistry

Two public developmental transcriptomes of Hypsibius exemplaris, Levin et al. 2016's 62 single timed embryos and Yoshida et al. 2017's egg-to-adult series, have never been asked when a tardigrade transcribes its synaptic machinery: neither paper, nor two later reanalyses, mentions synapsin, synaptotagmin, VAChT, GABA o...

Nutritional support in bone infections: mechanisms, strategies, and clinical practice

Bone infections, including osteomyelitis and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), are characterized by prolonged treatment, high recurrence, and functional impairment. Persistent inflammation induces hypercatabolism, negative nitrogen balance, and micronutrient depletion, impairing immune defense and bone repair....

BindRelay refines de novo binder designs while preserving binding modes

De novo protein design now enables the creation of high-affinity binders from a target structure alone. However, current design methods face a trade-off between site control and success rate. Generative models such as RFdiffusion and BoltzGen place binders at chosen sites but often require large candidate pools. Halluc...

Relationship between serum Interleukin-6 during the acute phase of children with Kawasaki disease and the coronary artery lesions

Coronary artery lesions (CAL) represent the most severe complication of Kawasaki disease (KD). This study aims to analyze the relationship between serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and CAL in KD, and develop a predictive model to provide a scientific basis for clinical risk assessment and personalized treatment of...

Structure and Function of Archaeal SRP54 Protein Mutants Associated with Human Severe Congenital Neutropenia

SRP54, a key component of the signal recognition particle, is a highly conserved enzyme both structurally and functionally. The protein plays a vital role in cellular protein translocation by interacting with the translating ribosome and a membrane receptor, thereby aiding protein folding and trafficking. Recent stud...

Phosphoprotein-enriched proteomics identifies heat shock cognate 71 protein as a host factor supporting chikungunya virus replication in macrophages

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection induces an acute illness and ongoing inflammatory symptoms, with macrophages believed to play significant yet not fully understood roles. To characterize host cellular responses associated with CHIKV infection, we performed mass spectrometry–based phosphoprotein enrichment-ba...

Quasi-continuous cotranslational compaction and folding of a multidomain protein

Most proteins start to fold cotranslationally as they come off the ribosome. So far, studies of cotranslational folding have focused mainly on small, single-domain proteins. Here, we have used Force Profile Analysis to study the cotranslational folding of Firefly Luciferase, a complex 550-residue protein composed of an...

Candidate regions under consistent selection in seed beetle (Acanthoscelides obtectus) lines experimentally evolved for early or late reproduction

Since 1986, replicate lines of the seed beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus have been kept under two experimental evolution regimes: Early (E; lines EI–EIV), where beetles reproduce only during the first two days of adult life, and Late (L; lines LV–LVIII), where egg laying is only possible after day 10. After over 200 gen...

Engineered mRNA-packaging virus-like particles enable efficient and precise mitochondrial base editing in vitro and in vivo

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) base editors (mtBEs) are promising tools for studying and correcting pathogenic mtDNA mutations. However, the application of mtBEs is often hindered by substantial mtDNA-wide off-target editing that accumulates with prolonged mtBE expression resulting from plasmid DNA or viral delivery. To ove...
