Global genetic modifiers of fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell disease: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mutation-induced phenotypic plasticity drives formation of a pro-metastatic tumour-intrinsic niche

It is argued that formation of a tumour-intrinsic niche is a prerequisite for BRAF-mutant CRC seeding to distant organs and that interference with niche formation may help avoid metastatic relapse.

Unlocking non-model organisms with CRISPR-Cas: A roadmap for sustainable biotechnology.

It is concluded that bridging the gap between foundational CRISPR research and its real-world applications is imperative and future efforts should focus on democratizing tools via open-source platforms, advancing delivery systems, and fostering sustainable innovation through synthetic biology integration to fully realize the transformative potential of genome editing in organisms beyond model organisms.

Erratum: Resolution of hepatic fibrosis after ZFN-mediated gene editing in the PiZ mouse model of human α1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Virus-like particles enable targeted gene engineering and pooled CRISPR screening in primary human myeloid cells.

A virus-like particle (VLP)-based toolkit that delivers diverse CRISPR editing modalities to human monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells with high efficiency while preserving viability and innate immune responsiveness is presented.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Disruption of Duplicated Sizzled Genes Induces Twin-Tail-like Caudal Bifurcation in Goldfish (Carassius auratus)

Findings provide direct functional evidence that szl regulates median caudal patterning in goldfish and suggest that szl-dependent modulation of the Chordin/BMP network can generate twin-tail-like caudal morphology.

Generation of two homozygous iPSC lines carrying variants of uncertain significance in LMNA associated with cardiomyopathy.

Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in the LMNA gene represent a major challenge in clinical genetics, as insufficient functional evidence limits their interpretation and clinical decision-making in laminopathies, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Here, we generated two isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines carrying homozygous LMNA variants, c.293A > G (p.Glu98Gly) and c.439G > A (p.Ala147Thr) by prime editing of a healthy donor iPSC line. Both variants are located within Coil 1B domain of lamin A. The edited iPSC lines retain normal morphology, pluripotency, genomic integrity, and trilineage differentiation capacity, providing a valuable platform for functional characterization and potential clinical reclassification of LMNA VUS.
