Investigating receptor-mediated antibody transcytosis using blood-brain barrier organoid arrays

Nathalie Brandenberg, Camilla Carla Alma Ceroni

Background The pathways that control protein transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remain poorly characterized. Despite great advances in recapitulating the human BBB in vitro, current models are not suitable for systematic analysis of the molecul ...

NRF2 Activation Confers Resistance to eIF4A Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy

Linlin Cao

Inhibition of the eIF4A RNA helicase with silvestrol and related compounds is emerging as a powerful anti-cancer strategy. We find that a synthetic silvestrol analogue (CR-1-31 B) has nanomolar activity across many cancer cell lines. It is especially activ ...

Computational design of anti-CRISPR proteins with improved inhibition potency

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Zander Harteveld, Andreas Scheck, Wei Sun, Stéphane Rosset, Julius Valten Upmeier Zu Belzen, Yujia Wang

Anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins are powerful tools to control CRISPR-Cas technologies. However, the available Acr repertoire is limited to naturally occurring variants. Here, we applied structure-based design on AcrIIC1, a broad-spectrum CRISPR-Cas9 inhibitor, ...

Assessing Public Opinion on CRISPR-Cas9: Combining Crowdsourcing and Deep Learning

Marcel Salathé, Martin Müller

Background: The discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9-based gene editing method has opened unprecedented new potential for biological and medical engineering, sparking a growing public debate on both the potential and dangers of CRISPR applications. Given the speed ...

KRAB-zinc finger protein gene expansion in response to active retrotransposons in the murine lineage

Didier Trono, Alberto De Iaco

The Krüppel-associated box zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) family diversified in mammals. The majority of human KRAB-ZFPs bind transposable elements (TEs), however, since most TEs are inactive in humans it is unclear whether KRAB-ZFPs emerged to suppress TE ...

Analysis of human metabolism by reducing the complexity of the genome-scale models using redHUMAN

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Maria Masid Barcon

Altered metabolism is associated with many human diseases. Human genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) were reconstructed within systems biology to study the biochemistry occurring in human cells. However, the complexity of these networks hinders a consiste ...

Human shelterin protein POT1 prevents severe telomere instability induced by homology-directed DNA repair

Joachim Lingner, Anna-Sophia Briod

The evolutionarily conserved POT1 protein binds single-stranded G-rich telomeric DNA and has been implicated in contributing to telomeric DNA maintenance and the suppression of DNA damage checkpoint signaling. Here, we explore human POT1 function through g ...

In vivo evaluation of gene editing and prosthetic strategies to restore vision in small and large animal models of retinal degeneration

Paola Vagni

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) form a group of diverse disorders that lead to the degeneration of the light-sensing cells of the retina: the photoreceptors. IRDs are among the leading causes of blindness in working-age adults living in industrialized co ...

Tweaking DNA of myeloid cells curbs cancer spread

Michele De Palma, Ali Ghasemi

Blood cells called myeloid cells can facilitate metastasis - the spread of a tumour to distant organs. Taming these cells with drugs that alter the chemical structure of their DNA limits metastasis in mice. ...

A scalable CRISPR/Cas9-based fluorescent reporter assay to study DNA double-strand break repair choice

Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee

Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic type of DNA lesions. Cells repair these lesions using either end protection- or end resection-coupled mechanisms. To study DSB repair choice, we present the Color Assay Tracing-Repair (CAT-R) to simultaneously ...
