Characterization of RNA Editing and Gene Therapy with a Compact CRISPR-Cas13 in the Retina

[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] Investigators reported significant transcriptomic signatures of Cas13bt3 expression in retinal cells and show all-in-one adeno-associated virus gene therapy with Cas13bt3 can effectively silence VEGFA mRNA in human retinal organoids and humanized VEGF transgenic mouse models.

FDA Grants Accelerated Approval to Asciminib for Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP

[Pharmacy Times] The FDA granted an accelerated approval to asciminib for adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.

A Mutant BCL11B-N440K Protein Interferes with BCL11A Function During T Lymphocyte and Neuronal Development

[Nature Immunology] Investigators showed that mice harboring the corresponding Bcl11bN440K mutation show the emergence of natural killer/group 1 innate lymphoid cell-like NKp46+ cells in the thymus and reduction in TBR1+ neurons in the neocortex, which were observed with loss of Bcl11a but not Bcl11b.

Self-Assembled Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-Activatable Nano-Prodrug for Cancer Stem Cell-Enriched Tumor Detection and Treatment

[Nature Communications] Scientists reported a self-assembled nano-prodrug composed of aldehyde dehydrogenases activatable photosensitizer and disulfide-linked all-trans retinoic acid for diagnosis and targeted treatment of CSCs enriched tumors.

Polyclonality Overcomes Fitness Barriers in Apc-Driven Tumorigenesis

Investigators combined multicolor lineage tracing with chemical mutagenesis in mice to show that a large proportion of intestinal tumours have a multiancestral origin. Polyclonal tumors retained a structure comprising subclones with...

Contemporary Concise Review 2023: Interstitial Lung Disease

Crosstalk between vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis mediated by bone morphogenic protein signalling may be important for remodeling of the lung. A novel modality for monitoring...

A PSMA-Targeted Tri-Specific Killer Engager Enhances NK Cell Cytotoxicity Against Prostate Cancer

[Cancer Immunology Research] Scientists reported that the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) Tri-specific Killer Engager specifically bound to PSMA-expressing cells and significantly enhanced expansion, degranulation, and cytokine production of NK cells derived from healthy donors or prostate cancer patients.

Osteoblast-Derived ECM1 Promotes Anti-Androgen Resistance in Bone Metastatic Prostate Cancer

[Advanced Science] Researchers demonstrated that under enzalutamide treatment, osteoblasts in the bone microenvironment secrete increased levels of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), which affected surrounding prostate cancer cells, promoting tumor cell proliferation and anti-androgen resistance.

Rapid Modulation of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons and Dopamine Release by Satellite Astrocytes

[Nature Communications] Scientists discovered that striatal astrocytes occupied a cell type-specific anatomical and functional relationship with cholinergic interneurons (ChIs), through which they rapidly excited ChIs and governed dopamine release via nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on subsecond timescales.
